Women Are Swapping Their Boring Water For This Ice Pop Electrolyte Mix!

My husband was cleaning out our laundry room yesterday (husband goals IYKYK), and casually asked whether I was still wearing boots or if he could move them into storage upstairs.

I looked at him and said: absolutely not. At least where I live, summer is officially in its cute little flats and open-toed sandal era.

Of course, the second I said that out loud, I also realized my own summer shoe collection could probably use a refresh. Because as much as I love my trusty go-to pairs, there’s something about warm weather—and open-toed season!—that makes me want at least one or two fun new shoes to show off.

If you’re feeling the same way, this is your sign to start browsing Nordstrom’s sale section immediately. Right now, the retailer has so many chic summer shoes on sale, including pretty Mary Jane flats, wedge sandals, and stylish slingback pumps that make getting dressed way more fun. Psst: Also, go ahead and book that pedicure while you’re at it…

Ahead, shop some of our favorite summer shoes currently on sale at Nordstrom!

Dolce Vita Baylee Grommet Mary Jane Flat ($52)

Baylee Grommet Mary Jane Flat by Dolce Vita

Mary Jane flats are having a moment right now, and this Dolce Vita pair is like the cool girl version of the trend. The gold grommets and chunky buckles give the classic ballet flat silhouette a little extra edge, which makes them feel especially fun for summer. And at 60% off right now?! PUH-lease.

Franco Sarto Tinsley Square Toe Mary Jane Flat ($75 – $125)

Tinsley Square Toe Mary Jane Flat by Franco Sarto

True story: I worked with a girl a couple years ago who had a thing for square-toed Mary Janes, and I always thought her style was so on point. This Franco Sarto pair reminds me of her—they feel very fashion-forward without trying too hard, and the glossy patent finish makes them look especially elevated.

Best of all, these flats balance style with actual comfort. Between the cushy padding and adjustable strap, they’re shoes you can realistically wear all day long.

Lands’ End Classic Raffia Mary Jane Flats ($76.97)

Classic Raffia Mary Jane Flats from Lands' End

I’ve had a soft spot for Lands’ End forever because their pieces are always so well made and classic in that “you’ll still be wearing them years from now” way. These raffia Mary Janes are majorly discounted and feel like a really fun summer update for the brand—they have a slightly Parisian vibe that makes even a simple outfit feel more styled.

The raffia texture also makes them a great fit for summertime and upcoming vacation plans. Just picture yourself wearing these with a sundress, wandering somewhere by the water on a sunny afternoon!

Steve Madden Robyn Pointed Toe Slingback Pump ($64.40 – $65.40)

Robyn Pointed Toe Slingback Pump by Steve Madden

I die for these shoes. Truly, this Steve Madden slingback is giving peak “Devil Wears Prada” energy in the best way.

The pointed toe and flared block heel make the silhouette feel so sleek and intentional, and that buttery nubuck finish adds to the overall, expensive-looking vibe. Scoop them up now for 40% off and expect compliments the second you slip them on!

Dune London Kalia Wedge Sandal ($50 – $135)

Kalia Wedge Sandal from Dune London

Need a really great open-toed shoe for your upcoming vacation? At up to 60% off, these wedge sandals are your girl.

The wedge heel is comfy and casual, but the crystal-embellished straps make it feel a little more dressed up. Slip these on for a poolside lunch, then keep them on for dinner somewhere breezy and beautiful—they strike that nice balance between relaxed and a little bit glam.

Nina Klara Slingback Pump ($59.40)

Klara Slingback Pump by Nina

Hello glitz ’n glam! This Nina slingback is pretty much what I imagine wearing to every fun and dressy occasion this season.

The jewel embellishments and delicate lace upper are unique without tipping into anything too precious or hard to wear. And with the lightly padded footbed, you’ll actually stay comfy while still fully committing to the sparkle moment. They’re an easy ‘yes’ for nearly half off right now.

Now, head to Nordstrom to shop these styles before the sale ends!
