While the season of warm shining days is on us, it's important to stay on…

What Are Fisherman Sandals?
Fisherman sandals are actually not new and they have been around since the Roman Empire. Fisherman sandals are defined by their cage-like upper and were worn to endure long days of work and walking while being exposed to the elements. Today’s fisherman sandals range from coastal-chic to grungy Y2k aesthetic. They are versatile, stylish, and practical enough to wear for hours. Besides having a timeless look, they are breathable and have comfortable soles.
You can pair it with socks or just wear it with painted toes. There are many different looks to choose from, such as chunky versions in flat form or platform that go well with miniskirts or mid-dresses. If you prefer a more sleek and subtle style, then a graceful sandal with a flat sole will pair well with minimalist maxis or skirts that give the illusion of longer legs.
