Style writer Ambar Pardilla is rather obsessive (and opinionated) about what makes for a great sandal. So, she tracked down 30 very nice pairs here. You’ll find some Strategist favorites, including Marni-esque Sorels and the Tevas an Olsen twin owns, along with plenty of new pairs recommended by those with particularly good taste. Of note: Catbird founder Rony Vardi’s favorite J.Crew slides and the Keen sandals that senior editor Winnie Yang wears everywhere. Pardilla adds, “It’s all about jellies and clean lines this year.”
