Finding the right nude strappy sandals or strappy nude sandals for Spring and Summer can be a bit of a mission, between the shade, the comfort, and a strap placement that doesn’t dig in.

If you want women’s nude sandals that don’t sacrifice comfort for style, this list has you covered across every price point.

If you want nude strappy high heels for a special occasion like a wedding, keep scrolling for some genuinely elegant options.

What are the best nude heels under $100
If you’re looking for an affordable pair of tan heels under $100, there are lots of brands to choose from:
- Steve Madden
- Lulus
- Chinese Laundry
- Nine West
- Superdown
- ASOS
- Raye
- Shutz
The gorgeous Steve Madden open toe, high heel beige and neutral strappy sandals (pictured above and below) I was wearing for the last few years are sold out.
So since I had to find a replacement I wanted to share my best finds with you. As they make great wedding guest or baby shower sandals. Alexandre Birman does a similar style with a super cute bow detail if you want something similar to the ones I’m replacing. It makes them a bit unique and they also come in a few different colors.
These are one of the pairs of women’s nude sandals that I replaced them with. If you’re looking for the best comfortable nude heels, I find these pyramid heels super comfortable. The footbed is padded and the pyramid shape heel means I can walk on grass without sinking it or airing it for them!
What are the best designer nude strappy heel sandals
If you’re looking for the best designer nude heel sandals, the Christian Louboutin stiletto open toe sandal is hard to beat as it comes in 3 shades of nude and has a slight platform. Other designer shoe brands that make stunning women’s nude heel sandals include:
- Chanel for their iconic CC details.
- Jimmy Choo for beautiful delicate styles.
- Tom Ford’s edgy padlock heels.
- Christian Louboutin’s instantly recognizable red soles.
- Saint Laurent for structural heels and platforms.
- Sarah Flint and Margaux for the best comfortable nude heels.
I ended up with Sarah Flint’s Perfect Sandal which is known for it’s comfort and superior construction. They’re made in Italy and a lot more comfortable than a lot of other nude strappy high heels as they have arch support and a padded footbed. They have a couple of different color nude sandals to choose from. These are the darker color sand calf leather.
They come in a few different shades and heel heights but I’m a fan of the 100mm. I find this style in leather runs true to size and the ankle strap gives more support.
What makes good women’s nude strappy sandals
Finding the best nude strappy sandals can be hard as they’re not always the most comfortable or supportive. The reason it was a hunt to find the perfect nude strappy sandals and heels was that I had a specific search criteria:
- A strap across the toes that wouldn’t cut in. If they’re too narrow or tight they dig in.
- No clear cut outs or straps. If you’ve worn clear sandals or pumps in hot places you know the issue! Steamed up shoes are not cute, plus they’re out of style.
- No blacks. I love black heels for Winter but for Summer I prefer lighter colors and also nude strappy sandals make your legs look longer.
- Open toe styles rather than closed toe as I have enough pumps.
So it turns out I’m a bit like Goldie Locks when it comes to shoes, minus stealing someone else’s! It took me a long time to find a comfortable, classic style.
