Planning a weekend getaway at the beach? Along with the figure flattering bikini, shades and suntan, did you also pack the right pair of shoes? When it comes to beach wear, you need sandals or shoes that are water resistant and walkable on that sand.

A couple of years back I had a terrible experience when my kitten heel sandal got stuck in wet sand. And don’t even get me talking on the hours it took to take out all that sand. So here’s a quick guide on choosing the right shoes for the beach as per your requirements like-

1. Braided thong sandals

Sandals are a trendy and practical pick for walking along a boardwalk or at the beach. But remember do away from heels (except platforms of wedges, which don’t get stuck in the sand that easily). The braided thongs are stylish and offer ample support for the feet. You can hit the water in them because with all that braided support, your feet won’t keep slipping out.

2. Naughty monkey wedges

Naughty monkey wedges are a fun pick for the beach. The wedge sandal that’s beaded to perfection will have you rocking two great trends of cork and southwestern sizzle, making it a smart pick for the warmer season. The sandal shines with a beaded fabric upper.

The adjustable heel strap offers the right support and the 1¾” platform and 3¼” cork wedge heel ensure comfort. The synthetic sole is beach friendly and very easy to clean. You can wear these shoes for a lunch or outing post the beach.

For me, being barefoot on the beach and lounging around is the best alternative (unless you hit some sharp sea shells). But for those days when you have other plans, immediately after hitting the beach…. These shoes are a trendy and feasible option!
