Summers Best Sandals
Summer has finally decided to grace us with its presence here on the emerald isle and what a pretty place it can be when the sun comes out the rain stops and the sky turns from grey to blue. Getting my legs out of their almost eternal hibernation and reintroducing them to the light of day is akin to a snake shedding its skin and is extremely liberating (and i’m sure slightly freakish for onlookers, my legs have become so white after endless months behind shrouds of denim and cotton mixes that they have a distinctive blue hue and reflect every ray of sunshine from them glowing like two strange, white beacons in the sun). The most gratifying part to a warm summers day for me is, however, casting the trainers to one side and dusting off the sandals. Theres nothing quite like feeling the air around your feet and between your toes. Don’t get me wrong I hate feet, they freak me out, i just love the feeling of freedom you get when you walk around barefoot. Prancing around barefoot on the concrete and tar mac outside and feeling the grass through my toes on the lawn may be great in the sanctuary of my home however pounding the pavements is a little more treacherous for the soles. On finding out today that i have lost the flop, thats the one for the right foot, of my old and reliable not to mention ridiculously comfy Abercrombie and Fitch brown leather braided flip flops, i loved those, i was forced to go shopping for replacements, so heres some of my picks from the best sandals around (flats of course i’m talking freedom, not pain)...
Don’t forget the nail polish, its amazing how shiny shades can distract from the freaky ugliness of feet, engineered genius and amazingly multifunctional they may be but pretty they are not. These sandals are though...
