Summer is in full swing and, likely, so is your calendar. Whether you’re having a cozy staycation or jetting off on a European getaway, there’s one thing that shouldn’t be slowing you down…your shoes.

For some reason, there's a common misconception out there; the cuter the shoe, the more they hurt. But I believe that style and comfort should go hand in hand, especially in the hot summer months. Let’s be real, with the heat beating down, the last thing you want to do is be blistered or overheated in shoes that weren’t made for real wear.

So if you’re planning on making the most of this season, we’re breaking down the best summer shoes every woman needs in her closet right now. They’re timeless, versatile, and easy to wear—and of course, they’re all from Womads. 😉

The Classic Oxford

Who said Oxfords were only a fall shoe? This timeless staple is the unexpected hero of your summer wardrobe. Oxfords give you the best of both worlds—style and functionality. Not to mention, their versatility. Whether you’re commuting to the office, or sightseeing abroad, you’ll achieve that effortlessly polished look.

Womads Oxfords are handcrafted from soft leather and durable, yet lightweight rubber, making sure they stay in great shape without weighing you down. Plus, they go with everything in your closet making them a perfect addition to a capsule wardrobe for the summer and beyond. No matter, if it’s jeans or a flowy dress, Oxfords add that instant charm with minimal effort (and most importantly, without sacrificing comfort).

The Breezy Peep Toe

When it comes to women’s summer shoes, peep toes are a no-brainer. They’re flirty, breathable, and effortless. But what I love the most is their ability to shift with the moment. Need shoes for date night? Peep toes to dress it up. Running errands in a tank and jeans? They add just enough of a stylish touch to make it a look.

The Womads Peep Toes are made from buttery-soft leather that molds to your feet (a.k.a. no break-in required) and their airy design will keep you cool on the hottest of days. The open-toe style lets your feet breathe while keeping it classy with a slim silhouette. There’s no secret that peep toes are the summer shoes to keep in your rotation.

The Bold Statement Shoe

We’re all about timeless design, but we also know the power of a bold color or pattern. Enter the statement shoe. Summer is the season for getting out of your comfort zone, and there’s no better way than playing around with color, pattern, and texture. There’s plenty of time year-round for neutrals, it’s time to add a pop.

Maybe it’s a bright red Oxford that brings energy to your everyday look. Or maybe it’s a cowprint peep toe that adds a playful edge to your outfit. Whatever mood you’re feeling, these shoes are a reflection of your vibe—and a statement shoe screams confidence.

Why Leather Makes For the Perfect Summer Shoe

When it comes to summer shoes, you’re probably thinking that lightweight fabrics or synthetics are the only way to go. But hear us out, leather might be your new best friend. With the high quality leather that Womads uses in our shoes, you’ll never have to worry about breaking in your new pair. 

Our shoes are crafted with soft leather that molds to your feet, meaning you can wear them straight out of the box—right in time for your next outing. Plus, they're made to be lightweight and breathable so you won’t feel stuck in heavy shoes.

Bonus points: Leather gets better with age. While flimsy materials might be subject to harsh wear and tear, quality shoes will age gracefully; developing a unique character that sets them apart.

No More Last Minute Summer Stress

There’s nothing more stressful than curating an outfit for a quickly approaching event—and worse, your perfect pair of summer shoes not coming in the mail on time. Summer moves fast and we want to make sure your shoes do too.
