It’s now summer and I have realized how challenging it can be finding stylish eco sandals. Many of them are over $100 or are built for rugged outdoor activities. I found 10 stylish and trendy shoes perfect for summer all under $100:

1. Gladiator Platform Sandals

The trendy gladiator style & heel height are the perfect components for a sexy summer sandal. This platform sandal is made from soft pleather and a stylish faux-stack heel. To top it off, it’s only $34.99 from Vegan Chic.

2. Safi Sandals

These sandals are fun because they have beaded detail applique on the top and wrap around the ankle. The bold tan is a great color for summer and they also come at a decent price of $44.00 available at Eco Sandals.

3. TeeToe Sandals

These gladiator-style sandals are made from organic cotton. The texture of these sandals is great and they give off a trendy vintage vibe. These sandals are also available in black. You can find them at Simple Shoes for $65.00.

4. Rocket Dog Black Hammock Wedges

The popular retails brand, Rocket Dog makes eco shoes; who knew?! This trendy wedge is made from canvas & cork. It’s accented by a top bow and ankle wrap. Find it at Moo Shoes for $49.95.

5. Natural Linen Ballet Flats

Another reason to love Etsy; these are so beautiful! They’re handmade from natural linen, organic cotton hemp and fabricated satin. The ballet style looks delicate but these are durable flats great for everyday wear. They’re $55.00 available on etsy at The Generation shop.

6. Ibiza Brown Gladiator Sandal

These shoes are both really cute and also a great deal. These gladiator sandals feature the multi-straps and ankle wrap. Find them at Alternative Outfitters for only $35.00.

7. Madden Girl Platform Wedge

I tried these on at DSW Shoe Warehouse and they are so adorable; definitely my next purchase. It wasn’t until I began researching that I found out these are also vegan. They are a very chunky shoe with a peep toe & platform. Don’t be fooled by the gigantic wedge, they’re actually extremely lightweight. The heel is 4.5″ and available on Amazon & DSW at in 4 different colors ranging from $44 – 50.00.

8. Marais Gladiator Sandals

This sandal is the pretty shade for summer. As you can tell from the list, gladiator sandals are only gaining in popularity and this eggplant gladiator sandal is $60.00 from Moo Shoes.

9. Norah Twilight & Cream Sandal

This sandal features a fun square shape with a tie-back behind the ankle.The upper is made of digitally printed organic cotton with accents of faux leather. It’s available at Charmone for $79.00

10. Toms Yellow Portsmouth Cordones

TOMS have released new styles for the season. I love the plaid print and the light colors; it reminds me of summer picnics. Don’t forget their purchase donations: for every pair you purchase, TOMS gives a pair of shoes to a child in need. Find these at TOMS for $69.00.

Let the summertime fun begin!
