It’s the tiny details that will make a massive impact on your wardrobe this summer. With that in mind, here are the best of the best studded sandals.
When it comes to footwear this season it’s of course all about the sandal – pedicures may still be pending but who cares when there are so many amazing pairs to show off. Chunky platforms (especially the flip flop) have been an unlikely favourite so far thanks to The Row’s now iconic style. Then there’s the dad-style walking sandals from the likes of Teva and Prada that are still gaining attention. Joining these are the studded beauties that graced the catwalks once again for spring/summer 2020. The likes of Valentino and Christian Louboutin have been loyal to the chunky pyramid stud for many years (with Valentino putting them back on the catwalk this season) but it’s the more subtle stud that the Stylist fashion team has given the green light.
Isabel Marant has always been a fan of the all-over studded festival-ready pairs, although festivals may be taking a back seat for now, these are still proving to be key.

Alberta Ferretti even bought back the noughties-esque gladiator style (not knee high this time, phew) and they made us fall for them all over again. We’re not the only ones, the street style gang have been showing off chunky sandals with all-over studs. The small detail is back once again to overhaul summer looks with minimal effort.

Luckily, the high street has embraced the stud trend with open arms. Kurt Geiger has dropped a pair of rainbow stud iterations, Dune has updated the espadrille and Next has a pair that’s so comfortable you’ll want to take them out on your daily walks.
It’s time to welcome back the studded sandals – here are 9 of the best styles to shop this season.
