Gothic sandals are black, open summer shoes that combine a breathable silhouette with a dark, gothic aesthetic. In this collection you will find women's styles on platforms, wedges, and heels, featuring straps, buckles, and studs. Goth sandals let you wear a dark style on warmer days without giving up chunky soles and metal details. Below we break down the silhouettes, heights, and ways to wear them.
Gothic Platform Sandals
The most popular choice is sandals on a thick, flat platform. They add height while keeping the comfort of flat walking, and the chunky sole balances the open, lightweight upper. This style is closest to the rest of gothic footwear, which you can also find in the gothic platform shoes collection.
Wedge Sandals
A wedge is a full, elevated sole that runs from heel to toe with no arch cutout. Wedge sandals offer considerable height with great stability, making them more comfortable to walk in than stilettos. Gothic styles most often feature a black matte or cork wedge with straps that fasten around the ankle.
Gothic Sandals with Straps and Buckles
A separate category includes sandals with multiple straps, buckles, and hardware. Straps wrapping around the foot and ankle create a stronger, more edgy look, while metal buckles and studs echo the rest of gothic footwear. The more straps, the more securely the shoe stays on the foot and the bolder the effect.
Black Goth Heeled Sandals
On the dressier end of the collection are sandals on heels and block heels. A higher heel lengthens the leg and gives a more elegant evening look, while block-heel versions are more stable than stilettos. You will find more elevated footwear in the gothic heeled shoes collection.
How to Wear Gothic Sandals
Goth sandals look best with shorter dresses and skirts that expose the leg and highlight the sole, as well as with wide-leg trousers that let the platform peek out from underneath. They are a summer alternative to boots and ankle boots. A wider selection of footwear in this style can be found in the gothic shoes collection, and women's styles in the gothic women's shoes collection.
Sizing varies depending on the model, so for each product we provide the insole length in centimeters as well as the platform or heel height. Material and closure type can be found in the product description.
