‘This multitasking linen dress is the only one I packed on holiday – and it's on sale'
I've just returned from a city break for which I had to pack light, and this flattering linen mini dress was the most versatile item I packed – and it currently has 39% off Knowing what clothes to pack on a summer city break can be tricky, especially if you're limited on suitcase space; you want items to be practical yet look nice, suitable for hot weather yet also city streets, and possibly see you through long days of exploring. Luckily, I think I've found just the item: a cooling linen dress that looks great and works hard. On a recent three-day trip to Barcelona, the only dress I brought with me with this Linen A-Line Dress from & Other Stories. Simple yet flattering, it features a round neck, slightly dropped arm holes and is mid-thigh in length, and looks great with both flat sandals and heels (and even trainers). This made it the perfect outfit for me for both day and night. It's available in black and white, and is currently on sale on the H&M website, down from £77 to £47 for the black version and £57 for the white (which I'm seriously tempted to buy too). I really love the shape; its high neck and slightly dropped arms give it a more flattering silhouette that a basic shift dress. Thanks to its A-line shape, if also doesn't cling to sweaty legs. Because it's fully lined, I don't wear a bra with it as I think the straps would show slightly; if you wanted something similar that hides bra straps better, & Other Stories also sells this linen dress with a slightly different shape. Although linen will always crease, because my & Other Stories dress is black and lined, the creases aren't obvious (I certainly didn't bother steaming or ironing it in 30 degree heat). I wore it during the day with my trusty Birkenstock Arizonas walking around the city, where we averaged about 20,000 steps every day, then changed to daintier-looking black Havaiana flip-flops for the evening. For me it's the perfect summer city dress. If you're after some alternatives, Nobody's Child does some excellent linen-blend summer dresses. We love the flattering waist tie on the Lottie, £69, while the Cora, £89, is a pretty midi dress option. For something more colourful or boldly printed, try Roman. This belted shirt dress, £39, would be great for holidays or the office, while this printed shift dress, £42, would also work well as a beach cover-up (and the green version is currently reduced to £32).

27 Comfy Shoes From Zappos To Wear On A Trip
Some chunky-heeled Naturalizer sandals that don't ask you to compromise on style, support, or budget, which means you can put the money you save towards a splurge-y dinner when you're actually on vacation. Promising review: "Super cute and extremely comfortable." —AnonymousPrice: $79.99+ (originally $99.99+; available in sizes 5.5–11 and five colors) A pair of New Balance 327 sneakers so you can ~kick it~ around the streets of your destination in sporty-chic style (and comfort, of course). Promising review: "Best sneakers I've bought in a long time! So cute and comfy and versatile" —AnonymousPrice: $99.95 (available in sizes 5–12 and 11 colors) A pair of iconic Birkenstock Arizonas because these two-strap sandals are supremely supportive *and* durable. The contoured cork footbed molds to the foot for made-for-you comfort, and they'll last for vacations to come! Seriously, mine survived SEVEN years of heavy walking. I bought my first pair in summer 2017, and I only *just* replaced them at the end of last fall — and for what it's worth, I walked A LOT in them. Miles upon miles around town, when visiting family, and overseas!Promising review: "While all Birkenstocks are comfortable, these just might be my most comfortable pair yet. Overall? 5 stars. Comfort? 5 stars. Style? C'mon, they're Birks! :-)" —AnonymousPrice: $115 (available in women's sizes 4–12.5, in narrow and regular, and two colors) Or, some Birkenstock Mayaris if you want the same unrivaled corkbed support but a somewhat more ~dainty~ aesthetic. These are my absolute go-to for trips to Europe, as they're a bit dressier than the Arizonas while still keeping my feet happy as I walk 15,000+ steps a day. I *also* have this style in black. They're my favorite for pairing with dresses and skirts because of the strappy look. For whatever reason, I also find that this style is quicker to break in (but that could just be for my feet!).Promising review: "These are the best sandals made. I will never wear any other sandals. I've worn this style in August in Disneyworld, St. Augustine, Grand Canyon, Zion, Bryce, Las Vegas, and I can walk forever. Every color is attractive. Nothing ever rubs; there is no break-in required. I can't stand a thong between my first and second toe, but with these, you can't even feel it. I hope they never get rid of this style." —AnonymousPrice: $110 (available in sizes 5–12.5, wide sizes, and five colors) **OR** a shimmery Birkenstock thong sandal to add a bit of ✨ glam✨ as you salsa with the locals. These also come in solid colors, which will look equally good as you twirl about. OK, full disclosure, I don't own this style, BUT I am buying them soon. My mom usually packs these for her tripsPromising review: "I've had different pairs of Birkenstocks for many years, but hadn't worn any for quite some time. Last summer, I noticed several people wearing these, and I thought they were stylish, so I decided I would get them. They are both stylish and comfortable right out of the box. I love them. They look nice with skirts." —AnonymousPrice: $110 (available in sizes 5–11.5 and seven colors) A pair of Sorel waterproof sneakers so you're always prepared for surprise rain showers and sight-seeing through puddles. Truly, the last thing you want is to have to make a midday stop back at the hotel to swap socks. Promising review: "WOW. I created a Zappos account just to be able to write this review. These shoes are THE BEST. I ordered them a few days before my vacation after I found out it was supposed to rain the entire time. (Shout out to Zappos for getting them to me in time!) They were so comfortable and kept my feet dry. One night, we got caught in a torrential downpour and ran through several puddles. My pants were completely soaked through, but these shoes kept my feet completely dry!!!! I wore them almost every day for two weeks and walked over 15k steps a day without blisters or pain. I'm in awe. If you're looking for a great waterproof shoe, these are it." —AnonymousPrice: $94.95 (available in sizes 5–12 and in five colors — not all sizes available in all colors) A comfy and supportive Toms platform sandal to bring your fashion to ~new heights~. Just think how cute these will look with those new dresses you bought specifically for your trip! Promising review: "These have great support, are not wobbly, and are quite nice looking. Very comfortable." —AnonymousPrice: $70.84+ (originally $100; available in sizes 5–10 and four colors) A pair of classic ballet flats because they take up practically no room in your suitcase and probably go with everything in it, too! You really can't go wrong with this simple-but-sophisticated travel staple. Promising review: "You know someone loves a shoe when they buy a second pair of them... and I just ordered my second pair. I got a pair this spring, just before I had some minor foot surgery. It turned out to be one of two pairs of shoes I could wear without pain because it doesn't have any pressure points. I literally wore these for three weeks straight. I love this shoe because I can wear it with jeans or skirts, and it's easy to wear on a plane. They pack great!" —AnnPrice: $90.71+ (available in sizes 4–14, narrow, medium, and wide fits, and 14 colors) Keen's Rose Sandals, aka my absolute favorite summer sandals. They're supportive and sturdy enough for walking or hiking miles (and even have a reinforced toe protector!) while still being lightweight, waterproof, and pretty enough to wear with dresses! Promising reviews: "These are my 'dressy' Keens — I can wear them with dresses and skirts. Keen shoes are the best in comfort and style!" —MrsD."I love this shoe for the comfort and support. This is my fourth pair, and I am ordering another pair today in another color." —TeresaPrice: $120 (available in sizes 5–101 and six colors) A pair of Vionic loafers (with arch support!) in case your trip involves a professional work conference before the true vacation begins. These hit that sweet spot between formal and casual style, so you'll have no problem *immediately* hitting up museums, cafes, and bars after that pesky corporate negotiating is done. Promising review: "Very soft leather, wore them all over Spain while on vacation. Good with a light sock; very comfortable. No trouble with my plantar fasciitis." —DianePrice: $130 (available in sizes 5–13, medium and wide fits, and 24 colors) A pair of strappy Chaco sandals designed with a soft, water-resistant leather upper and gentle arch support, because you simply won't enjoy your trip if your feet hurt the whole time. These sandals have a cult-following for their comfort, so you know you're in good hands... errr, feet? You get my point! Promising review: "I really like these! Great arch support. This particular style isn't as 'summer camp' looking as most Chacos, which is why I got them. Great for walking around the city. Love the navy blue. The system to tighten the strap across the foot is clever and makes them particularly easy to get in and out of. I can tell I'm going to wear the heck out of these." —RebeccaPrice: $73.27+ (originally $79.95; available in sizes 5–12 and three colors) A checkerboard Vans slip-on shoe for an effortlessly cool streetwear style you can rock all day long. Plus, no laces = no hassle at airports! Promising review: "LOVE! These are my eighth pair of Vans and they're so stylish. I especially love the slip-on style because they are so convenient." —KaylaPrice: $60+ (available in sizes 5–17.5 and 20 colors) A pair of breathable leather huaraches destined for strolling the unpaved streets of a quaint village that's off the beaten path, which is precisely your favorite kind of destination (and mine too). Promising review: "Finally, a really comfortable huarache-style shoe! The heels don't slip, moderate arch support and cushioning, and the fit is good overall. The sole provides some cushioning and doesn't slip on pavement like the traditional leather soles tend to do." —SusiePrice: $104.95 (available in sizes 6–11, medium and wide, and two colors) Some rugged Blundstone Chelsea boots since you can rely on these bad boys for just about any kind of adventure, no matter the weather! From wet, muddy hikes to museum visits to local eateries, these promise to keep ya comfy and stylish. You're looking at a BIG Blundstones fan here! I cannot recommend these boots enough, not just for trips, but also just for everyday life. I've had mine for almost 10 years now, and they're still going strong. Sure, they could use a polish on the outside, but in terms of support, I haven't noticed them become any less comfy or supportive since I first bought them. I wear them pretty much all year round, too!Promising review: "These boots are worth every penny! After a short period of breaking in, they feel great for hours of walking on trails or even in town. They keep your feet warm and dry." —AnonymousPrice: $199.95 (available in sizes 6–11 and lots of other styles and colors) A pair of Adidas Adilette Aqua slides for anyone heading to an all-inclusive resort. Don't even bother with those flimsy flip-flops because these are oh-so-cushiony with a timeless sporty style. Promising review: "Ordered this sandal specifically for my 75-year-old father who has really bad neuropathy in his right foot and cannot wear anything but really (I mean really) soft-soled tennis shoes in order to stop the pain. I looked at many sandals and thought I would try this because they did not have ridges like most of them do (ridges cause pain) and are very smooth on the surface where your foot goes. Well, he loves them, says that other than his tennis shoes, these are the only things that don't cause pain. Good job, Adidas! I will order again if you keep making shoes like this! —anonymousPrice: $21.99+ (originally $28; available in sizes 6–13 and in three colors) Or, these mesmerizing metallic-strapped Oofos flip-flops to add some ~mermaid energy~ to your poolside hangs. Plus, the OOfoam footbed cushioning technology helps absorb impact, cradles your arches, and encourages natural foot movement. So yeah, these are more than just a pretty shoe — they're smart too! Promising review: "This is my third pair. Love these sandals. I use one pair inside the house instead of wearing slippers. Two other pairs wear on the street. Love the black trim, which doesn't show scuff marks. Great arch support. Very comfortable!!!!" —DebbiePrice: $54.97 (originally $75.95; available in sizes 5–11 and two colors) Slip-on sneakers because you have an absolutely jam-packed itinerary and that means there's not a moment to spare for tying laces! Promising review: "They are true to size. I bought this particular pair because it is multi-colored and goes with virtually everything casual." — $39.41+ (originally $64.99; available in sizes 6–11 and four colors) A pair of block-heel suede sandals in a pretty pink so you can cosplay as Barbie on vacation and dance the night away without having to worry about silly things like sore feet or blisters. Promising review: "So comfortable and looks great on my feet." —AnonymousPrice: $89.99+ (originally $115, available in sizes 5–11 and 15 other colors) A Sperry loafer that'll perfectly match your seaside destination with its stylish maritime aesthetic. Promising review: "Love these. High level of comfort. Will buy again." —AnonymousPrice: $74.98 (originally $89.95; available in sizes 5–12) A pair of Dr. Martens gladiator sandals to bring some edgy pop-punk vibes to your sunny getaway... because unfortunately, it will be way too hot to wear your beloved Dr. Martens combat boots. Promising review: "I have a wider forefoot and high arches, so my normal size 8 fit perfectly. Out of the box, they are nearly as comfortable as the Birkenstocks I've worn almost daily for years. The strap near the toes is a bit more snug than I'd like, but I know it will stretch with time. The leather is soft, and the straps are secure enough that they won't rub or cause issues. (I have sensory issues and am SUPER picky about that!) As an added bonus, they make me feel real tall." —AnonymousPrice: $139.95 (available in sizes 5–11) A cutout Toms sandal that's so chic, I wouldn't be surprised if folks think you're a local — and since these have a thick block heel, you'll definitely be walking with the confidence of someone who knows exactly where they're going (even if you have no idea). Promising review: "Absolutely love these. My first Toms purchase. Super soft and comfortable. Will be my staple shoes vs. flat styles. I'm short, and these are perfect go-tos. The heel is not too high, and the style is easy. I got the light fabric. Darling! These are true to size." —Anonymous Price: $66.75 (originally $89; available in sizes 5–11 and two colors) A pair of flatform Tevas if you love fun colors, bold patterns, and ~elevated~ comfort. These popular vegan and earth-friendly sandals go three for three — and they'll *also* help you see over big crowds! Promising review: "I love everything about these sandals because they're so comfortable and you can dress them up or down. 10/10 would recommend." —SofPrice: $56.25+ (originally $75; available in sizes 6–11 and 10 colors/styles — not all sizes available in all colors) A darling espadrille wedge so your travel companion can snap the most artsy pic of you strutting down a cobblestone street, skirt or dress flowing in the wind. Unlike other heels, these provide a solid, level surface for walking uneven surfaces. Promising review: "Super cute and comfortable. Not too tall for everyday wear. True fit." —AnonymousPrice: $78.95 (available in sizes 5–12 and four colors) Hoka sneakers, which have a well-earned reputation for being *the* most supportive shoes out there. Many nurses, service workers, and other folks who spend all their non-vacation time on their feet absolutely swear by these, so it's safe to assume they can handle your 10-day jaunt around the globe. Promising review: "The fit is excellent! I've had a hard time finding shoes in my size in wide. These have plenty of room and don't make my feet feel cramped. There is enough cushioning to feel supportive but not overwhelming. My feet feel great in these!" —AnonymousPrice: $140 (available in sizes 5–11, two widths, and 14 colors — not all sizes available in all colors) A pair of geometric cutout slip-ons if you're looking for something more unique than your typical pair of supportive walking sandals. These will transform even just jeans and a V-neck into a super stylish ensemble, which means you can stick to packing mostly basics and then just mix-n-match. BTW, these shoes have received the American Podiatric Medical Association (APMA) Seal of Acceptance, meaning they promote good foot review: "I love this shoe and have it in two colors. It is extremely comfortable and makes my foot look a little narrower. Yay!" —AnonymousPrice: $189.95 (available in sizes 4–12 and six colors) A Keds white lace-up sneaker because your current pair of "white" sneakers are milky-grey at best and that simply won't do for your big debut in a new country. Promising review: "After trying at least 20 white sneakers, this one is a hit. The leather is soooo comfortable as compared to canvas. The style is just what I was looking for: not too athletic and not too casual. Buy them. You won't be disappointed" —CarolPrice: $64.95 (available in sizes 5–11) A pair of square-toe slingback pumps that'll have you looking way too ~sharp~ to be an American tourist, or, at least that's what the restaurant staff will think. Hope you practiced a few words of the native language to really convince 'em! Promising reviews: "Fit was true to size and very comfortable. Very attractive shoe, especially for a larger foot." —Lisa"Material is soft, super comfortable shoe, stylish, and perfect width." —AnonymousPrice: $119.95+ (originally $135; available in sizes 5–12 and 10 colors/styles)

I found the best lookalike for Birkenstock's studded sandals and they'll save you £100
Birkenstock's western-inspired studded sandals are perfect for summer, and we've spotted the perfect alternative pair that'll get you the same look for over £100 less If there's one pair of sandals that are a must-have for summer, it's a pair of double strap mules. The style is timeless and easy to style, and one of the most iconic designs for this kind of sandal is, of course, a pair of Birkenstock Arizonas. With the western aesthetic still trending (thanks in no small part to Beyonce 's Cowboy Carter tour), the Birkenstock Arizona Rivet Sandals in Dark Rust are the ideal way to bring the cowboycore look to your summer wardrobe on the days when it's too hot to don your cowboy boots. However with Birkenstock's pair costing £135 they're not always the most budget friendly pick, which is why we couldn't wait to snap up H&M's much more affordable alternative. Priced at £32.99, the H&M Studded Sandals are not only £102 cheaper than the Birkenstock pair, but they have a very similar look that lets you nail the western vibe without spending too much. They come in both black and brown shades, with the brown pair featuring silver studs, whilst the black pair have gold stud details. The double straps both have adjustable buckle fastenings, and the H&M sandals feature a comfortable moulded footbed that means you can wear them for hours at a time with no issues. The soles are also lined with satin, which helps absorb any moisture without creating friction or rubbing on your feet. Although they're made from 100% polyester, the straps have a very convincing suede-look finish, which makes them look much more expensive than they actually are. The hardware details also contribute to their luxe look, making them a great way to save money whilst still looking stylish. If you do want to snap up the real deal, Anthropologie currently has the Birkenstock Arizona Studded Sandals on sale for a limited time, reduced to £108. Meanwhile New Look has an ultra affordable pair on offer, with the Light Brown Faux Suede Studded Sandals on sale for £19.79, down from £32.99. However H&M shoppers have so far been thrilled with their Studded Sandals, giving them a solid five star rating. One wrote: 'Slightly awkward sizing, a little on the wide side but can be adjusted. Look fab.' Whilst another agreed: 'Comfy and stylish. Great value for money.' The sandals come in sizes two to nine. The brown colourway are currently out of stock in sizes seven and eight, whilst the black and gold pair currently only have size twos available due to how popular they are.

27 Sandals From Zappos You Can Live In All Summer
A pair of Birkenstock Arizonas that are a true classic for a reason, that reason being they're comfortable, timeless, and durable. Just remember that even Barbie picked her Birks over heels. Promising review: "I was a little hesitant to buy these because it has a man-made upper rather than a leather one. I am pleasantly surprised by the quality of the material. I would definitely order them again. In fact, it's hard to tell they are not leather unless I place them side by side with my leather Birkenstocks. The footbed and the sole are the same as regular Birkenstocks. As usual, Zappos sent them to me with lightning speed." —AnonymousPrice: $115 (available in women's sizes 4–12.5, in narrow and regular, and two colors) A pair of cushiony Havaianas flip-flops to wear from the beach to the beach bar on your next vacation. And if you don't have a vacay booked, consider this your sign to do so.🏝️ Promising review: "I was very pleased with these flip-flops. They are durable and do not fade (even the black ones). The straps stay tight, and the foam maintains its shape. I would highly recommend these shoes as your summer footwear." —AnonymousPrice: $13.66+ (originally $30; available in sizes 5–12 and eight colors) A pair of Toms platform sandals to ~elevate~ your look even when the last thing you want to do is wear a pair of heels. These are comfortable, secure, and will make a statement. Promising review: "These have great support, are not wobbly, and are quite nice looking. Very comfortable." —AnonymousPrice: $80+ (originally $100; available in sizes 5–12 and five colors) A pair of strappy Chaco sandals if you value a high-quality leather shoe with a massive cult following. Designed to contour to your feet and provide arch support, they're simply made just for you. Promising review: "I really like these! Great arch support. This particular style isn't as 'summer camp' looking as most Chacos, which is why I got them. Great for walking around the city. Love the navy blue. The system to tighten the strap across the foot is clever and makes them particularly easy to get in and out of. I can tell I'm going to wear the heck out of these." —RebeccaPrice: $79.95 (available in sizes 5–11 and four colors) A pair of summer-ready wedge espadrilles that will give you some extra height without requiring you to stick bandages over blisters after a few hours. Promising review: "So comfortable! Tie the ribbons fairly tight, and the sandal will feel like an extension of the foot. Love these!" —AnonymousPrice: $140+ (available in sizes 5–10 and six colors) A pair of Sam Edelman mules with the look of a loafer, but the ease of a sandal that you can slip on and off in seconds. The gold buckle adds a hint of glam, and the footbed is super soft, too! Promising review: "These are really cute and feel broken in the second you slip them on. The leather is super soft and they are really comfortable. As many other reviewers have noted, these run a half size large. They fit perfectly." —AzelsmPrice: $140 (available in sizes 4.5–11, medium and wide fits, and 15 colors) A pair of pointed-toe mules with a charming woven design for a subtly textured take on your classic slide-on sandal. They're perfect for everyday and formal wear, and will keep your sweaty toes nice 'n' breezy. Price: $142.43 (originally $149; available in sizes 6–10) A pair of flatform Tevas so you can slay all of your outdoor adventures this summer — from picnics to farmers' markets to camping to music festivals. Promising review: "I love everything about these sandals because they're so comfortable and you can dress them up or down. 10/10 would recommend." —SofPrice: $75 (available in sizes 5–11 and eight colors) A chic Sam Edelman slide sandal that you'll want to wear so often, it'd be silly not to pick up more than one pair. After all, they come in *so* many colors, it'll be hard to pick just one. Promising review: "I have very difficult feet (super high arches and slightly wide feet, but not wide enough for extra-wide shoes). I live in a warm climate, so I can wear these almost year-round. They are very comfortable and I can wear them for short strolls or shopping. They are a stylish and budget-friendly version of similar shoes that YSL and Hermes make. Also great for travel as they take up virtually no room in a suitcase or even a tote bag." —SuzieGPrice: $90 (available in sizes 5–11, medium and wide fits, and 15 colors) A pair of ankle wrap heels in sleek black or glam metallics to show off your ~sophisticated~ side this summer. The kitten heel is the perfect height for semi-formal events, and the adjustable ankle wrap will keep your feet securely in the sandal. Price: $66.30 (originally $85; available in sizes 5–10 and three colors) A pair of timeless Adidas Adilette Aqua slides that will be the only shoes you reach for when you're running errands, taking out the trash, grabbing the mail, or heading out to the pool. Promising review: "I took others' advice and sized down. Normally, I wear a women's 9.5–10, so I ordered the M8/W9, and the fit is perfect. Flip-flops rub a blister between my toes, so slides are a good alternative. These look sharp, and the price is right." —CMMPrice: $18+ (available in sizes 5–14 and in three colors) A Birkenstock thong sandal that's an upgrade from the worn-out flip-flops that you bought from a random corner store in Spain two years ago. Promising review: "I've had different pairs of Birkenstocks for many years, but hadn't worn any for quite some time. Last summer, I noticed several people wearing these, and I thought they were stylish, so I decided I would get them. They are both stylish and comfortable right out of the box. I love them. They look nice with skirts." —AnonymousPrice: $110 (available in sizes 5–11.5 and seven colors) A pair of practical slide sandals with a block heel that are giving old glamour vibes without the price tag. Shoppers say they're super comfortable for all-day wear, and the block heel is nice and sturdy. Promising review: "These are wonderful. I get so many compliments when I wear them!" —AnonymousPrice: $77.90+ (available in sizes 5–11, medium and wide, and 10 colors) Or a chunkier pair of low block heels by Aerosoles so you can sparkle and shine on the dancefloor this wedding season. Alexa, play "Diamonds" by Rihanna. Price: $80.32+ (originally $125, available in sizes 5–12 and in 10 colors) A pair of futuristic-looking Oofos flip-flops with a metallic strap to add a bold pop of color to your stride. I can see comfy feet in your future. Promising review: "This is my third pair. Love these sandals. I use one pair inside the house instead of wearing slippers. Two other pairs wear on the street. Love the black trim, which doesn't show scuff marks. Great arch support. Very comfortable!!!!" —DebbiePrice: $75.95 (available in sizes 5–11 and three colors) A pair of stylish suede Cole Haan sandals that have a cutesy woven block heel that will keep you boogeying all night long without having to take off your shoes halfway through the evening. Promising review: "So comfortable and looks great on my feet." —AnonymousPrice: $89.99+ (originally $115, available in sizes 5–11 and 15 colors) A pair of Crocs recovery slides perfect for those who want to feel like they're walking on ~clouds~ while making sure their soles are suitably supported. I can't promise they'll help you recover from your last failed dating app date, but they'll sure keep your feet in recovery mode after wearing heels for literally no reason other than a wasted night out. (I get it, dw!) Price: $48.71+ (available in sizes 5–13 and six colors) An adorable pair of vibrant, bowed kitten-heel sandals that are so perfect for the summer. Whether you're headed to a formal event or brunch with your bestie, these beauties will leave everyone asking, "AHH, are those designer?!" on repeat. Promising review: "These shoes are so cute. The bows are fluffy and big. The heel is translucent and less than 2 inches. Very comfortable. I find these true to size. They fit perfectly. I will be buying the black pair also." —LilyPrice: $90 (available in sizes 6–11 and 14 colors/patterns) A pair of pink Crocs flip-flops with all of the comfort that the iconic brand is known for. They're ultra-lightweight (yay for both your feet and suitcase when traveling) and will become your new summer go-to. Promising review: "These are the best flip-flops ever. Perfect for wide feet and excellent arch support. I need to get several more of them! Be warned, though, just like all Crocs, they will shrink if left out in the sun or in a hot car. Use a hairdryer to re-stretch them and they are good as new." —LauraPrice: $29.99 (available in sizes 6–11) A pair of Dr. Martens gladiator sandals for those who exclusively wear the boots during the fall and winter, but know you need something more lightweight in the summertime. Plus, if they're anything like the boots (I mean, why wouldn't they be?), these bbs will last you for literal decades. Price: $133 (available in sizes 5–11) A block-heeled peep-toe sandal that will elevate any outfit without killing your soles. The supportive 2-inch heel is low enough so you can walk in these all day while still taking your look to the ~next level.~ Price: $99.95 (available in sizes 6–11 and three colors) Or a pair of comfy leather platform slides with a stylish (and supportive!) block heel so you can tromp through the city or dance the night away while still looking super cute.

Birkenstock slashes the price of its iconic Arizona sandals by 23%
When it comes to summer a pair of Birkenstock Arizonas are the top choice for most of us, and you can currently save £25 on them thanks to Schuh's summer sale With the sun set to return (hopefully) any day now and another mini heatwave on the horizon, we're still firmly in the throes of sandal season, and there's one pair that you'll have seen every fashion editor and celebrity wearing year after year; the Birkenstock Arizona sandals. Everyone from Kendall Jenner to Drew Barrymore and Kate Hudson have been spotted wearing a pair over the years, cementing them as the go-to style for fashion lovers everywhere. Although they're more affordable than most A-lister's purchases, their £105 price tag can still be a little steep for some. That's why now is the perfect time to get your hands on a pair, as Schuh has just knocked a huge 23% off them in its summer sale. Now available for £79.99, the discount will save you £25. You can choose from six different colours, although it's worth noting that not all of them are on sale, whilst others have a slightly lower discount applied to them. There are also several other Birkenstock colour options available on Schuh to shop, some with a discount of up to 26%. However it's the khaki pair that are on sale for £79.99, and it's the perfect versatile colourway that will go with everything. Not quite as harsh as black or as difficult to co-ordinate with as some of the bolder shades, the khaki green pair look timeless and sophisticated, and work with just about any other colour in your wardrobe. The Arizona Oiled Leather Sandals are made with premium leather uppers in the signature two-strap design, which fasten with a fully adjustable buckle. The other Birkenstock trademark is the contoured footbed, which contours to your feet over time for a personalised fit that makes them extra comfortable to wear. If you want a slightly more affordable pair, Hush Puppies' Blaire Mule Sandals are priced at £60 and have an almost identical look, with a moulded cork footbed and double strap fastening. The straps are made from real leather with a soft suede finish to ensure there's no rubbing, and shoppers have praised them in reviews for how comfortable and easy to wear they are. Elsewhere New Look has its own high street version, with the Cream Faux Leather Buckled Strap Sandals coming in at a very affordable £16.99. They're part of New Look's Comfort range, which feature cushioned padding, softer linings and flexible soles, and have faux leather straps. However if you've always wanted a pair of Birkenstock Arizona sandals to add to your collection, Schuh's summer sale is the perfect opportunity. They're currently still available in all sizes from a 3 to an 8, and you can pick up larger sizes in the identical men's version, which is also on sale.
