The weather might be heating up, but one thing about my style isn't changing this summer—I'm not giving up on my closed-toe shoes. Sandals are a never-worn item in my life, after spending 30 years living in New York City and dealing with the city's persistent dirt and grime. I rely on these perfectly anti-sandal summer shoes to carry me through the warmer months.
My toe-concealing collection runs the gamut, inclusive of trendy sneakers and sandal-adjacent flats. They're comfortable and just as breathable as a pair of traditional summer styles, but without the exposed feeling that so often accompanies them. They're also chic enough to wear in the office or on a day off. And as someone who walks more than 10,000 steps a day, I can guarantee they'll last and remain comfortable after a few hours of wear.
