Sun, Summer, and Shoes in Italy by Priyanka Arora

Italian fashion is evolving nonstop, and beach shoes are not about to be left behind. Before, only flip-flops and Birkenstock’s were the only choices you had. While these are shoes that can be used any old time, this is a time for the beach, and a lot of people will be seeing you strut your stuff. Better compliment your beautiful swimsuit with equally beautiful, not to mention durable, footwear.

Netted athletic shoes are ideal for running and walking on the sand. They are durable and they do not tear easily. For divers, a pair of jelly shoes is an excellent choice. It can protect your feet if you accidentally step on a hapless sea urchin or crab. These are not only durable and practical, they are fashionable as well.

Shoes can say a lot about your personality. If you wear any old pair of flip-flops on the beach, it can indicate that you’re not very concerned about how your feet look. You can buy flip-flops that have embellishments to set them apart from your old ones. Birkenstock’s indicate that the wearer is practical because he or she cares more for quality and comfort than fashion trends. However, be careful in selecting your Birks. Some varieties will be easily damaged by seawater and sand.

Beach shoes should also be selected according to the activities that you will do on the beach. If you’re going to play volleyball or Frisbee or even tag, a nice pair of running shoes made especially for the beach will be ideal. For those concerned with fashion trends, beach shoes are also made according to what color and print is popular for the summer. If you just want to take a stroll on the beach and is not too concerned about shoes, Birkenstock’s is the way to go. If you don’t have time or budget to go for beach shoe-shopping, flip-flops will do. After all, there is a great likelihood that most people on the beach will be wearing flip-flops anyway.
