Sandals to Wear with Vintage Summer Dresses
posted by: vernotisxas in Camper Shoes, General, Kork-Ease Shoes, Sandals on June 19th, 2010
Recently I have become obsessed with buying vintage, or vintage inspired, dresses. All of my free time seems to be consumed by trolling thrift stores, boutiques, and online shopping sites. Now that I have a healthy collection of vintage dresses, I need sandals that complement the vintage aesthetic I’m working. Rising to this challenge, I’ve selected some of my favorite summertime sandals.
As a fan of Kork-Ease shoes (I already own a pair of their Ava sandals – and they are so comfortable!), I’ve been thinking about buying a pair with a cork wedge.
Since I’m a devotee of comfortable shoes, I love Dansko’s. They have a great selection of sandals with a heel, and heels do look great with summer dresses.
If you’re working a 70′s vibe with a vintage dress, clogs are a must have shoe.
During and after college I lived in Spain, and during my time there I fell in love with Campers. I still turn to Campers for a European mix of style and comfort.
I am always drawn to perfectly flat shoes. These sandals by Proenza Schouler are a great reinterpretation of the gladiator sandal trend (something I never got into).
Proenza Schoular Lace-Up Cutout Sandals on sale for $415.99 (regularly $595) at Saks

It's not for everyone, A very subtle look that done well can be very sexy. Think ingenue with a light flowy dress bike riding in the Provence. Shoe blog I get it!
btw
Many colors of the Sissy available here:

My mother would always say “if you have nothing nice to say than don’t say anything”. I’m NOT my mother, the first three featured pairs of ‘sandals’ are a balanced mix of horrifically homely AND hideous!

I am drawn to the last pair, of course. I don’t find the cork-heeled ones too pretty.

I know this is a shoe blog, but with all the vintage dresses talk I was hoping for a picture of some of them!
Personally, I love the modern cork-heeled shoes. Maybe that's because I'm old enough to be a grandmother.
