Flat sandals special: Slide into summer

Flat sandals special: Slide into summer and wave goodbye to aching feet and sore toes as finally it’s cool to be comfy

  • The humble flip-flop has been given a high-fashion makeover this season 
  • Nineties toe-ring sandal has made a comeback along with the trekking shoe
  • And the silver lining of this new summer trend is its finally cool to be comfortable

Wave goodbye to aching feet and sore toes — flat sandals are on this summer’s hot list (while heels barely get a look in).

Last year’s favourite, the humble flip-flop, has been given a high-fashion makeover and is now often chunky and leather.

Remember the Nineties toe‑ring sandal? This has also made a stylish comeback. The most surprising of trends is the trekking shoe. Thanks to Chanel featuring them in its summer collection, the High Street is spilling over with the hippie shoe. The silver lining? Finally, it’s cool to be comfy. Hurrah!
