If you possess the talent to keep backless shoes on your feet and in place all day, kudos. For those who can’t go a few steps without unintentionally flinging off a flip-flop, slingback sandals are a summer must-have — just ask Mandy Moore.
The always-prepared mom of two can’t be bothered to worry about losing a shoe while chasing her toddlers on the beach. That’s why, in her Mark and Graham tote bag, which doubles as a beach bag, she carries a pair of brown strappy slingback sandals for a quick and reliable shoe change.

The This Is Us star shared the contents of her tote in a “What’s in my bag?” Instagram video. Tucked into a separate packing pouch were the slingbacks, complete with stylish and functional buckles. We’re not sure of the exact brand or style of her sandals, but we did find plenty of comparable pairs on Amazon. Get ready for this to be your summer of secure feet.

This shoe may be the most transitional sandal on our list. It’s nice enough to wear to the office, but also practical enough to wear to the beach, just like Moore’s pair. They also have functional, understated buckles that make the fit adjustable, along with responsive cushioning that offers ongoing support, no matter where your day takes them. Best of all, they can easily be tossed in a tote bag and one reviewer even testified to having “no blisters” after wearing them “right out of the box.”

Like the look of Birkenstocks, but don’t love that most styles slip on (and inevitably off)? This similar style comes with an ankle strap that easily snaps closed without any fuss, and the two upper straps have the chic buckles for which Birks are known. Best of all, the shoe offers “great arch support” thanks to memory foam cushioning that feels like you’re “walking on a cloud” all day.
“I have neuromuscular issues, and these really feel good on my feet,” a five-star reviewer wrote, adding that they are “super comfortable.”

This pick from Steve Madden is a trendy, funky twist on a strappy sandal. They’re a puffy leather flatform shoe with a lugged sole and hook and loop straps, one with a turn lock closure that has cute gold hardware. Reviewers say they’re just as comfortable as they are cute thanks to their form-fitting footbed, and the beige tone goes with everything. “They are the perfect summer sandal,” one shopper raved, while another person called them “marshmallow soft.”
Mandy Moore clearly knows how to choose a good summer shoe. Below, shop more slingbacks sandals that’ll stay put and look fabulous.
