A pair "dreamy" River Island open-toed sandals are ideal for the summer, and are "nicer than Hermès" - at a fraction of the price. The Black Leather Flat Sandals , from the high-street fashion retailer, are a true investment piece as the weather gets nicer, with a square-shaped open toe and a flat sole, making them easy and comfortable to slip on and off - as well as perfect for showing off your summer pedicure. But what really sets these sandals apart, from both luxury brands and other high-street options, is the "beautiful" stretch bracelet gold strap detail across the arch of the feet, taking the footwear effortlessly from days around the pool, to nights out in a more sophisticated, dressed-up outfit.
The River Island shoes are not dissimilar to the iconic Hermès Oran sandal, which retail at an eye-watering £610. But the best part is, this high-street lookalike will only cost you £30 for a pair - just five per cent of what you would pay for the designer option. In fact, with eight different colour options available at River Island - including a bold leopard print - you could buy a pair of these sandals in every colour, and still pay less than half the price that one pair would cost you at Hermès, reports the Mirror .
Furthermore, for the bargain £30 that you can grab these sandals for, it would be easy to assume that they are not, in fact, genuine leather - but you'd be mistaken. The River Island website boasts that these shoes are made from "responsibly sourced" .
