Once an item hits TikTok, it either flops or goes viral. Or, if we're talking about the Tory Burch Kira Sport sandal (from $278), it goes viral every time it drops in a new design. And guess what?! The must-have shoes are back and chicer than ever, boasting some summer-ready upgrades like a new jute-lined midsole that's perfect for the beach. So, if I were you, I wouldn't waste a second before scooping up a pair of the just-debuted Rope sandals in ceramic taupe and cream/new ivory (from $278), because once everyone else gets word of 'em, they won't stay in stock for long.

Just so you know, the style first stirred up some buzz in spring 2023, after TikTokers discovered just how cute and comfortable the chunky "dad sandals" were. While the original designs feature a leather upper and a Napa leather lining (as well as a rubber sole and molded leather footbed), the latest versions of the Kira Rope Sport sandals are even more elevated, with a combination of materials that'll make them a guaranteed win on your next vacation. More specifically, the new sandals have a sawtooth rubber sole for prime traction (even on the sand), a molded leather footbed, suede or bouclé velcro straps and a jute-lined midsole that will match your beach bag. Per usual, these Tory Burch shoes check *all* the boxes on the fashion and function front.

One buyer said the new materials make them worth every penny, so there's no question whether you should scoop them up for summer. They also confirmed that the shoes are comfortable, so "wearing them all day is a no-brainer! [I] recommend them to everyone!" That said, the versatile colors are also bound to go with all your fits this season, so I can guarantee you'll get your money's worth of wear out of 'em over the next few months.

Just like the original leather pairs, this version was designed in partnership with a Leather Working Group-certified tannery that is all about "supporting high standards in leather manufacturing and chemical management," so no need to second guess their quality (even down to the utilitarian velcro straps adorned with the brand's signature logo).

If you're in the market for a slightly more bright and edgy pick, the mesh knit version of the sandal is your answer. The exclusive style, available in both black and Lemon Mist colors, features the same soft leather lining and rubber sole, but with a textured mesh overlay on the straps and midsole. In other words, they put the "sport" in the Kira Sport sandal. So, run, don't walk to grab a pair before they sell out (again), and don't forget we told you first.
