The Best White Shoes to Wear This Summer for Women Over 50
If you’ve been on the hunt for the perfect pair of white shoes this summer, you’re not alone. I don’t know what it is about a crisp white shoe, but it just makes every outfit feel a little fresher and more pulled together. Whether I’m wearing cropped jeans, a breezy summer dress, or a casual pair of shorts, white shoes always seem to work. They’re the kind of staple that goes with just about everything and never goes out of style. Today, I’m rounding up the best white shoes for summer that are comfortable, stylish, and perfect for women over 50. Let’s find your new favorite pair!
The Best White Shoes to Wear This Summer for Women Over 50
The Best White Sandals for Summer
Soft straps, cushioned soles, and a walkable fit make these Strappy Sandals a go-to choice. I’ve been reaching for them often, and they work with just about every outfit I’ve styled this season.
These sandals from Eileen Fisher are such a great mix of comfort and style. The back zipper makes them easy to slip on and off, and the cushioned footbed gives plenty of support for all-day wear. They’ve got that clean, minimalist look that works with everything from jeans to sundresses. Plus, they’re from a brand that really focuses on quality and comfort, which is always a win.
These white thong sandals are lightweight and minimal in the best way. They slip on easily and work well for casual days when you want something simple and cute. I found them true to size. You can see me wearing and styling them in this post!
This sandal checks all the boxes: supportive, stylish, and easy to walk in. The ankle strap helps keep your foot in place, and the low wedge adds a little height without being too much. Great with dresses, linen pants, or anything you’d wear to brunch or church!
If you’re planning beach days, sightseeing, or just need a comfortable sandal that won’t mind a little water, this water-friendly sandal fits the bill! It’s got serious arch support to keep your feet happy and still looks sleek and minimal, not bulky or overly sporty.
Such a good all-around summer slide sandal! The cut-out design gives it a little polish, but it’s still easy and casual. It works with shorts, jeans, dresses, pretty much anything you’d throw on when it’s hot out.
A lightweight flip-flop that’s actually comfortable to walk in? Yes, please. This one’s cushioned, supportive, and holds up well for everyday wear. Perfect for poolside or just running around town!
I love how unique this sandal from Franco Sarto is! It’s super sleek and modern, and it just feels a little more elevated than your basic flat. It’s got a padded footbed, so it’s not just cute, it’s walkable, too!
Simple, clean, and easy to wear. This flip-flop feels just a little more refined than the usual rubber kind, and the neutral shades make it super versatile. Great for casual days when you still want to look pulled together.
Casual White Sneakers to Wear this Summer
I absolutely love reaching for a white sneaker these days! This comfortable pair is made for everyday wear. They’re soft, supportive, and don’t scream “workout shoes,” so you can wear them with dresses, jeans, or whatever’s on your summer calendar.
A good white sneaker is a closet essential, and I love how versatile these BlissWalk PU Lace-Up Sneakers are. It has the same cushiony, all-day comfort as the other BlissWalk styles, plus extra traction on the sole for better grip.

White Flats and Loafers for Summer
I know not everyone wants to live in sandals or sneakers all summer, so I rounded up a few cute flats and loafers, too. This pair is a fun twist on the classic espadrille. The floral pattern adds just enough personality without being too loud, and the flat sole makes them comfortable for walking. They work with everything from matching sets to dress pants and add a little something extra to even the simplest outfit.
Soft, flexible, and full of texture, this woven ballet flat feels like a cozy upgrade from your usual flats. The padded sole adds comfort, and the loopy woven detail gives it a little something extra!
White Wedges and Heels to Wear this Summer
This Naturalizer wedge gives you a little lift without feeling too high or unstable. The open toe keeps things breezy, and the style is classic enough to dress up or down. A great choice for summer events or a fun date night!
These wedges from Clarks are such a great find. The Velcro strap makes them easy to slip on and adjust, so you’re not fussing with buckles. They’ve got that classic espadrille look, and the reviews speak for themselves: comfortable, cute, and perfect for summer days or nights out.
How to Keep White Shoes Looking Fresh
White shoes are such a staple for summer, but keeping them looking clean can be a little tricky… especially if you’re wearing them often (which you will be!). A little maintenance goes a long way, though. Here are a few tips that help:
- Spray them first. Before you wear them, give them a light coat of protective spray. Something water- and stain-resistant can make a big difference, especially on canvas or leather.
- Wipe them down. A quick wipe with a damp cloth after each wear helps keep dirt from building up. Magic erasers are great for rubber soles and scuffs.
- Spot clean as needed. You’re bound to get a stain or a spot on white shoes. Don’t panic. Spot clean them with a product like this.
- Don’t forget the soles. The bottoms can get dingy fast. That cleaner can help here, too, or you could try a little baking soda paste or even toothpaste to brighten them up.
It’s worth taking a few minutes to keep your white shoes looking their best this summer. They really do go with everything and instantly make any outfit feel more pulled together.

I haven’t tried those cleaning products, but now I want to! 😊
