Now that it’s officially summer, I’ve been searching for sandals to match my bright and punchy coral toe nails.

I like a sandal that’s chic enough for parties, yet at the same time it needs to be durable enough to withstand a trek through the city.  Maybe that’s why I’m loving these hybrid sandal-shoes?  The shape is distinctly sandal-esque yet the laces are clearly products of a shoe.  Confusing yet oh so delightful!

I love finding unexpected twists to something as simple as a sandal.  These lace-up versions have just the right amount of originality and newness for my taste.

The only problem now is finding my favorite out of the above options!  Which one is your favorite?
