How to choose summer sandals in Australia
Start with where you will wear them. Choose washable one-piece EVA for the beach and pool, a slide or buckled sandal for everyday errands and lunches, and a crossed-strap or wedge sandal for evenings out. Then check the material, the fit and the returns policy.
For the beach and the backyard
Sand, salt and pool water call for something you can rinse. Our Ibiza and Malaga are one-piece EVA and washable, at $49.90 AUD at the time of writing. Read more in what are EVA sandals?
For every day
A slide has no buckles to deal with, so it suits quick trips and hot days. Our Gijon comes in beige or black, and the plain colours go with linen, denim and summer dresses. If you prefer straps you can adjust, our Madrid has two buckles and comes in four colours.
For dinner and going out
Crossed straps and a little height make a sandal look more considered. Our Mallorca has an ankle strap and comes in bronze, rose gold or black. Our Pamplona has a wedge heel.
What to check before you buy
- Materials. Look at the sole, upper and inner. They are listed on each of our product pages.
- Fit. Measure your foot in centimetres and use our EU to Australian size guide.
- Delivery cost. Delivery on ZANETTA orders is free to any Australian address.
- Returns. We offer free change-of-mind returns if you tell us within 7 days of delivery and the pair is unworn in its original packaging.
Do I need more than one pair?
Many people keep two: a washable pair for the beach and a smarter pair for everything else. If you only want one, choose a neutral colour in the shape you reach for most. Our guide to slides, two-strap sandals and clogs can help.
