Nothing hits the spring/summer fashion spot quite like a pair of slides that go with everything. And no, we're not talking about rubber rectangles to trot off to the pool in.

We mean a sophisticated sandal, an open-toe or backless slip on that perfectly bridges the gap between warm weather comfort shoe and all-round dapper footwear, like by Dr. Martens.

"Dr. Martens?", you now wonder aloud. "As in the boots?". Yes, actually. If you thought of them as mere go-tos for fall and winter, then wait until you see what they did with their revamped, sunshine-ready Fishermans from the 90s, among others – signature bouncy soles and yellow stitchings included.

A simplistic quasi-clog in shiny black leather to merge the office- with the temperature-appropriate.

This model takes the roman sandal silhouette and infuses it with notes of 90s grunge, for creeper-soled summer shoes fit for serious and casual occasions.

This black pair leans even heavier on the aforementioned influences, successfully so.

This is probably the freest your feet'll be in Docs. They're like an edgy, rebellious cousin of your average buckle slide.

A similar though more conservative choice'd be these sandals, to feel reminded of the beach – or walk it up and down in.

Or how about these these sandy mules, in a light tone of beige, with a strap in the back for extra hold?

A somehow more Western take on the slingback mule comes in shape of the Jorge style; a cognac-colored sandal to cross canyons or concrete in.
