One of the foxiest shoes on the planet is a high-heeled sandal. You see them on the feet of all the fashionistas and leading ladies on the catwalk, red carpet and wherever the it crowd gathers. And high-heeled sandals have never been more in than they are today. A growing number of fashion designers are throwing their name into the ring when it comes to shoe production – meaning the range of high-heeled sandals on offer is more diverse than ever before.
If you’re after high-heeled sandals for work, try a pair of Fendi’s three-colour patent leather sandals, Roberto Cavalli’s knotted leather sandals or some strappy high-heeled sandals by Michael Kors. For a look that’s more about having fun than the 9-to-5 grind, seek out the Perlita t-bar sandal from Miss Sixty, a pair of Firetrap’s floral slingbacks or the delicate Pomelo Rita sandals in subtle metallic shades. And finally, if you’re after a pair of classy high-heel sandals for a more formal occasion, hunt down a pair of Kurt Gieger’s gorgeous grass green Destiny sandals or a pair of glittering Manolo Blahnik jewelled sandals.
An increasing number of designers make mini-me versions of their most popular sandals for little girls. Check out the selection on offer from DKNY, Kors Kids by Michael Kors and Dolce & Gabbana. Most of the little girls versions of these designer sandals aren’t high-heels as such, but lower wedge heels and pumps for added stability.
High-heel sandals for all occasions are easy to find online – but it’s always best to choose a reputable retailer with a clear return/exchange policy. Also, particularly where high-end designer brands are concerned, you’re parting with a lot of money so it’s best to know what you’re getting, so visit a local retailer to get acquainted with the merchandise so you know what to expect. And always choose a retailer who offers a guarantee of authenticity.
