Women's walking sandals have been having a major fashion moment these last few years, and we absolutely love 'em. Who doesn't want a chic, summery sandal that you can wear all day long, without any pesky blisters or uncomfortable rubbing?

And it turns out performance footwear is actually verrry stylish. Household brands like Teva, Birkenstock and Columbia have been providing us with functional outdoor shoes for so many years, and they've had hikers and fashionistas both equally hooked. Even designers have now jumped on board, too. We reckon the appeal comes down to the mix of cool, utilitarian features, like multi-straps and chunky outsoles, along with all-day wearability.

So if you're looking for a cool new pair of sandals this summer, let us introduce to you the walking styles that will have you trek-ready, or at least take you from all day spent at the beach to an evening at the pub. Scroll to see an editor's top picks of the best walking sandals for women...
