Sandals are the first choice in shoe fashion where I live in California. Wedges are EVERYWHERE!
I love mine and have several pairs to choose from. But… I always need more!
At a recent Wine and Chocolate Stroll in fashionable downtown Danville, women were out in their cute wedges for some guaranteed night fun. I had on my preferred heels, but what I saw, I loved!
I normally choose my colorful wedges for day-wear, however I think I’ll pull out a pair the next time I’m out at night as well!
Here’s to finding the versatile wedge!
My Picks:
Chinese Laundry
Lucky Brand
Naughty Monkey at Zappos
Seychelles
and my absolute favorite
Cesare Paciotti
Of course I’d wear those Cesare Paciotti’s anywhere! But for the casual fun in my downtown, I’d have to choose Naughty Monkey for their flare.

There are some nice selections out for spring and summer wear. Now that the West Coast heat wave is hitting early, I’m having fun sporting my sandals every day.
On a recent trip down the coast, I had the opportunity to view many who tread the path of cool California footwear.
The ones that got an immediate red flag… Crocs.
In very recent years, I have seen less and less of these brightly-colored clown shoes where I live. But they keep showing up!
Parents, C’mon! Have a little taste! Unlike the sizes suggest, in my opinion they are NOT for the entire family. At least not in public!
Save your dollars for a cooler pair of summer shoes.
I came across Amphibian shoes years ago and I still like them just the same! They are my first choice for beach, hiking, trips to Disneyland and the like.
Try this tasteful alternative that supports comfort, in any active setting.
My Picks:
Salomon Techamphibian 3
for him
The NorthFace Hedgefrog 2
for her

Love your toes?
She won’t!
Men have hotter views to show us, of the fairer sex, than their feet. To put it plainly, narly toes sporting flip-flops are NOT OK!
The large population of men who wear them, don them for the cooling effect rather than fashion.
So try this alternative that is catching on in hot waves… Espadrilles! They are the best of both worlds. We don’t see your toes and you keep cool while looking HOT at the same time!
Made to conform to your foot, the canvas and rope sole espadrille breathes and allows for comfort on hot days.
Tip: With these classics, sizing down is a good thing. The canvas will stretch and fit your shape perfectly.
My Picks:
Soludos
Tom’s
Drilleys
Save your flip-flops for the beach or pool and wear Espadrilles instead for bumming around.
