The 14 It Shoes of Summer 2025

I'm a shoe person year-round, but I wholeheartedly believe that summer shoes are the best shoes. It's the time of year when you can afford for your shoes to be less functional and more fun. Brands are fully aware of the amount of footwear freedom summer allows for, and their designs reflect that. As a result, trends like jellies, clogs, flip-flops, and mesh sneakers are everywhere—and people are buying them up.

As a shoe-obsessed fashion editor, I've spent a lot of time recently scoping out the new summer shoes, and there are 14 specific styles that are particularly buzzy, many of which may be sold out before June even arrives. Given that, now is the time to choose your fun summer shoes, and the styles I'm calling out below are it. I found everything from the viral Chloé jelly flip-flops to the Row sandals celebrities are smitten with. Scroll to shop with me.
