If you’re a fan of counting your steps, then you need a pair of sandals that you can walk comfortably in. No one wants to be that person who has to carry a pair of trainers they can “swap” into when they need to walk anywhere further than the office tea point.

Thankfully, this summer the gorpcore trend is continuing to thrive, with a plethora of sandals fusing function with fashion. Think orthopedic insoles, shock-absorbing padding and cool-strap detailing that add a striking contrast to bright summer clothing. Best of all, they mean you don’t have to lug around a second pair of practical shoes. Whether you’re on a city break or hiking in the mountains, these are sandals designed to offer the upmost support.
