Yes, the sandals that you thought only middle-aged hippies wore, are making a comeback. A strong comeback. The German shoe brand, made from mainly cork and leather, have a super supportive arch and can be worn when walking around for long distances. Plus, they’re available in a variety of colors from traditional brown hues to vibrant magenta purple.
Depending on the style and season, Birkenstocks can be worn with or without socks, adding an extra layer of warmth if you want to rock them in early spring or fall.
2. Wedge Heel

Heels can be a literal pain. Choosing the right style for the right occasion proves to be difficult when it comes to stiletto, kitten or pumps. However, every occasion is fit for a classy and comfortable wedge heel. The thicker heel is optimal for more comfortable strides, particularly for those who are on their feet for most of the day. Opt for a cork heel in the summer with a peep toe in a popping color. In colder months, go with a suede or neutral finish and instead highlight with a statement necklace or handbag.

Converse sneakers are another footwear classic that made a giant comeback this year.
The old school Chuck Taylor has gone from a shoe originally meant for basketball, to footwear customizable to any preference. The iconic star chevron pairs perfectly with seemingly any outfit from jeans and dresses to shorts and maxi skirts.
5. Heeled Boots/Booties

With fall approaching quickly, now is the time to think about what footwear is going to hold through until winter. Heeled boots are the perfect place to start when transitioning from strappy sandals and flip-flops to a sturdier shoe that can withstand harsher weather. With full coverage around the entire foot and a hearty heel, a good pair of heeled boots should last for years.
