To beach lovers, life beyond the flip flop might seem impossible, but we’re here to tell you that there is more to a casual sand and surf shoe wardrobe than rubber and toe jam. If TOMS Shoes and Sanuk doesn’t have you convinced, maybe these simple, cheap, and super cute espadrilles from Soludos will do the trick. Worn by some of the most Cali chic players like celebrities Kate Bosworth and Jennifer Garner, these casual kicks - inspired by centuries of Mediterranean living - can go from city sleek to beach chic faster than you can say Kowabunga. Featuring an all-natural Jute sole and breathable cotton uppers this shoe lives and breathes casual chic.
