This fun new style from Feud is a playful take on the clog style that we're just loving for the spring and summer season. Giving a cheeky nod to the nautical look, with stripes and a large bow, they'll be perfect for wearing with cropped trousers, culottes and flouncy skirts.
They've also got that unmistakable marker of a summer shoe: wooden soles! Can you tell we're sick of the snow yet?
Ted Baker always seems to get the balance between pretty femininity and contemporary simplicity spot on, and these crossover sandals over at ASOS are a great example. The fuzzy peach suede panel on the back and vibrant interior colouring adds a note of fun, while the high-shine logo on the side adds glamour.
Minimalism is a real plus in summer footwear, and these sandals would certainly ensure a cooling breeze around the feet, I'd love to wear these with a long, floppy skirt with a golden tan and fluorescent coral nail polish on a warm and sunny day.

Chie Mihara's styles are always fresh, but never more than at this time of year when the spring and summer styles come out to play. It's hard to pick out one new design to represent the lot, but this one caught my eye in particular, as I love the softness of the leather and the prettiness of the cut-out style. Its simplicity makes it ideal for everyday summer wear, garden parties or weddings, making it an ideal seasonal buy.

Going to any weddings this summer? If not, I can absolutely guarantee you'll be pleased with your former, January self for buying these eyecatching neutral sandals by coast, for a fraction of their original cost.
This is a bit of a 'classic with a twist' style, taking a standard fan detail and blowing it up huge. There's a definite twenties theme going on here, so I can also see these going down a storm at decadent, dressed-up garden parties. Rather!

These patent and suede mules by Parisi have been reduced in price by 50%. Can't imagine why...I mean, who wouldn't want to step out in footwear like this?
Sarcasm aside, this is most definitely a daring pair of shoes, with some features that will definitely attract a second look. The heel in itself isn't a bad shape, and its curly red form is pleasantly Tim Burton-esque. But I think it's the clear toe strap and the overall flimsiness of the sole that casts this style almost - thought not quite - in ugly shoe territory.

Sure, you're not going to be able to have the pleasure of strutting around in these sizeable platforms for, oh, a good few months yet, but the stylish tend to plan ahead, and these sandals will absolutely be in style once the layers start coming off this summer.
The neutral shades will make for easy peasy matching, and the basic, gladiator-lite style is a summer staple. Best of all these shoes have been reduced from a lofty £125 to just £30, so while you'll have to save your gloating for the warmer months, it'll be a pleasure well worth the wait!

Gladiators are bound to be huge once again in the summer, but I really like the way that DVF has designed these sandals to be a little different. As a designer, she's great at giving classic styles a twist, and the addition of a 'love knot' decoration here is just genius - particularly the way it's been so well integrated into the design.
The sculpted, sloping platform and heel make these shoes look like they'd be fairly comfortable - perfect for romantic strolls along the seafront. Ideal footwear for those planning a Valentine's getaway!
