In this day and age, there is comfort. When we return to the world (hopefully) this summer, it will be time to temporarily ditch those tight strappy sandals that blister your feet in favor of papa sandals.
The thick-soled sandals with chunky straps are currently all the rage. Which makes sense given the popularity of their colder weather cousins aka dad sneakers. (Not to mention the general revival of papa fashion.)
Papa’s sandals may look slightly orthopedic, but they are still stylish. Some of them have bold buckles, quilts, or other outfits. Chanel even sells a chic version that will make you more than $ 1,300. The good news? You can find lots of comfortable yet fashionable sandals for a lot less.
Scroll down to see the papa sandals you want to live in this summer.
