Summer 2025’s sandal trends truly run the gamut. Gladiator styles of yore have earned steady praise, and the same goes for platform flip-flops. One look that may have flown under your radar, though? Caged sandals. Typically boasting thinner straps than a fisherman silhouette, caged shoes are, well, meant to resemble the look of a cage around the toes, keeping your foot from sliding out. With its functional fit and stylish look, it’s no wonder brands are doubling down on the sandals this season.
One label that’s tapping into the summer sandal trend is Anonymous Copenhagen, founded by Alexander Ziegler Peterson. “They are sophisticated and a bit sexy, which makes them a perfect shoe style for summer,” he tells TZR. Meanwhile, according to Peterson, the silhouette can go from the office to evenings out in one fell swoop. “We have seen customers styling our Carmingho, a caged kitten heel sandal, with work-appropriate outfits like trousers and a tank top or styled for daytime summer parties with a flowy dress,” the founder explains.
And while many caged sandals are rendered in leather, some labels are stepping outside the box. Vince, for instance, released an of-the-moment jelly style, providing a playful take on the summer trend. Alternatively, for something a tad more polished, look to the suede caged sandals over at Madewell. With a calf-length sock, the shoe can easily transition into the chillier months.
If you’re open to splurging on one more summer sandal, a caged silhouette won’t disappoint. Below, find 10 options worth checking out.

As Peterson notes, the Danish label’s Carminho sandals will pair with practically anything in your wardrobe, making them a sound investment.
