Technically speaking, summer doesn’t kick off until late June—but if you’re anything like us, you’ve been daydreaming about backyard barbecues, poolside hangs, and beach activities for weeks already. And, depending on where you live, it may already be warm enough outside to warrant digging out your summer travel wardrobe early. With mere weeks remaining before summer travel season starts, now’s the time to take inventory of your closet.
If your footwear rotation is seriously lacking reliable, comfy sandals, we’ve got good news for you: Nordstrom Rack just dropped thousands (yes, thousands) of new deals on men’s and women’s summer sandals. The best part? They’re all under $50, freeing up your budget for other summer essentials, like a new linen travel dress or a new supportive swimsuit. To save you time, we collected the 50 top deals we could find, including Crocs platform slides, Teva hiking sandals, and more, up to 81 percent off.
