Summer footwear trends shift toward slimmer styles

Fashion observers note a move away from sandals toward minimalist shoes this season.

Writers highlight a growing preference for pared-down options like canvas sneakers and ballet flats as temperatures rise. Brands such as Superga, Bensimon and Asahi gain attention for their simple designs available in multiple colors. Technical footwear including adidas AdiZero models also enters everyday use alongside classic styles from Clarks and Lemaire.
