If you look at the shoes most people are wearing, honestly it’s no wonder our feet hurt! Here is my take on summer fashion – with shoes that won’t pinch your toes or cramp your style. Because here at Anya’s Reviews we celebrate the natural shape of the foot! And when you love your feet, they tend to love you back.
Here is my hand-selected summer capsule wardrobe – but make it barefoot shoes. These will pretty much cover all your lifestyle needs for the season!
Chic Flats
Custom Jenon Villet
These are brand new, specially made in a European workshop for Anya’s Shop.
The Villet flats are extra special because they have plenty of toe space in all directions – both in height and in width. So you get no toe pinching and no rubbing, but the shoe still holds its shape! This makes for an overall elegant, upscale vibe.
I wear a size 37 in these flats. The straps fit securely on my low volume feet, and they come with a removable insole for high volume feet.
Be Lenka Rosaluna
I love a black toe cap flat! The Rosaluna is giving Coco Chanel vibes, but foot-shaped. They feel like a slipper, but are dressy enough for work and nights out.
I wear a size 37 in the Rosaluna too. They come with a removable insole, but even with it they are a little loose on my narrow heels.
Everyday Staple Sandals
Be Lenka Summer
The Be Lenka Summer has been one of our bestselling sandals year over year, since Anya’s Shop started in 2020. They’ve got that minimalist look for easy styling that can go dressy and casual. They have adjustable velcro front straps for a customized fit, and an ankle buckle for security.
The front straps can also be trimmed at the stitching. I wear a size 36 in the Be Lenka Summer, and they fit my length really well. I am usually a 36 and sometimes a 37 in sandals, so the Summer is true to size.
Groundies Kos
The Groundies Kos gives chunky sandal vibes. The back strap has a 3 buckle adjustment, but overall doesn’t have as much adjustability as the Be Lenka Summer. But I like the clean lines and thick straps.
I wear a size 36 in these too, and the length is just right. They are a little loose over my ankles, but I have very low arches.
Classic Loafers – Shapen Sheen
The Shapen Sheen loafer is patent leather that makes a statement. They have a wide fit that works for even extra wide feet, and they just look sleek!
The patent leather is stiffer, so be prepared for a shoe that is not as crazy soft/flexible as you might be used to with barefoot shoes. But the toe space makes them plenty comfortable for me, and I like to have a snazzier shoe that holds its shape for elevated looks.
I wear a size 37 and use an insole with mine. These fit Samantha’s extra wide, high volume feet too!
Colorful Sneaker – Shapen Re:Wind
These are the comfiest and cutest sneakers. I LOVE both the peach and the jade – they give a pop of color that is both fun and easy to style. They’re also so soft and have a very versatile fit.
They work well on my average/wide width low volume feet, AND on Samantha’s extra wide high volume feet. I prefer them with an extra Shapen insole, and recommend that to anyone with low arches and/or who wants more cushion. I wear size 37.
White Sneaker – Barebarics Zing
Our restock of this popular model is here and being unboxed! Fresh inventory will be available in just a few days!
The Barebarics Zing is special in barefoot shoes because it has a very durable, abrasion resistant outsole. So you can get lots of urban mileage in comfort in them.
I wear size 37 in the Barebarics Zing.
Still looking for summer footwear? Try these barefoot shoes – you’ll still look cutesy, but your feet will thank you.
