Braided footwear for women to consider on Myntra for summer styling
These options have been curated from Myntra, using its braided sandals listings and braided-footwear flats pages as the base so you can browse braided textures across flats, heels, and easy everyday pairs.
Braided straps and woven textures do something that plain footwear rarely manages: they make even simple outfits look considered. The trick is that “braided” can mean very different things—rope-like uppers that feel casual and summery, embellished braids that read festive, or slim t-straps that stay minimal. This set covers all three, plus a practical spread of heel heights.
Denill Women Rope Crisscross Braided Straps Platform Wedge Sandals (beige) are the height-first choice, with a 3-inch platform wedge and a mid-top ankle profile. The open-toe, open-back construction keeps them warm-weather friendly, while the cushioned footbed makes the height feel more wearable than a narrow heel. The trade-off is that a 3-inch platform changes gait slightly, so it suits shorter, steady walks more than long commute days.

Picktoes Braided Embellished Open Toe Flats With Backstrap (cream) sit at the opposite end: flat, open-toe, and secured with a backstrap. The embellished braid gives them a dressier finish than a plain sandal, but the flat base keeps them practical for long wear. The main limitation is that embellished uppers can catch on delicate fabrics, so they pair best with denim, cotton dresses, or sturdier weaves rather than very soft knits.
Metro Embellished Braided Wedge Sandals (beige) are the “middle ground” pair, offering a small 1-inch wedge for lift without sacrificing stability. They keep the braided-and-embellished look, but the lower heel makes them easier for events where standing is expected. The downside is that the shorter wedge won’t give the leg-lengthening effect of a higher platform, so the styling payoff comes more from texture than height.
Shoetopia Braided One Toe Block Heels (black) are the most evening-leaning silhouette here because of the pointed toe shape and a 1.5-inch block heel. The black colour makes them easy to repeat, and the modest heel height is usually comfortable for dinners and indoor functions. The compromise is foot coverage: one-toe styles are visually striking but can feel less secure for people who prefer more strap support.
DressBerry Black Braided T-Strap Flats are the most classic “pair-with-anything” option in the flat category. The t-strap and buckle add structure at the top of the foot, while the braided detail gives a little texture without looking busy. The limitation is that t-straps can visually shorten the foot on some people, so they often look best with cropped hems, ankle-length trousers, or dresses that show a bit of ankle.
Practical tips that help choose quickly:
- For height with stability, a platform wedge (Denill Women Rope Crisscross Braided Straps Platform Wedge Sandals) is usually easier than slim heels, but it’s still best saved for shorter walking days.
- For long wear, flat options with a backstrap or buckle tend to feel more secure than open-back pairs; that’s where Picktoes Braided Embellished Open Toe Flats With Backstrap and DressBerry Black Braided T-Strap Flats fit well.
- When outfits are already detailed (prints, heavy embroidery), the black options (Shoetopia Braided One Toe Block Heels, DressBerry Black Braided T-Strap Flats) usually blend better than beige embellished pairs.
