Keep reading for some cool beach shoes we’re totally wishlisting for summer.

4. Nine West Sand Bar Slide Sandal, $39 $27.30
It’d be kind of impossible NOT to have a great day at the pool or beach with these cuties! Plus, the shimmery band totally reminds us of the light reflecting off the water.
5. ALDO Eteiven Sandal, $50
Down to rock a pattern poolside? Check out these floral-printed strappy slides! We have a feeling you’ll wanna wear them to other places besides the beach and pool — as you totally should!
6. Birkenstock Arizona Essentials Waterproof Slide Sandal, $44.95
And speaking of cool strappy slides, this extra-comfortable style from Birkenstocks is also near the top of our list.
7. Melissa BeachsNext Slip On Sandal, $75

8. Vans Range Slide Sandal, $34.99
Whether you’re shopping for sneakers or slides, you just can’t go wrong with Vans. There’s a classic black-and-white pattern out there too, but it’s the rainbow checkers that are stealing our hearts.
While we’re adding new styles to our warm-weather rotation, don’t forget about fun wedges! (We’ve already rounded up our favorite styles for ya.)
