Lace-up sandals have become our absolute obsession for summer holidays, and honestly, we’re convinced they’re the secret to looking effortlessly put-together while actually being ridiculously comfortable for all those vacation activities. There’s something so romantically bohemian about the way the laces wrap around your ankles and calves—it’s like wearing a little piece of Mediterranean summer wherever you go. We’ve been living in them for everything from cobblestone street wandering in European cities to beachside café hopping because they somehow manage to be both practical and incredibly photogenic. The lace-up detail adds this beautiful textural element that makes even the simplest vacation outfit look intentional and styled, which is honestly a miracle when you’re operating on minimal packing space and maximum adventure energy. We love how they work with flowy sundresses for that perfect vacation goddess vibe, denim shorts when you want to feel casually chic, or even over swimwear for those beach-to-bar transitions that vacation life demands. The ankle support is genuinely helpful when you’re doing a lot of walking on uneven surfaces, and the adjustable lacing means you can customize the fit throughout the day as your feet inevitably swell from all that sightseeing. They photograph beautifully against sandy beaches, ancient architecture, and sunset dinner settings—basically every vacation Instagram moment you could want. We’ve been pairing them with delicate anklets that peek through the laces, flowing cover-ups that complement the bohemian energy, and always, always with a great pedicure because these sandals put your feet front and center in the most gorgeous way possible.
