85 Unique Sandal Styles

From Sporty Opulence Accessories to Crystallized Stiletto Heels

— August 11, 2014 — Pop Culture
Summer may be coming to an end but there is still time to sport some of these unique sandal styles. Standouts from this vast list include Honestly WTF's DIY star-accented heels that are inspired by Giuseppe Zanotti's suede cage bootie sandals. Another fan favorite is Dolce & Gabbana's gilded platform design that features a caged, metal heel and floral accent details.

These unique sandal styles are not only a great way to dress up a summer look but can also be paired with evening wear during autumn, spring and even winter months. Whether opting for a comfortable and athletic-themed look or choosing a style that is more show-stopping, one is sure to turn heads in any of these fun accessories.
