Gravity aside, if you've got long phalanges (fancy talk for toe bones), look for sandals that offer resistance to better anchor your foot in place to prevent sandal slippage. When in doubt, holster that big toe. Often called a toe ring design (and a refining search term if you're look at options at Macy's), sandals like this punchy plum-colored Zodiac option are perfect. Of course, a scene-stealing closed-toe sandal is an absolute go-to as well — and perfect when you're overdue for a pedi. This pair from Crown Vintage should do the trick.
Just because you have long toes doesn't confine you to just fabulous kitten heels or flats. Sometimes that 3-inch heel is just too zhuzh-y to resist, and you've got to go all in. When you feel the need to indulge, hedge your bets with an inexpensive non-slip insole pad like this one from Amazon, and you should be good to go.
Whether you choose to showcase your elegant toes in a full reveal or dabble in peep-toe and beyond, sandals come in an endless variety. Whether you go full or no-toe, be sure to choose the sandals that are a great fit. "It should just immediately feel comfortable — like a perfect match," said Jane Andersen, a podiatrist in Chapel Hill, North Carolina (via Prevention). Now get out there and rock the style that works best for those gorgeous long toes.
