From L.A. to Stockholm, These 5 Summer Shoes Are Really Trending

With this insane heat wave showing no signs of surrender, we're placing bets on summer 2018's hottest shoe trends being totally wearable well into September. From chunky sneakers that look like something your dad would have worn in the '80s to minimalist sandals with a '90s spin, this summer's shoe trends have been varied to say the least.

If the thought of having your toes on display at the office makes you cringe, S/S 18's kitten-heel mules might be the ones for you. Love Calvin Klein's nod to kitsch Americana? Then line-dance your way straight to the till for a pair of cowboy boots. With all of these standout summer shoe trends on tap, it's time to start dressing from the feet up. Whoever said not to look at your feet while you're walking hadn't met these knockouts...
