6. Merisa Platform Sandals by Call it Spring

In contrast to all the glam and glitter this season, chunky platform wedges are also making waves—and for good reason. They are neutral enough to be worn everyday, and add a little bit of an edge to your outfit. The Merisa Sandal by Call it Spring is one of our favourites because it is made with 30 percent post-consumer waste (i.e. recycled mattresses) and is completely vegan. Talk about sustainable and cute!

Versatile, durable and fully waterproof, they are available in this gorgeous mauve, or eight other pretty and practical shades

Comfort and quality are key when selecting footwear, and these lightweight sandals by UGG will not let you down.
