Moda Spana Barkley Sandal

Jennifer W. from Florida selected the Moda Spana Barkley Sandal, which is very similar to a pair of shoes I recently purchased myself! The t-strap look is huge right now when it comes to summer footwear.  I’ve been seeing a lot of embellishments added to this trend, and this style is no exception.  I really like the extra style boost provided by the basic black texture on this.  It keeps the sandal interesting while staying simple enough to allow the shoe to be extremely versatile.  This sandal will look great with a cute pair of jeans, a swimsuit or a flirty summer dress.

Original Dr. Scholl's Premier Sandal

Karen W. from Virginia chose the Original Dr. Scholl’s Premier Sandal for her prize.  This sandal adds a sexy twist with a 3 ½ inch heel.  The thicker heel and platform should really help to keep this shoe comfortable, even with the added height.  It doesn’t hurt that Dr. Scholl’s has a reputation for and commitment to comfort as well!  The medallion on the front of this shoe adds a nice touch.  This is another shoe that should work well with many different outfits and styles – I’m especially drawn to this sandal as a compliment to a pair of jean capris and a fun top.  Maybe perfect for a girl’s night on the town?

Clarks Lucena Sandal

Erica B. from Michigan added the Clarks Lucena Sandal to her shoe collection through our contest.  The description for this shoe includes the phrase ‘An oasis of pure comfort awaits you in this plush casual.’ It looks like our customers agree with this – the shoe has been rated a perfect 5 on our site with the majority of reviews raving about how comfortable it is!  The style and color really make this a shoe with staying power.  It is a classic sandal style that I don’t see going out of favor anytime soon!   

Merrell Siren Ginger Sandal

Our last winning sandal from week four went to Penny S. from Michigan.  She picked out the Merrell Siren Ginger Sandal.  This style is selling quickly, so if you’re interested in it for yourself, I suggest taking a look soon!  This shoe would be a good choice for anyone with an active lifestyle.  It would really hold up well transitioning from a casual, everyday shoe to a go-to choice for any outdoor summer activity – even in the water!

Once again, congratulations to our winners!  We’ll be posting our last round of winning sandals soon!

ShoeMall Summer Sandal Winners – A Parade of Women’s Sandals

Teva Ventura Sandal

Our week one winner, Pamela M. from Oregon, kicked things off by selecting the Teva Ventura Sandal. Flip flops are definitely my casual sandal of choice. These are great because they will go great with virtually any color. Plus, the brown leather makes it easy to dress this pair up or down, depending on your mood or agenda.  If you’re going to get a free pair of sandals, it doesn’t hurt to find one you can wear all the time! 

Nicole Pleasant Sandal

Week two brought about two very different sandal choices. Jennifer P. from Indiana chose the Nicole Pleasant Sandal. Again, this shoe is very versatile. A neutral color coupled with leather straps is super easy to adapt to different outfits. Plus, the platform on this shoe can really help you gain some height while not having to sacrifice comfort. The backstrap should also help to provide you with more stability – a plus when wearing a higher heel. 

Teva Omnium Sandal

Our second winner selected a more athletic, outdoor sandal. Cynthia S. from Pennsylvania picked out the Teva Omnium Sandal. This shoe would be great for days when you’re on your feet a lot. I also think they would be a stylish choice for outdoor activities that might involve getting your feet wet. They are much cuter than some other water-safe shoes out there – I really like the lime green accents! On a more practical note, they would also help to protect your feet from sharp rocks and other water hazards. 

David Tate Rosette Sandal

Week three saw another three winners selected. Again, the styles each one chose were very different. Rea P. from Pennsylvania definitely had dress sandals in mind! She selected the David Tate Rosette Sandal. This shoe is a classic. With the low heel and understated and elegant jewel, Rea should be able to get a lot of use out of this choice. I can’t imagine it going out of style anytime soon.

Original Dr. Scholl's® Crown
