These Are *the* 14 It Shoes of Summer 2025
I'm a shoe person year-round, but I wholeheartedly believe that summer shoes are the best shoes. It's the time of year when you can afford for your shoes to be less functional and more fun. Brands are fully aware of the amount of footwear freedom summer allows for, and their designs reflect that. As a result, trends like jellies, clogs, flip-flops, and mesh sneakers are everywhere—and people are buying them up.
As a shoe-obsessed fashion editor, I've spent a lot of time recently scoping out the new summer shoes, and there are 14 specific styles that are particularly buzzy, many of which may be sold out before June even arrives. Given that, now is the time to choose your fun summer shoes, and the styles I'm calling out below are it. I found everything from the viral Chloé jelly flip-flops to the Row sandals celebrities are smitten with. Scroll to shop with me.
Chloé Jelly Sandals
Chloé Jelly Sandals are emerging as the #1 It shoe of the summer. These are the ones that, if you see someone wearing them, you immediately know they're a fashion person. My pick is the brown, but I'd gladly take any of the three.

Miu Miu Clogs
It wouldn't be summer without a Miu Miu It shoe. This year, it's the just-simple-enough, low-heel logo clogs. Prepare to see lots of fashion people pairing them with socks, as seen on Miu Miu's S/S 25 runway.

Vince Barcelona Jelly Mules
Take my advice and don't sleep on these—they're flying out of stock. I just ordered the red pair, which is only available on Nordstrom (FYI), but you can't go wrong with any color.
