Neutral sandals are closet essentials, especially when transitioning your wardrobe from summer to fall. Today, I am reviewing seven neutral sandals in a variety of styles and shades. For each sandal, I have included information regarding sizing, quality, comfort, and style. For sizing reference, I typically wear a size 8 in sandals and have a medium-width foot.
Several styles included in today’s post are currently on sale, so it’s a great time to add a pair to your wardrobe!

Great post. Neutral sandals are really great for transitioning into fall since the weather is still warm, yet I want to start wearing a darker color palette. I do like the blue color of the Dimitree by Sam Eldelman. They look comfy and blue is one of my favorite colors. 🙂
