Summer is probably the time of year when the range of shoe options is largest. Yes, there's typical flip-flops or embellished sandals, but there are also those days where you may need heels, wellies, boat shoes, or a pedicure to dress up your bare feet. In honor of this variety, The Mannequin is dishing out its most recent top shoe picks for summer.
In the event that you have an internship or a job where you need to look the business part, look no further than Ivanka Trump. Finally someone has come out with heels that aren't sky-high, but that still look good. After all, when you're on your feet all day (coffee-runs or commuting, anyone?) do you really want to be thinking about the searing bloody pain in your feet? I think not. The Indico Leather Low-Heel Pump comes in black leather and its Patent counterpart comes in Washed It Red, Luxe Pink, and Malted Milk. Heel height: 2 3/4 inches.

Looking for something a little more fun and daring? Love feeling like an Amazonian goddess with super-human height (or maybe need a little boost?)? My favorite daring heels of the season are by Halogen and Vince Camuto. The Halogen 'Asher' Wedge is edgy in a very street-chic kind of way. Referencing the sneaker, but with 4 1/2 inches of height (1 1/2 inch platform), this combination of canvas, laces, and rubber-soling is best paired with jeans or pants. I prefer them in Taupe, but they're also offered in Navy.

Color-blocking hasn't died yet and it's particularly well done with Vince Camuto's Venize Chocolate Mousse Heels. The straps are soft leather, the platform is braided rope (the perfect detail), and the colors work surprisingly well with each other. Heel height: 4.2 inches with a .7 inch platform.

If you're not a fan of heels or need a shoe that's good for summer adventures and athleticism, you can't go wrong with Sperrys. After about the first wear/break-in they never cease to be comfortable. My favorite this season is the Women's Angelfish Slip-On Boat Shoe in Pewter metallic Leather. Oh, and they look better in person.
