Women's sandals and water shoes are a classic way to finish an outfit with an open, laid-back feel. This assortment includes sandals, flip-flops, slides, and water shoes from L.L.Bean and select brands, with a range of open- and closed-toe silhouettes.
To narrow down your choice, start with the shape you prefer. Flip-flops and slides offer slip-on styling, while sandals can feature one or more straps across the foot. Water shoes are a shoe-like alternative when you want more coverage than a sandal.
For the best fit, check the size chart and any Size & Fit notes on the individual product page. Your heel should sit fully on the footbed and your toes should not hang over the front edge. If a style includes adjustable straps or buckles, use them to fine-tune how it fits.
A: They should fit with your heel centered on the footbed and your toes fully on it, without overhang. Use any adjustable straps or buckles (when offered) and review the product page's Size & Fit notes for that style.
Q: What is the difference between sandals, flip-flops, and slides?
A: Flip-flops use a thong-style strap, while slides are a slip-on design with a band across the top of the foot. Sandals is a broader category that can include multiple strap layouts, open-toe and closed-toe silhouettes, and a range of closures.
Q: What makes a women's water shoe different from a sandal?

Q: Do women's sandals and water shoes come in different widths?
A: Width availability varies by style. Look for width options and any fit notes on the individual product page before choosing your usual size.
Q: How do I care for sandals or water shoes?
A: Follow the care instructions listed on the product page and on the item itself. Let them dry fully before storing, and keep buckles or straps closed as directed to help maintain shape.
