As I was scrolling on my phone the other day, I saw this Instagram Reel on creator Amber Nicole’s account (@amberandjune) for an idea I’d never seen before — and I instantly needed to know more! In the video, Amber shows how she attached little charms to her basic flip-flops to make them so much cuter. Though shoe charms have been around for years, from sneaker embellishments to Crocs Jibbitz, I hadn’t seen them on sandals before, and I love the idea. The flip-flop charms I found clip onto your sandal straps like little rings and just add a touch of personality or sparkle — and there are so many cute ones to check out!

5 Sandal Charms You’ll Love Wearing on Your Shoes

Even though fall is around the corner, there’s still plenty of summer weather to enjoy, and there are so many different charms to choose from depending on your personal style. Here are some sandal charms that have caught my eye as the perfect way to accessorize your footwear in late summer and early fall.

AE Flip Flop Charms 6-Pack

$13

These silver charms radiate boho cowboy vibes. They come with a selection of six designs that include a flower, star, cowboy boot, horseshoe, bow, and heart, with some turquoise accents. These are subtle enough to go with most sandal styles, but I think they’re really pop on a pair of black flip-flops.

Free People Sandal Charm Set

$16

Free People offers six different charm sets in slim (fits a 1-centimeter strap) and standard (fits a 1.5-centimeter strap) sizes: silver ruby, brass coral, gold opal, silver seven, mixed pearl, and silver moon. The gold opal is so timeless and would pair particularly well with pink and white sandals.

Flip Flop Sandal Charms

$12$3

Etsy is a great choice for finding unique and affordable charms. This shop has gold and silver versions of four designs: shell, pearl shell, ocean wave, and sun. They’re perfect for keeping a bit of summer with you no matter when you’re wearing your flip-flops, though they’re subtle enough that they’ll never look out of season.

Crocs Sandal Charms Pack

$15

It’s no surprise that Crocs is slaying the charm game! They have so many options, from gems and fruits to pearls and nautical shapes (one of my personal favorites). You can buy them as singles for $4.99 each or in packs of five for $14.99.

Copper Sandal Charms

$14

If you’re all about that arch support and you’re more of a Birkenstocks fan than a flip-flops wearer, these charms have got you covered. You can still join the sandal charm trend with these cute copper swirls made to clip onto the thick leather straps of Birkenstocks.
