Summer is finally here, and that means one thing: dresses, dresses, dresses! From breezy linen numbers to flowy florals, summer dresses are the ultimate warm-weather staple. But it always brings the same question – which shoes should you wear with a summer dress? Obviously, you’d prefer shoes you can actually walk in. In short: Wolky shoes! Let’s match those sundresses with the perfect pair of Wolky’s…
Sandals
Sandals and summer dresses are like peanut butter and jelly – made for each other. Our Wolky sandals are designed with adjustable straps, so you can tweak the fit throughout the day. Whether your feet swell a little in the heat or you’re chasing the grandkids around, our sandals carry you wherever you want to go.
💡 Style tip: Pair your maxi dress with the Laprida. These sandals give your feet some extra coverage while still looking cute! The wavy sole adds a playful vibe and makes sure you can walk anywhere you like.
Sandals to pair with dresses
Flip-flops
Flip-flops are cute, sure. They’re the perfect shoe choice for the pool. But that’s often where the functionality ends. However, Wolky’s flip-flops offer the support of a real shoe. The memory foam, anatomically shaped footbed makes sure of that.
💡 Style tip: The Tahiti is perfect with a beachy cover-up dress. Bonus: no more tiptoeing across the hot sand.
Biker boots
Hear us out – biker boots with a dress? Total vibe! It’s that effortlessly cool look. But don’t worry, Wolky’s biker boots don’t just look good – they support your feet from heel to toe. And the leather material keeps your feet comfortable, even in warm weather. Your feet look and feel cool. That’s called a double win, right?!
💡 Style tip: Try the Red Deer WR with a floral mini dress for the ultimate contrast. Add sunglasses for that finishing touch. Absolutely perfect for a festival!
Loafers
Loafers bring a polished touch to any outfit – and yes, that includes dresses! They’re ideal for work days, whether you’re sitting down in your office or you’re constantly on the go. Wolky loafers are made with soft leather and memory foam footbeds, so you get elegance and comfort.
💡 Style tip: A midi dress with a cinched waist and a pair of Alabama’s? Chef’s kiss.
Ballerinas
Soft, feminine, and endlessly wearable – ballerina shoes are basically the dress shoe’s best friend. Ours come with all the cushioning and support you’ve come to expect from Wolky (no paper-thin soles here!).
💡 Style tip: Perfect for attending a wedding party. Keep a pair of our Snallerina’s in your tote and swap out those heels after the ceremony. Ready to dance the night away?

Wedge sandals
If we ask ourselves ‘which shoes to wear with summer dresses?’ wedge sandals immediately come to mind. They’re your summer savior. Ours offer plenty of arch support and a sturdy base so you can walk comfortably – even on cobblestones, boardwalks, or surprise hikes.
💡 Style tip: A-line dresses and our La Jolla were made for each other. Add a floppy hat and you’re instantly on vacation.
More than just a sandal...
Mary Janes
Mary janes are the sweet spot between practical and pretty. Wolky’s versions come with soft footbeds, lightweight soles, and Velcro closures. The shoes give you that classic charm. Great for garden parties or simply strolling the neighborhood in style.
