These Sandals are a Travel No-Brainer

Welcome to “How Mini?”: the fashion advice blog in which I pull from real conversations with friends asking for my advice on where to find a particular piece, how to style a certain outfit, or what my take is on a red carpet look - and I give an answer. Who knows? You might just be asking the same questions! It isn’t easy being the token stylist friend - but someone’s got to do it! You say skirt I say, “how mini?”

Growing up, Teva sandals were known to me solely (no pun intended) as the crunchy granola mom shoe to beat. I can still hear the loud velcro kkkkrrrriiiissshhh the OG thick strap sandals screamed out every time they were put on.

Thanks to a handful of photographs of fashion icon Mary-Kate Olsen rocking the all-black version of their Voya Infinity sandals about two years ago, Teva’s reputation has since begun to rebrand as a fashionable option for warmer seasons. I own the Olsen-twin-approved pair myself and I must say they are the most comfortable, durable, and versatile sandals I have ever owned- and at an incredibly friendly price point.

As per the featured text exchange, I’ve recently influenced a co-worker to get a pair after donning mine in the office, and she and the sandals are fast friends. She’s even planning to wear them on her trip to Europe this summer. After all, the Teva website calls them their “#1 Travel Sandal” for good reason. They are lightweight, packable, and—worth saying twice: so comfortable.

This “pearl” blue pair is next on my list. “If I like it, I’ll just grab it in a different color!”
