We just can’t resist a good throw-back trend — and not many decades reigns supreme like the 1990s. Meet the reimaged square-toe sandal toping the summer 2020 trend list. Don’t worry; we aren’t seeing them done as literally as other ’90s trends. Let’s pause and pay our respects to fallen ’90’s classics, like faux tattoo chokers. Square-toe sandals have made their resurgence in a fresh, modern way with an undeniable cool factor. Trust us; if you don’t have a square-toe sandal in your closet for the summer, it’s time to invest. Keep scrolling to find your new favorite, from heeled to flat.
Flat Sandals

For the best flat, square-toe sandals, look no further than the Isaac style. It’s a simple shoe with a trend-forward texture that will go with everything in your wardrobe. Go ahead and add them to your cart, because these will quickly become your go-to all-summer shoe.
