Hello from Italy! I’m here with the Sarah Flint team to visit the family-owned factories where Sarah’s beautiful shoes are made by hand, and capture the production process on camera. It has been a big reminder of just how special these shoes really are, created with the same exquisite materials and in the same workshops as luxury’s top labels, but at a much better price. If a pair or two have been on your summer wishlist, you will be happy to learn the Sarah Flint sample sale just went live and it’s the perfect time to scoop up warm weather styles at the best prices I’ve ever seen! I’ve rounded up six of my favorites I own and love below to get you started. Happy shopping!
The Perfect Block Sandal
The perfect block sandal is a wardrobe workhorse especially in the warmer months. While it comes in three heel heights (30mm, 60 mm, and 90mm) I particularly love the 60 mm heel version which I own in maaaaaany colors. (Yes I own it in gold, white, black suede, chocolate crocodile and navy croc (discontinued)! This sandal has a comfortable wear-all-day heel which is perfect for all your spring and summer events, from backyard BBQs to graduations, date night to black tie weddings. (The heel is thick enough so you can walk through grass without sinking in. I promise it will be your go-to especially for outdoor events! You can stand all day and dance all night in these fabulous heels. If you’re on vacation and trying to pack light, these shoes will go with all of your dressier looks as the photos above demonstrate. I’ve worn these heels from Harbour Island, to Italy to New Hampshire! The simple lines complement almost any dress and I’ve found that the gold is the most versatile color followed closely by the white for summer outfits. The perfect block heel run true to size and are soooooo good (and such an amazing price right now) you will want one in every color!
The Perfect CrissCross Sandal
These beautiful sandals were a favorite last summer. Available in cognac or black the crisscross style is substantial enough to look great with jeans or a sundress and the straps hold your foot well despite the mule silhouette. I’d recommend sizing up 1/2 a size, or if you have a high arch like me you’ll appreciate sizing up one whole size.
The Grear Sandal
From maxi dresses to white cropped jeans and everything in between the Grear sandal (currently on sale for $129!) is the perfect summer shoe. I walk A LOT when traveling, often clocking 5-8 miles a day and these sandals are up to the task. Comfy, versatile, and easy to pack, they’re a must-have summer shoe. I love the full leather sole, which didn’t get destroyed at the toe (even over three weeks of heavy use on cobblestone streets) which is often a problem with other sandals. I really like how they look peeking out from beneath the hem of a maxidress as you can see above, such an easy, effortless shoe! (Fits true to size.)
The Mirjana Flat
I’ve been a fan of the original Mirjana flat (on sale for $99!) ever since I had a pair of Mirjana flats (seen above) made before my own eyes in Italy a few summer ago. Pair with everything from jeans to shorts to sundresses to a swimsuit and pareo. They’re perfect for pool days or dinners out on a summer night! As with most slides, I would recommend going up half a size.
Sacchetto Ballet Flat
This elegant flat (on sale for under $130!) is perfect for running around whether you’re at the office or museum hopping on a Saturday, and the cap toe and button detail give it a little something extra making them feel special even with a tee shirt and jeans. The slightly squared toe is so flattering and fresh, they’re easily a 4 season shoe, complementing all-white looks throughout spring and summer. I have them in espresso suede, black and navy – all on sale for under $150! Fits true to size and perhaps the most comfortable Sf shoe you’ll ever buy
The Mirjana Wedge
The Mirjana wedge (currently on sale in a pretty pale pink!) is even more comfortable than the original slide. Before trying these wedges I thought platforms just weren’t for me. I’m 5’9″ and in most heels I’m 6′ and always thought platforms just felt so clunky in contrast to their stiletto equivalent, but leave it to Sarah Flint to create the most elegant platform of all time. Consider me a convert! (I found these true to size!)
Please tell us who makes the crochet dress at the top of your post. Thank u

Hi Lara! It’s about 4-5 years old from Zimmermann – here is the link for more info on it incase you want to hunt it down! xx Stacie
If Sarah Flint could offer your sandal with an option of a longer strap for those of use with big ankles, she would truly ne unique among luxury shoe designers.

Thats great feedback – just passed along to Sarah! xx
Hi Stacie,
I think I’ll need a special closet just for Sarah Flint after this! I’ve always been a fan and have built quite a collection, but these prices cannot be missed. This marriage of comfort and style? Heavenly perfection!
