Summer's not over just yet!

I honestly don't care what the calendar says—summer isn't over just yet! Besides, it's still hot as hell outside and I'm not ready to bring out my fall wardrobe until I'm literally forced to. We still have until September 23rd, if you're wondering when autumn will come to kill all of our hot girl dreams. Anyway, if you're like me, and you're making the most out of these last few weeks, I don't blame you. I'm living my best life, soaking in every last bit of the sun, and I'm still doin' some summer shopping. In my research (yes, it's research), I've discovered some reaaaally versatile summer sandals that can translate really well into the fall.

I'll be the first to say that I am in denial about endless sunny vibes but indulge with me, won't you? I'm pretty sure you're in need of a new pair of sandals (let's face it— a new pair of shoes can always come in handy) so I've rounded up 20 of the best beach sandals that'll take you from the sand to the office. Whether you're all about the strappy shoe, the chic puffy sandal, square-toe aesthetic, or you're here for a classic flip flop, I've rounded up a shoe for everyone.

If you're shy, then shop now and just save until next season. But if you wanna be bold and unashamed, I dare you to wear these well into mid-September. Trust me, I'll be with ya with these picks that we'll be able to hold onto all year long :). Oh, and if you're still dreaming of the good ol' dog days, check out these beach and summer outfits, platform sandals, and shoes that'll keep ya comfy and supported while you're at it!

These slides will look good whether you're wearing a bathing suit or jeans and a tee.

Everyone needs a pair of flip flops—and these celeb faves are a necessity! Plus, they're hella comfy and come in more colors!

Rave Review: "TKEES Liners have been my go to summer shoe for many years now! I almost don't want to spread the word...the flip flop is effortlessly chic and goes easily from beach to city sidewalk to party with any number of different outfits...it never goes out of style!"

We love these bright orange pool slides, they'll make any outfit so much cuter.

Rave Review: "Love these! Wow could not be happier. 10/10. This is an amazing product! It's so comfortable and light on your feet. I couldn't ask for a better slide in shoe."

Ah, good ol' Birks! If you want to wear the comfiest shoe ever, here's your answer.

This pair has over 2000 5-star reviews for good reason. These thicker-strap sandals are so lightweight and mold to your foot, makin' ya feel like you're walking on a cloud.

Rave Review: Wear all day, everyday! This is the ONLY shoe I've worn for the past 3 summers. I have expensive sandals but I always go for these! They are my favorite! They may feel a bit tight at first but they stretch out quite a bit over time.

These ultra cushiony sandals come in just about every color, you'll want one of each, fr!

Rave Review: "These shoes are literally the best decision I have ever made! The memory foam is everything… so comfortable! I’m ordering a second pair right now!"

If you need a sandal to get your steps in, you'll definitely want a pair of Tevas.

Espadrilles are the sandal of summer. This cool pair from Off-White will go with any outfit.

Rave Review: "These shoes are even cuter in person! They are true to size, look so good on the feet, and seem really comfortable. I can’t wait to wear these."

The gold hardware on this simple, white Tory Burch sandal makes 'em perfect for Sunday brunch.

Rave Review: "Not only do these sandals look STUNNING, they are extremely comfortable as well. I paired them with an all white outfit and trust, they paired so well. I received compliments all night!"

Don't sleep on Crocs! Really!

Rave Review: First, I want to say I LOVE this style! Very comfy, love the extra thick height—which are very easy and sturdy for me to walk in—and they look really cute on! I have a pinched nerve and have toe numbness in one foot, and I've had less numbness while wearing these vs sneakers. Living in Florida, I NEED these, because I find myself caught in flooded parking lots frequently during afternoon storms. I can trudge through any puddle and know these will be dry quickly, and still look great! And I love my little Butterfly Jibbitz too! I'd love to get the lilac color!

This strappy sandal is minimal, yet bold with its two-tone color blocking.

Fisherman sandals are so in—you'll want to get your hands on a pair in this pretty blue hue.

Rave Review: "I love these—they have nice support and slip on easily. I wore them to Taylor Swift with no issues. I’m a 6.5 wide and the 6 M was perfect."

You can't go wrong with a hot pink flip flop.

These sleek slides will mold to your feet, making them so beyond cozy.

Rave Review: "Super comfy. If you have wide feet, this fits perfectly. Soft sole and the strap is padded to avoid blisters. Very satisfied with this purchase! I can actually take walks in these. Also, dressy enough for a casual night out.

These chic, strappy flats are definitely work approved.

These hot pink sandals are giving Barbiecore in the best way possible.

These minimalistic slides are so versatile, you'll be able to dress them up or down.

Classic flip flop, but make it fun by going for a lime green.

These raffia slides were made to be worn on vacay...so where are we goin'?

Whether you're on the beach or commuting to the office—this sandal is a year round shoe.

Rave Review: "Sorel does it again! So comfy and look great. Great quality. Can’t say enough good things. I get comments every time I wear them. I liked them so much I bought the orange ones too!"
