13 Fisherman Sandals That Are Classic and Cool in 2024
With warm weather finally here, you may find yourself chasing footwear thatâs cool and comfortable (as likely happens every season). Recently, our spring and summer shoe-trend focus has turned toward fisherman sandals. In the past couple of years, the shoe has re-emerged on runways (see: The Row and Prada) and under the soles of celebs like Taylor Swift, Hailey Bieber, and Katie Holmes.
Rumored to date back to the Roman Empire and Ancient Egypt, the fisherman sandal is known for its thick straps that weave across the top of the foot and toes and buckle at the ankle. Theyâre traditionally crafted from leather thatâs long-lasting and comfy, once broken in. Similar to the ballet flat and loafer, the fisherman sandalâs silhouette is timeless and versatile, effortless to style them with straight-leg jeans or cut-off denim shorts; an oversized white T-shirt, slip skirt, and cuffed socks; or a flowy summer dress.
With its rise in popularity, weâre seeing an explosion of the shoe in all manner of styles and materialsâincluding playful jelly sandals, festival-ready platform fisherman sandals, cushioned walking sandals, slides, and classic leather sandalsâfrom retailers and brands like Anthropologie, Dr. Martens, AGS, Melissa, J.Crew, and even Old Navy. Below, find the best fisherman sandals, as curated by Glamour editors.
