Toe Ring Sandals Are Shaping Up to Be Summer’s Biggest Trend

“Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links.”

The sandal trends of 2024 are coming in hot. So far, we’ve been seeing slew of flatforms (aka the platform shoe’s walkable cousin), all kinds of fisherman sandals, and the revival of thong sandals. Now, there appears to be another style gaining traction within the fashion set: toe-ring sandals. And suffice to say, I’m obsessed.

Basically like jewelry for your feet, the nearly-naked style is most recognized for an embellished loop that adorns the big toe. The shoes are minimalist in design and have ’90s air about them, but the toe-ring detail adds just enough oomph to make your feet pop. They pair fabulously with billowy dresses and caftans, but they also work just as well with linen pants, jeans, and pretty much any other laidback look.

There are a lot of options to choose from on the internet, but I made the work easy for you by sharing stand out styles from T&C‘s favorite designers, including Emme Parsons, Amanu, and Ancient Greek Sandals. Ahead, 15 toe-ring sandals to add to your summer shoe collection.
