These 5 Surprising Sandal Microtrends Are Actually Taking Off

The below styles are somewhat controversial and certainly represent a “Marmite” kind of addition to your closets (some of you will love them). But however you feel, know this: There’s a group for all microtrends, and the below sandal styles are already picking up on social media and amongst the coolest fashion people. I’ll personally be interested in two of these trends: “granny” wedges (as I’m calling them—essentially comfy a low-wedge slider!) and green shoes (I’ve had a lot of wear out of red sandals with all sorts of outfits, so I’m sure another colour could work just as successfully).

Rosie HW has already been onto the trend with her Gianvito Rossi mules.

You may not feel ready for it, but high-heeled flip flops appear to be the directional shoe du jour for minimalists.

They aren't a mass-produced style, but you will still find them in major places like Zara.

Green has been trending in clothing, so it’s no wonder that this hue has moved over to shoes.

From lime green and “Kermit” green to soft sorbet pastels, you’ll be surprised at how much oomph this bold colour can add to an outfit.

Demi (or mini) wedges with simple slider fronts haven’t been “fashion shoes” in my time in the industry, so this is a real first.

They’re the kind of comfortable, sensible sandals that I’m pretty sure my nan used to wear in the summer (only hers weren’t Chanel).

In addition to thong-fronted flip-flop heels, you’ll also learn that toe rings are defying all potential blister fears. They’re set to become a popular sandal style on Instagram.

They come in both flat and heel forms and usually feature sculptural leather.
