When you think of sandals, you probably think of traditional, open-toed ones. If open-toe isn’t your thing, but you don’t want to be stuck wearing sneakers or regular shoes all summer, a closed-toe sandal is a perfect alternative. Airier than flats or sneakers, your feet will stay cool during the summer months, and, will even last into the cooler early fall months, when you aren’t quite ready to make the switch to boots. Here are our picks for the best closed-toe sandals for men and women.
