The best part is that all the following shoe types are extra comfortable, so you don't have to worry about seeing stars from pain while walking. Since loose, comfortable clothes are trending this year, it's no surprise that the most important aspect for shoes is that you feel good in them and your feet survive wearing them without injuries. The following practical pieces are perfect for everyday wear:

1/5. Fisherman sandals

The comfortable yet quite divisive fisherman sandals will be popular again this year and create a great contrast with a light summer dress. You can also use them with loose pants or jeans for exciting outfits.

2/5. Boots

Another exciting combination that adds a bit of casualness and edginess to your look. For cooler days, boots or Chelsea boots are ideal choices that go well with any clothing style. If you want, you can make this combination more feminine with interesting tulle socks. Definitely choose ankle boots that are unlined and well-ventilated so your feet don’t feel like they’re in a sauna.

3/5. Canvas sneakers

This probably needs no introduction, as a light canvas sneaker fits well with airy spring dresses. If you want to be sure, choose white, as it goes well with everything. You can wear it with invisible socks or ankle socks if you want to jazz up your outfit a bit. Made from breathable material, it’s no problem to wear even in warmer weather if your pedicure isn’t quite ready to show off yet. 

4/5. Classic black slides

A piece like this is a must for spring and summer because it’s comfortable, easy to slip on, and can be combined with more elegant outfits as well. It can have one or two straps; the only important thing is that it’s comfortable. Nowadays, you can find many exciting solutions for this type, the square toe is still fashionable, but puffy, braided straps are also popular.

5/5. Flip-flops

Okay, not the traditional rubber-soled flip-flops, but the slightly more refined leather flip-flops, which can also be a good accessory for spring dresses. Make sure the sole is thick and cushioned enough, so longer walks won’t be a problem. It’s worth breaking them in before use if they tend to chafe between your toes; you can do this by wearing them a few times at home before going on a longer walk.
