After what feels like an eternity, the days are getting longer and spring is just around the corner, when sandals will be firmly on our feet.

Like most trends for spring 2021, they’re all about comfort. We’re ditching heels and awkward fits for cushioned soles, texture and sporty shoes, ensuring we’ll be strutting with ease this summer.

Practical doesn’t always mean boring however and these sandals certainly aren’t. From bright red, to pastel shades, we’ve included some colourful options for those who are that way inclined, while minimalists will also find something to tickle their fancy.
