Previously, she was the shop editor for Dwell.

Our exhaustive reporting on summer sandals started in May this year. Since then, we’ve stopped New Yorkers on the street to ask about their summer shoes, rounded up our own favorite city sandals, and shared tips for finding your perfect sandal (to share just a fraction of our sandal coverage). So by now I have a pretty good idea of which sandal is taking home the title for the Strategist’s MVP shoe of the summer, and by all accounts, it’s Rothy’s fisherman sandals.
