Sandals and summer go hand-in-hand, just like ice cream and beach days, or, since we're talking fashion, flowy dresses and bikinis. But buying new ones yearly —or even replacing worn-out pairs — can get expensive. We know you already know that, which is probably why you're here, checking out our guide to the best sandals Amazon has to offer. The retailer is one of our favorite places to find shoes of all kinds (heels! Sneakers! Even designer shoes!) when we're in a pinch and need that two-day shipping, or when we want to cut back on spending and get savvy.

Ahead, we've rounded up the 11 best pairs of sandals from Amazon for summer. We scoured the brand's bestselling sandals page to find the ones that will serve you best, from strappy sandals and braided styles to waterproof pillow slides and a block-heeled option for those who like a little extra height. We included a range of prices too, starting at $14 and capping at $30. Keep scrolling to shop our selects.
