Merrell Shoes For Women Pink

Informal Summer Work Shoes For Women

While most jobs won't allow you to wear flip-flops, there are many casual work shoes that are ideal for the warmer months. Here are ten informal summer work shoes for women.

Keds

Keds have made a lot of improvements since the basic white tennis shoe. In fact, Nanette Lepore has teamed up with Keds to make a line of fashionable shoes that are comfortable too. I loved and owned the Nanette "barefoot" shoe. I say loved because I wore them so many times they stunk. Essentially, these are called skimmers but the velvet outside and contrast gold piping make these fancy. Choose from sizes 5.5 to 10 at zappos.com. They cost $65.00.

Flower

The Eliza Flower flat is on my Wish list for this coming summer. This soft jersey shoe is lightweight and perfect for sticky days. In addition, it is flexible and has an adorable flower on the toe.

DKNY

The DKNY Active Women's Hover is an informal sandal kicked up a notch with faux patent leather. The shiny exterior makes these perfect for work. A sturdy hook and loop closure keep these shoes in place. The wedge heel has a logo graphic to show off your style. Get these in black or pink patent for $49.00 at shoes.com.
