Sandal Season is Here and So the Search for the Perfect Pair Begins

They’re the kind we can slip on or kick off in one swift move. The ones that can handle a bit of sizzle from the heat and spray from the waves.

As seen on almost everyone at Fashion Week, they’re what some may describe as straight-up ugly, but they’re comfy af and will give you instant street style cred if you’re confident enough to pull them off.

With enough of a heel to feel dressed up but not so much you’re committed to an entire night of sitting, these strappy numbers have happy hour written all over them.

Think sporty slides that still show your toes and squishy footbeds that soothe sore feet post workout, as well as those that are always on the go.

Take your pick from strappy styles that lace up around your ankle over and over, or ones that are a bit more fuss-free with buckles for the perfect fit.

They were the first pair of heels for some, the mid-heeled mules that have been a favourite since we were little, their instantly recognisable slap against our soles as we take each step – that’s our summer soundtrack.
