As a serial flats wearer, I've been patiently waiting for a comfortable summer shoe to find mainstream favour—and that day has finally come. I can't go more than a few scrolls down my Instagram feed at the moment without seeing at least one fashion influencer sporting a pair of Havaianas flip flops, signalling that the humble minimalist shoe is here to stay.
I've always found summer sandals to be particularly tricky to shop for; very few are as supportive and practical as trainers, particularly if you live in a city and spend a lot of time on your feet. Add even more complications to the mix when you're packing for a holiday where you'll be faced with several different terrains in one day.
