Strappy sandals in any shape or form, totally in. Strappy heels, pumps, platforms, or wedges.. and that includes woven traps too. Not your regular gladiator sandal, we're totally passed that old fad. (Sam Edelman)

Bootie sandals; embellished pumps can make a regular fascinating addition to any outfit just as texture will add more interest to a boring T-shirt and shorts. Overall, bootie sandals have been embraced and have become a must have over the passed couple of seasons. Peep-toed booties are a MUST! (Sam Edelman & Jeffrey Campbell)

Platformed heels: this is the best way to add height with the slightest hope to minimize your pain. (Jeffrey Campbell & Nine West)

Wedges: These Dolce Vita strappy metallic wedges are simply a dream come true. I've always found that wedges were even easier to wear all night than platforms, plus they add amazing height. (others from Jeffrey Campbell)

Clog inspired: I don't know if I'll be getting clogs any time soon. I'm very skeptical about this trend... but Zara has some really nice ones. (Jeffrey Campbell)

Prints!!! They are in with clothes and they are certainly in with shoes. However I wouldn't dish out a lot of cash for elaborately printed shoes that will only last one season. Here is a more affordable solution ... a pair of ballet flats from Urban Outfitters that will be great for next summer too. If you want to be risky, check out Tick booties by JC.

These are not the only type of shoes that are in, thong sandals have evolved a lot over the years and they are definitely always in because they are a classic. Thongs can go anywhere from regular to bootie style. Many of the trends listed above will be mixed i.e. wedged sandals that are over the ankle and appear as though they are boots but with a peep toe etc...
