With summer quickly approaching, it's time to head to salon for a pedicure and strap on a pretty new pair of summer sandals! Nothing says SUMMER like brightly painted toes and cute new shoes, right? Of course you don't want to cover that pretty toenail polish up with boring old shoes, so a new pair of sandals are in order!
The only problem is that there are so many new styles coming out each year, it can be a chore to figure out which style is right for you. I would love to just spend every day on the beach from June until school begins in August, throwing a pair of simple flip flops into my tote bag. But that just doesn't cut it! More often than not, we find ourselves having to buy a few different pairs of sandals at the beginning of each summer for the different activities we will be doing. Shoe shopping can seem a daunting task, but with the enormous selection of sandals available on eBay.com, you can sit down and browse through flip flops, gladiator sandals and wedges in the latest fashions for less! It's much more fun to go shoe shopping when the prices are low and the selection is wide!

We all see those pretty three inch wedges and think that we will wear them every day, all summer long. Those three inches look great when we put them on, but by the end of the second day you will realize...walking in heels is no fun!
Be realistic when you go shopping for sandals! No one wants to have tired, achy feet by the end of the day...no matter how great they look! If you aren't used to walking in heels, stick to flats for your vacation and have nice, comfortable feet at the end of your day.

We all pack our clothes based on our destination. If you are vacationing on a sandy beach somewhere, you will likely pack bathing suits, sundresses and cover ups. The shoes in your suitcase should be no different - they should be appropriate for what you're doing. If you plan on hitting the theme parks this summer, skip the flimsy flip flops and invest in a great pair of comfort sandals with cushioning and arch support.
If you plan on seeing the sites in a big city, pack those strappy sandals for day and cute wedges for your big nights out on the town. Likewise, if you are spending your days poolside, go ahead and get those new sparkly flip flops!

Aside from choosing the right height for your sandals and making sure that they're going to be comfortable for what you're doing, keep your basic sense of style in mind when buying new sandals this summer. If you don't normally wear gladiator sandals, as nice as they might look, you probably won't be putting them on every day. If you aren't a fan of rhinestones, stay away from sandals with too much bling. However, make sure that you are having fun with your sandal selection - it never hurts to try new things, and with the low prices available on eBay.com, you can afford to try a new style without having serious buyer's remorse!
I know that I said to stick to your usual style...but that doesn't mean that you can't also buy a pair of fun new shoes that you've never tried before! Just make sure that you buy them in advance of any trips you are taking and that you wear them in before traveling with them.
I love wedges for summer because they're sandals but you can easily dress up an otherwise casual outfit with them! Wedges are a great alternative to flat sandals because they are usually made in a platform style so that the real heel height isn't quite so high. I have a hard time walking in heels but I always manage just fine in wedges.
The key to trying new styles of shoes and sandals is that you give yourself a chance to wear them in. If you do buy a new pair of sandals and find that they don't fit right or are hard to walk in, chances are that walking around in them for a day or two around the house will make them much more comfortable. If they feel like they're too tight, try wearing a thin pair of socks with them to help stretch them out.
