Birkenstocks and other orthopaedic sandals have been immensely popular on social media over the past few months. But what you wouldn’t expect is for bonafide fashion girls to get in on the trend too. Yes, open toe sandals are officially big news (again) this fall and honestly, we’re not complaining.
Unexpected, quirky and playful, they work perfectly in our muggy climate. You can either go the dressy route with a pair of strappy, heeled sandals, or opt for a chill, sporty number.
