Whether it's stones, textured leather, or metallic detailing, a little embellishment goes a long way for basic walking sandals. With a bit of glitz, everyday casual sandals are instantly transformed to a sophisticated option that will give you both comfort and style when paired with a fancier dress or evening outfit. Pour La Victoire's "Nanette" sandal uses the technique of textured leather in a different, but not contrasting color, to take the sandal from basic to funky. Available at Heels.com for $158.99.

Sam Edelman uses pearl-like metallic stones to dress up the "Ginger" sandal. The smooth stones and triple ankle strap are a bit edgy and very modern. Available for $94.99 at Heels.com.
