Turn up the heat with fancy footwork.

The summer presents a perfect opportunity to escape from a style rut every year. With so many invitations and holidays on the horizon, moments to experiment with your look will be aplenty. We at Hanig’s believe in starting from the bottom up. Your choice in footwear this season will not only make or break your style, but it will also be the deciding factor in how long you enjoy yourself during various social gatherings. We did the legwork for you and found two quintessential sandals that seamlessly blend functionality, and contemporary appeal.

Wolky’s Lisse—priced at $179—delivers an on-trend look inspired by utility. It sports a grained leather upper in three fresh hues: baltic blue, light gray, and classic black. The dynamic lockdown system consists of crossover webbing at the instep, a hook-and-loop slingback strap, and an additional Velcro strap across the vamp. Suede lines the insole for luxe step-in comfort. Creating a flexible platform with a wedge heel, the one-piece rocker sole unit is stabilized by a siped tread design. The Drick from Arche takes a more minimalist approach. Available in sand, navy, or coclico for $299, this silhouette encourages 360-degree airflow thanks to a perforated leather or nubuck upper. The open-toe profile pulls on and secures via an integrated pull tab and central zipper at the heel. A suede footbed cushions the underfoot. Its latex rubber sole features a low-to-the-ground wedge and a grippy tread pattern.

The Lisse and Drick are ready for whatever summer throws at you. Whether you’re entertaining in your own backyard or meeting up with friends and family for holiday gatherings, these sandals will keep you stylish and comfortable. Let Drick be the star of the show at a barbecue under a silky midi skirt paired with a simple bodysuit. Choose a floppy hat to shield your eyes from the sun while still looking good. Going to a family picnic? Dress up your favorite skinny jeans with a flounced blouse and a statement necklace. Play up Lisse’s utilitarian aesthetic with wide-legged chino shorts, a relaxed slub knit t-shirt and a bucket hat at a music festival. It works with simple outfits, as well! Wear a cover-up as a maxi dress layered over your bathing suit for a beach party. A printed bandana tied around your head tames flyaways and adds extra flair. No matter your look, the Drick and Lisse sandals will provide you with the support and fashion-forward appeal you need to enjoy the season from sun up to sun down!
