These Zara Sandals Look Like Your Designer Favourites – But They Start At Just £20

Zara knows a thing or two about creating a viral hit. There was the gingham co-ord that nailed spring’s picnic-style trend, and the balloon-leg jeans that have only grown in popularity since their release. But this season, it’s not the denim section we expect to dominate - it’s Zara’s sandal lineup that’s quietly stealing the show.

If you love The Row or Hermès but don’t love the price tags, we can all but guarantee you’ll find a pair of Zara sandals that closely resemble designer silhouettes - all at far more accessible price points. Take Zara’s Criss-Cross Leather Slider Sandals as a prime example. A dead ringer for the viral Hermès Oran sandal, they’re miraculously still in stock after countless fashion insiders snapped up a pair the moment they dropped online.

Alternatively, if you’re just looking for a trendy shoe to see you through the summer, opt for the style set’s favourite: toe-ring sandals, which have made a welcome return for spring and summer. Fisherman-style sandals have also made a strong comeback this year, with one suede pair from Zara leading the charge - and, unsurprisingly, selling out at record speed.

No matter which style or trend you’re leaning into, there’s no need to splurge on designer. Shop the best Zara sandals now - your wardrobe (and your bank balance) will thank you.

What style of sandals are most comfortable?

Comfort is key when it comes to choosing a pair of sandals that will get you through city breaks, beach holidays and park strolls. The most comfortable sandals are those with cushioned footbeds arch support, or a chunky sole. You'll also find that soft straps and a free toe box will enhance your comfort, and luckily enough, most Zara sandals tend to tick this box anyway.
