13 Fourth of July Inspired Shoes You Could Easily Rock All Summer Long
Fourth of July is known for it’s flair and, while it boasts big, booming fireworks displays that light up the night sky, the drama also comes in the form of equally loud, heavily red, white and blue themed attire. The best part of any good Independence Day celebration is the ensemble (aside from the food, obviously — nothing is better than roof BBQ), so if that American flag shirt hanging in your closet is feeling a little tired, switch up your patriotic apparel game with a pair of fancy, Fourth of July inspired shoes. Why should tees and tanks steal the holiday fun?
Whether you're in the market for a pair of sneakers ideal for backyard BBQs or in need of flip-flops that are easily kicked off pool side, a plethora of options perfectly matching to the holiday await you. If the July 4th fashion goal is to completely retire that starred and striped tank in lieu of sporting flags on your feet, there are high tops and slip-ons ready to be worn. And if you prefer something with a subtle nod to the red, white and blue or a little more sparkle, glitter and metallic embellished sandals and lace ups are waiting to be your July 4th jam. If you are officially ready to invite your footwear to the theme party, scroll through the round up of the 13 most patriotic shoes for fancy Fourth of July feet.
