Flip flops just seem to scream summer. From the beach to the theme park they are a perennial favorite. But for longer walks than just from your lounge chair to the pool, the Crocs ™ Athens Flip Flops are definitely one of the best women’s sandals for summer. With a double cushioned footbed and ergonomic Italian styling, your feet will be thanking you in no time. Another plus for summer activities, they still have the classic Crocs ™ features, including being anti-microbial, odor resistant and lightweight. Visit www.crocs.com and pick these up for just $29.99.
A flip-flop might not cover some of your less casual events this summer, but you still don’t have to sacrifice comfort. Offering great arch support and stability, Born offers a huge selection of oh so stylish women’s sandals for summer. A favorite, the Plumeria sandal, was featured in the April 2009 issue of Oprah’s ‘O’ Magazine. Hiding beneath the beautiful flower detailing is a steel shank and non-slip rubber outsole making this one of the best women’s sandals for summer.

Another Croc™ favorite women’s sandal for summer is the Patricia sandal. Featuring a 2″ wedge heel and three cross straps, these sandals will take you from poolside to dinner without skipping a beat.

The Patricia is similar to other sandals and shoes in the line made of croslite™ material with anti-microbial and odor resistant properties.
