Summer will come very soon and along with it, the weakening of the self-isolation regime - within reasonable limits, of course. We chose twenty-five pairs of shoes that look beautiful and will certainly come in handy for walking both in the city and in nature - if you can safely get out to the country, for example. It's nice that the main trend in this area is now aimed at absolute comfort.
Mesh and hand techniques
Topshop, £ 22
Monki, $ 35
& Other Stories, $ 129
Various weaving techniques have made their way to shoes. Ballerinas, loafers, mules with mesh tops are perhaps one of the most noticeable trends this spring-summer. Wear them with oversized panama hats, raffia bags and fishnet dresses to keep your course closer to nature, or alternatively with jeans, basic sweatshirts and backpacks for a bit of modernity.
Sneakers and tennis shoes
Tretorn, $ 65
Converse, € 90
Almost every summer we look back on the trend for canvas sneakers, a durable yet lightweight material that's great for dry weather. At the same time, sneakers can be both high and low. First of all, we advise you to pay attention to brands like Tretorn, Superga, Keds or Converse, which have long gone to incredible heights in the production of such shoes. You can wear them with anything - personally, we are especially impressed by the combination of high sneakers and pantaloons.
Jumper Slippers & Sandals
Mango, 6499 rub.
Zara, 2999 rub.
Arket, € 175
The trend for shoes akin to the 90s, like sandals with a bridge between the thumb and second toe, is not losing ground. Endless archival footage of actresses Gwyneth Paltrow and Carolyn Bessett-Keneddy can be used as inspiration. This summer, all brands seem to have conspired to release such slippers with a glass-heel or platform. If convenience is your all, you better pay attention to the options with a flat sole. And yes, they can be worn in the city as well.
Fishing sandals
ASOS, 1390 RUB.
Church's, 35 586 rubles.
Not so long ago we wrote about the main hit of this summer - rough "fishing sandals". Their disadvantage is that at first such shoes can chafe - we advise you to stock up on a special pencil and plasters just in case. The most chic is to wear them with beautiful monochrome socks, such as embossed white or beige.
Sports sandals
Zara, 3599 rub.
Monki, $ 40
Ganni, 19 195 rub.
Another greetings from the 90s and early 2000s - sports sandals with Velcro and rubberized soles. Mass-market sandals are great for the city, but if you want footwear for a hike or to go to the mountains, of course, it is better to get a pair in specialized sports stores or search online for the keywords "hiking sandals". By the way, this is a great option for those who did not know what shoes to combine cycling shorts with. In order to recreate the spirit of the times, they can also be worn with maxi skirts and dresses.
