Picking out the perfect pair of white sneakers is no mean feat-like most fashion staples, there is an overwhelming number of trendy riffs on the style. Who can forget the time when Stan Smiths peeked out Golden Goose Shoes from underneath every street style star's trousers, and you couldn't walk around New York without seeing both tourists and city dwellers in a pair? Then, shortly after, the chunky dad sneakers had their moment, beloved by fashion girls (and guys!) from Scandi style darlings to hypebeasts.

The shopping website's just-released Lyst Index, which determines the hotness of a product via a proprietary metric that takes into account the habits of the site's 5 million monthly users as well as social media stats, ranks Teva's Hurricane XLT2 sandals as the hottest women's shoe and the second hottest women's product for the second quarter of 2019. The website estimates that searches for the shoe increased 350 percent, compared to the second quarter of 2018, making it more popular than any stiletto or sneaker in the market.

But thanks to the jolie laide shoe phenomenon (kick-started back in 2013 with Phoebe Philo's Celine furkenstocks), Tevas have become more than just a functional shoe in 2019. Not only are Teva sandals now trendy-a fact that recent collaborations with Anna Sui and Outdoor Voices prove-but according Golden Goose NYC to Lyst, Tevas are the trendiest shoes of the year so far.

No, no, then I'll feel horrible. Maybe I'll hit up the Golden Goose treadmill. Ugh, that's worse than not running at all. Okay, I'm doing this. Maybe it's our collective obsession with getting away and escaping it all that's making the Teva the coolest shoe of the summer. They were always my favorite warm-weather vacation shoe, great for walking on the beach or visiting local artisan bazaars, Anna Sui told Footwear News.
