Whether it's a walk through the park or a beach day, I plan on being outside this summer. The quickest way to kill a nice day, though, is an uncomfortable pair of shoes. There's nothing like blisters or heel pain to kill the vibe, and I refuse to suffer through either this season. I'm on a mission to find summer shoes that are both chic and comfortable, and Nordstrom has got me covered with plenty of options.
Luckily, several summer shoe trends are practically designed to be blister-free. For starters, sandals have stolen my heart (as they do this time every year), but for 2026, I'm prioritizing flat styles I can walk for miles in, like thong styles and other minimalist strappy silhouettes. I also can't forget about cool retro sneakers, like those from Adidas and Vans, for more casual outfits.
