The hardest part of summer isn’t planning a weekend getaway or curating the perfect park-day playlist — it’s figuring out what to wear on your feet. Sandals may seem like the obvious answer, but too often they’re unflattering, uncomfortable, or, frankly, just ugly.

Celeb-loved brand Dr. Martens is stepping in with a solution. The retailer’s new ZebZag sandal collection has officially arrived online, offering a lineup of chunky slides and strappy silhouettes.

If the name sounds familiar, that’s because the ZebZag line already has a fanbase. The brand’s viral ZebZag mules debuted in 2024 and quickly took over social media, selling out almost as fast as they dropped. According to Dr. Martens’ 2025 sales report, the mules became one of the brand’s top-performing styles, and the sandal versions seem poised to follow the same path.

The new designs keep everything people loved about the originals: the retro-inspired shape, thick soles, and signature Dr. Martens detailing. Prices start at $130 for the ZebZag slides and go up to $140 for select animal-printed patterns. Early shoppers are already praising the sandals for their comfort and build, with reviewers describing them as “fitting like a glove” and “solid and durable.” One tip before you buy: both editors and customers recommend sizing down in this particular line for the best fit.

Since launching in the Sixties, Dr. Martens has built a cult-like following. The brand has become synonymous with a pop-punk aesthetic, and more than six decades later, it’s just as likely to be spotted on celebrities like Olivia Rodrigo and Timothée Chalamet as it is at your local dive bar. What’s kept fans loyal is the balance between style and longevity: these are shoes designed to survive more than a single season.

Whether you’re headed to the beach or a backyard concert, the ZebZag sandals feel like the kind of shoe you’ll end up reaching for all summer long. And if the mule craze was any indication, they probably won’t stay in stock for very long once the warm weather fully kicks in.
