The Find: 10 flat sandals that are perfectly on-trend
The Find: 10 flat sandals that are perfectly on-trend
The strappy stiletto and towering espadrille have taken backseat this summer to a new footwear star: 90s-style “Ugly Sandals,” some of which look an awful lot like clunky Birkenstocks and men’s shower shoes. For those who cringe at the thought of buying a pair of Tevas, there are plenty of prettier options that will still leave your toes blister-free. We’ve chosen dainty pointed-toe flats with ankle straps, chunky platforms in futuristic metallic shades and sleek minimalist slip-ons. Wear these sandals for any summery situation: in the evening with a slip dress, or during the day with a t-shirt and shorts. Here, our 10 favourite pairs.
