One of the best things about summer, in my opinion, is that any shoe goes, and easy slip-on sandals reign supreme. One of my longtime favorite slip-on summer shoes is a very popular Birkenstock style that costs only $50, and since Natalie Portman just wore it in L.A., I’m guessing she’s also a fan.
The Birkenstocks in question are the Arizona Eva Sandals. (Portman opted for the lavender pair, which she wore with denim shorts and a tank top.) They’re incredibly comfortable and lightweight, and they come in about a million colors—neutrals and brights included. They’re so good that I own three pairs and have turned my entire family into fans of them. They’re the perfect sandals to wear with a casual summer outfit, and they’re waterproof, so on top of everything else, they’re pool-day approved.
The Birkenstock Arizona Eva sandals are usually wiped out by this point in the summer, but I think the brand finally got the memo because I found a few places with lots of stock left (including Nordstrom, where they have 2.7K reviews). Scroll to shop the best colors.
