‘Jesus sandals’, as they were commonly referred to not so many moons ago, says everything you need to know about the style of open shoe once favoured by clueless men every summer: bulky, brown boats stuck to the end of pale, thin stems that did nothing to flatter one’s feet.
Thank heavens, then, that discerning gentlemen have been sent a clear sign from above to stop the madness. With more choice than ever available for us chaps, we no longer have to punish ourselves by stuffing our trotters into tasteless crimes against fashion, with a wealth of different styles out there to shop that are altogether more delicate.
