The View From 5 Ft. 2

Why You Need City Sandals

Have you heard of city sandals yet? If you haven’t, you’re in the right place!

I first discovered them a few summers ago when I had a pair of sandals I wore until they literally broke. To my dismay, they were no longer carried and I spent my days looking for a pair that were just like them. Lo and behold a few years later everyone has caught on to the fact that you really can’t go wrong with a pair of these sandals in the summer.

City sandals usually have a block heel that’s around 2-2.5″ tall. It’s the perfect height to run around the city in – whether it’s your errands, summer activities or going to the flower market.  They’re not only comfortable, but even if you don’t live in the city it’s nice to have a shoe that gives you a little heel without being a nuisance (always a plus for me!).

You no longer have to worry about changing shoes from a day spent in the park to a dinner and drinks – one and done, baby.

For more options I found this pair is under $100, an embellished pair and this pair worth investing in. If you’re looking for something slightly higher this cognac pair is under $70.

Are you a city sandal girl, too?
