Ask a fashion insider to name the "it" shoe of summer 2022, and you might expect a name-check for Versace's towering satin sandals or a Y2k-esque platform flip-flop. But the shoe we're actually most excited to wear is a little less glamorous, if far more versatile: the fisherman sandal.
Fisherman sandals made their way back into the conversation via summer collections from Prada, Max Mara, and Celine, among others. They have a classic bent with basket-woven uppers in neutral tones, remixed by designers with heavy-duty rubber or platform soles (or both, in Prada's case). Their appeal starts with their wearability: Most fisherman sandals are cushioned and flat, and lined leather straps you could walk miles in—but only if you really wanted put them to the test.
