The 20 Flatform Sandals Worth Taking for a Spin This Summer

"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links."

Don't get me wrong: I love a good platform shoe when the occasion calls for it. But you know what I love even more for their wearability? Flatform sandals. Made with a flat (as the name would suggest) platform, as opposed to a graduated one, these sandals offer height, support, and good structure in juxtaposition to more airy summer fabrics like linen. Oh, and, they're a much better city sandal because of the increased distance from the sidewalk, if you ask me. All in all, a flatform, no matter the height, is a great way to add a touch of taste to a run of the mill summer look—a trend I hope will continue to keep going strong. Here, 2o fabulous flatform sandals to wear this summer.
