18 Stylish Sandals to Replace Your Flip-Flops

We totally get the functionality and purpose of flip-flops. They're one of the simplest shoe styles to just slide on when you're on the go. But in reality, they're really not the best option. Sure, they may be okay for the beach, but rubber flip-flops aren't that sleek, don't add polish to your look, and, most importantly, lack support—which can ultimately cause serious foot pain. So really, there's no reason to spring for a pair this season. And that's especially true because there are several sandals out there that are just as easy as flip-flops but infinitely chicer.
Keep scrolling to check out the 18 pairs we're adding to our carts—and ditch your flip-flops for good.
