We're in the midst of our first heat wave of the year in Washington, D.C. which means it's a great time to run a sandal shoe shopping map. We found out what sandals are being snapped up by customers right now at eight cool, local indie boutiques. And as if these bestsellers aren't inspiration enough for you to get shopping, a few spring/summer shoe sales are happening this time of year too. Click to the map to find out where to go for flat sandals, wedge sandals, and everything in between.
