'These heeled Timberland sandals are so comfy I've been wearing them all heatwave week'
The sunny weather and rising temperatures means its the time to get your favourite sandals out of the wardrobe. Gone are the days of wearing thick socks and warm boots, we're all looking for the perfect pair of open-toed shoes to keep our feet from feeling the heat in this summery weather. And I think I've found the perfect pair.
I recently added these Allington Heights Fisherman Sandals from Timberland to my summer shoe collection, and I haven't taken them off since. Coming in fashionable black or brown, these leather sandals boast all of the stability and durability of the classic Timberland boot, with a chic amd trendy sandal design that makes them perfect for this spring heatwave.
These Fisherman Sandals feature an upper made with Premium Timberland leather that makes them stylish and versatile, offering plenty of potential to dress up or down for various occasions. They also have an adjustable buckle closure, which I've found eternally useful as someone with wider feet but fairly narrow ankles. Plus, they're super easy to slide on and off, making them a great pick whether you're heading out for dinner or spending the day by the sea.
Equipped with synthetic suede lining that ensures the leather straps don't chaff on particularly hot days. But the crown jewel of these shoes is the OrthoLite footbed that offers unbelieavable comfort that trumps any pair of heeled sandals I've owned before.
The OrthoLite comfort foam insoles are super lightweight, and they helpfully provide moisture transport, unlike alternative sandal designs, ensuring your feet don't go slipping and sliding when they start sweating. Armed with antimicrobial function, and long-term cushioning, these soles are made from ultra-breathable material that won't break down or lose cushioning over time, keeping your footwear comfortable and supportive with the added assurety of longevity - so these beauties can make a reappearance next summer and the summer after, etc.
I found that there's no need to break them in and I haven't experienced any rubbing or discomfort in the two weeks I've been wearing them non-stop - even when my feet have been feeling the heatwave temperatures.
Thanks to the rubber lug outsole, you get all the grip and stability you'd find with traditional Timberland boots, which has come in handy this spring as the weather remains a bit unpredictable - so I've not had to worry about losing my footing when sudden showers arrive. Plus, if you're like me and don't tend to wear heels often, the added grip helps make you feel more stable with every step. Though the heel may look high, I've found that I don't even notice the added height while I'm wearing them - they're that comfortable.
The addition of the fashionable strap design and elevated heel makes them a great choice for all occasions, from casual outtings to summer events - all while keeping your feet comfortable and your outfit on point.
Retailing for £120, you may want to hurry to secure your size, as my new favourite sandals are selling out quickly in certain measurements. You can pick up a pair directly from Timberland's store, from Very for the reduced price of £96 or from Freeman's for £115.

Harry's like vacuous Meghan's hostage-in-the-attic – he's so lost he ruins EVERYTHING he touches, expert slams
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) PRINCE Harry acts like Meghan's hostage-in-the-attic and ruins everything he touches, an expert has claimed. The Sussexes announced yesterday they signed a new "multi-year, first look deal" with Netflix to produce "film and television projects".

In harsh comments, she claimed Harry has "no value in terms of entertainment". "Harry is in the attic, he's a hostage, and thankfully he chewed through his leash just in time to make an appearance in the season two trailer," she told The Sun's royal editor Matt Wilkinson. "But he is nowhere to be seen. Yes, obviously, he's dealing with the fallout from his charity and trying to find his own thing. "But the man is lost. I mean, he's really trying to find his feet. "He has a kind of brown Midas touch, which I'm sure the viewers can infer what I mean by that. "And really, this creative side of this endeavor has really been Meghan's push." The expert added that she's interested to see how the Duchess handles directing - having remained in front of the camera on previous projects. Ms Krakue claimed the actress is used to being a "b-list presence in Hollywood", who remained in the "background". "If I was a Netflix executive and I was negotiating this new non-deal with Harry and Meghan," she continued. Harry & Meghan were 'not in a strong position' & signed Netflix deal for 'much less'… TV giant 'did it for publicity' "I'd probably want to throw my shoe at Harry because at least Meghan is entertaining in the sense that she's so vacuous, it's almost like you marvel at it. "But Harry's not a creative and he's never had anything in this industry. "And I think because he's come from a world where everyone fawns at everything that he does because he's Prince Harry. Ms Krakue highlighted Harry's Polo documentary flop "that really just didn't connect". 9 Prince Harry's polo documentary was watched by just 500,000 people Credit: Reuters 9 The couple trashed the Royal Family in their 2022 docuseries Credit: NETFLIX 9 The couple have signed a new deal with the streaming giant Credit: Splash The broadcaster estimated the streaming giant should have "sunk" it's funds into Meghan instead. "Even though she's not entertaining the way that she thinks she is," Ms Krakue added. "Harry just has, there's just nothing to him in terms of entertainment value. "And I think this is probably why Netflix are like, yeah, let's deal with the wife." It was previously thought that the Sussexes' £74million deal with the streamer was not going to be renewed. Harry's vanity project, Polo, about the sport, was watched by just 500,000 people. But it was also understood that bosses were mildly infuriated by Meghan making her As Ever brand a priority. 'Meghan & Harry need to come up with a hit soon' By Matt Wilkinson JUST when you thought it was safe to turn the telly on again... Harry and Meghan are back. And their multi-year renewal with Netflix means they are not going away anytime soon. There have been tense negotiations in recent weeks but Netflix is so deeply involved with Meghan's As Ever brand it was always likely that the streaming giants would want them back. Make no mistake, Harry and Meghan would have been desperate for the deal to be renewed. They will likely be opening a bottle or two of As Ever Rose in Montecito. Because they have invested heavily in Archewell Productions and getting on board with Netflix is central not only to their post-Royal endeavours but more importantly crucial to their bank accounts. If they lost their Netflix money then how could they afford their life in the US? While the length of the deal or how much the couple are getting paid is vague we do know that Meghan will appear in a 'holiday special' in December that will likely clash with the Princess of Wales's annual Christmas carol concert at Westminster Abbey. And finally, two years after I revealed in The Sun the couple had bought the rights to the book Meet Me At The Lake, production is in active development. Sources close to the couple are coy about whether Harry or Meghan will appear on screen for the production of Masaka Kids, A Rhythm Within which will air later this year. But perhaps the best piece of news from the announcement is no repeat of the six-part documentary which dumped on the Royal Family. However, 'Harry & Meghan' was a ratings dream and none of their projects since have been anywhere as successful. They need to come up with a hit soon. And this 'first look' deal means Netflix has the first option on new projects from the couple without any guaranteed commitment. But remember the Sussexes are not the only Royals to be in bed with Netflix. The King will feature in a documentary on The King's Foundation with Idris Elba. The With Love, Meghan viewing figures have reportedly been "dismal". The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have previously released a number of shows on the platform, including a 2022 documentary on their lives and lifestyle show With Love, Meghan this year. They had secured a lucrative five-year contract - thought to be worth more than $100 million (£74 million) - with Netflix after quitting as senior working royals in 2020. However, a new deal has been signed for "much less", an insider told Page Six. Meghan said in a statement: 'We're proud to extend our partnership with Netflix and expand our work together to include the As Ever brand. "My husband and I feel inspired by our partners who work closely with us and our Archewell Productions team to create thoughtful content across genres that resonates globally, and celebrates our shared vision.' 'DOWNGRADE' Netflix will only pay for projects they want to screen, rather than pay in a single multi-million pound agreement like the one signed in 2020, The Sun understands. The Sun can also reveal, however, that the streaming giants will cover Archewell Productions's overheads, including all costs for its offices and staff. The new deal was also described as a "downgrade" by PR expert Mark Borkowski. He told the Mail: "I think Netflix has done a very neat job of pivoting away from two very expensive people who didn't deliver, and they've taken that deal off the table, and they've given them a modest one. "It's not like they're gradually uncoupling – it's a downgrade. Netflix are not going to expose themselves to those budgets again. It's Netflix saying, 'Let's have a look at your content, but we'll pick and choose, mate'." CRINGE NEW TRAILER This comes as mum-of-two Meghan teased a new trailer for her critically panned Netflix show. Footage showed the Duchess with a host of famous guests speaking about how she "loves finding new ways to show people she cares" ahead of the release of the second series of With Love, Meghan on August 26. The show's second series claims it will be "fun and heartwarming", with plethora of celebrity guests due to make their appearance. This includes model Chrissy Teigen, podcast pal Jamie Kern Lima, and Netflix Queer Eye star Tan France. Meghan can be seen laughing alongside guests at her luxury Montecito home in the trailer, even joking at the end about Prince Harry's lack of love for lobster. Speaking to Chef Andrés, she says: "You know who doesn't like lobster? My husband." In response, the chef light-heartedly retorts: "And you married him anyway?" In one cringey moment during the trailer, in which she is seen cooking and baking with celebrity friends, the Duchess of Sussex also says: "I love the idea of just spending time together... and finding new ways to show people you care." She adds: "There are easy ways to show up, lovingly." On top of Season 2 of With Love, Meghan - which will drop later this month - the couple will also film a "Holiday Celebration" Christmas special. The couple will also release a short film called "Masaka Kids, A Rhythm Within" which will look at Uganda's Masaka region and the HIV/AIDS crisis there. This has echoes of Harry's mum Diana's work, who pioneered social change on perceptions of HIV/AIDS. 9 The second season Meghan Markle's show With Love, Meghan is due to be released on August 26 Credit: JAKE ROSENBERG/NETFLIX 9 The trailer sees Meghan cooking, baking and creating drinks with celebrity friends Credit: COURTESY OF NETFLIX

All the hidden details in Meghan's trailer you might have missed: From a sweet nod to Lilibet, a glimpse of Archie's favourite snack (and a surprise cameo from a special family member)
Meghan Markle's latest cooking show series is on the horizon for this month - as a flower petal, artisanal plate filled trailer dropped on Netflix last night. But beyond the glamorous glasses of wine and bougie treats on display in the sleek modern California kitchen being used for filming, eagle-eyed viewers have spotted fun details many might have missed on first watch.
