Okay, question: How long would you stick around reading Shoewawa if I told you these leather thong sandals were on sale at ASOS right now for the paltry sum of £8? Yeah, I figure you've probably departed by now, to snap up a pair for yourself - the sacrifices I make to bring you great shoes, huh? (But I'm also hoping you'll return later, to read about more fab shoes...)
ASOS have taken a simple design and added a few extras on the back of the shoe to make them more interesting than your average flip flop, and as you can see from the picture on the right, they look really lovely on the foot. They're available in four colourways - gold, turquoise, dark pewter and orange - and, as I said before, they're just 8 quid, which is a great price for some good-looking real leather sandals (as you can see, I'm having a hard time believing that part!)

So £110 on a pair of deck shoes sounds a lot, but it's easy to see that the 'build quality' of these shoes is really something, and the leather (which My Wardrobe's writers describe very eloquently as "squashy") looks so soft I almost want to curl up inside them!
Whichever shade you go for, the bright, juicy colours make perfect comfy-chic beach shoes and I'm a particular fan of the green, which when viewed up close looks the exact shade of freshly mown lawn. £110 at My-Wardrobe

While Steph and her feet were dreaming away of those Fendi platform ankle boots on the hottest day of the year so far, me and my own tootsies can't think of anything else but heatwave-busting strappy sandals! And the conclusion we (my feet and I, obvs) have come to is this: The less material, the better.
These Jessica Simpson gold sandals fulfill this wish nicely - there's not much in the way of material or straps which equals happy (and airy) feet. Yay. They are £54 from ASOS.

In my seemingly never-ending quest for the perfect summer sandals, I have managed to uncover a gem (ha!) in these Diego Dolcini Swarovski crystal flats. They're sparkly without being at all garish, and with my Ibiza holiday looming, they're the perfect sandals for teaming with a pretty maxi dress and soaking up the sunset at Cafe Del Mar.
With a leather upper and an ankle strap with side buckle, they are not only pretty but practical too. If you're as much of a fan as me, you'll be pleased to know they have 50% off right now and are down to £304 at Farfetch.

So it looks like sandal weather is officially here, if the heatwave reports are anything to go by.
Just in time, Urban Outfitters have brought us these studded gladiator sandals. By London Rebel they feature studs, jewels, beads, riveting and buckles - maybe slightly inspired by Balmain's famous heels methinks?
Get them here for £40 to give a rock edge to your floral dresses, or just team them with shorts and a tee for simple summer cool.

No one ever said casual had to be boring, and these ' SuedeTap Jazz Pumps' from Office certainly aren't.
They also happen to be, teal, my favourite colour. Flat and comfy looking, but still interesting and stylish, I'd say these are the perfect example of a casual shoe. Well for me at least, because these would be the most casual I'd ever get!
Plus they're currently on sale in Office, down from £35 to £20! Could they get any better? I think not.

Please don't tell me you've still got your poor feet caged up in your winter boots or autumn's now-very-scraggly ballet flats. C'mon guys, they deserve better! They deserve something along the lines of these cute polka dot and heart print Manhattan sandals by Sugar, which are too adorable for words and will also allow your feet to experience the sunshine and air they've been missing for way too long. Give your toes a slick of bright pink or coral varnish and they won't know what's hit them.
The sandals are on sale now for just £15 from Office. Most sizes were left last we checked, so be quick!
