Sick Of Poolslides? Here Are Some Ace Alternative Sandals

And what's more, loads of them are in the sale. Hurrah!

Tee hee. Not literally. But with Office's Marni-esque Hologram Two Strap Sandal in Gold, £45 your feet will shine like the sun.

Ancient Greek are a favourite for unique and decorative sandals. These Fteroti Leather Sandals £135 at MATCHESFASHION.COM fit the bill. Now you just need to find an Adonis to feed you grapes.

Then you'll love Natalie, £80. She's Kurt Geiger's black suede clodhopper and looks very Céline-esque.

Put down your Rainbow Loom (surely this summer's funnest hobby) and look to some woven sandals, instead. Zara's monochrome Braided Flat Sole Sandals£19.99 in the sale are a bit tribal and a lot chic.

A pair of tan leather sandals which lace up your calf are the minimalist's statement shoe. Not for those nervous of calf, but ASOS's Fairy Leather Flat Sandals £18 are excellent value for those (us) who love this kind of sandal.

In these cherry red, sensible two-strap Henry Geek Sandals £24 from Topshop. Perfect for wafting around French fromage markets and looking generally adorable.

These H&M Sandals £9.99 are very 'Elle Macpherson on a yacht'. Minimally strappy with a sliver of silver, they're chic and grown-up and less than a blinking tenner.

The Birkenstock silhouette is a mainstay in the summer shoe arena, with lots of high street stores aping the Birk design. River Island's Brown Leopard Print Double Strap Sandals are just £15 and give your feet their welcome dose of leopard.

If you like fuss-free footwear and strong shapes, New Look's Black Double Buckle Cuff Sandals £19.99 are a super duper option.

Valentino Rockstud's range is the stuff of myth - with prices starting at around £500. But these Rockstud Neon PVS Sandals £80 are half price at Net-a-porter.com... and well worth it if you're a fan of the day-glo.
