As seasons change, let’s not forget to show love to the one shoe that holds us down: sandals!
Versatile enough to wear to the beach, to the workplace, and a fun night out, these open-toed essentials are the perfect closet staple.
And still, sandals are severely misunderstood and underrated because we still equate them with those $5 flip-flops we wear to the park, and that’s not quite it. They’re far more sexy and stylish than that, and these black-owned brands crafted the proof!
Here are 4 high-end, black-owned shoe brands that have the sandals you need to spice up your kinda boring style before the summer comes to a close.
