These $42 Sandals Are Olsen-Approved and Perfect for Long Walks
"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links."
There are few things I wouldn't do to possess the style and credit card limit to facilitate dressing like Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen. At various points in their decade-spanning careers as actors-turned-fashion designers they have inspired me to bash up my designer handbags, put loads of tiny, sparkly butterfly clips in my hair and spend way too much money on the 'perfect' white T-shirt.$42.00 at amazon.com
And since my budget can far from stretch to include The Row's Ginza or Fisherman sandals, it was a no-brainer to opt for Mary-Kate-approved Teva Voya Infinity sandals. And let me tell you: they have proved to be the most practical, affordable and downright useful summer shoes I own.
Back in 2019, the younger of the twins was spotted out wearing the $42 sandals a few times, and they have become a cult favorite ever since then. Thanks to their foam-cushioned base and elasticated straps, they are extremely comfortable, while still being extremely chic. Mary Kate wore hers with cropped trousers and baggy hoodies, but they really work with everything from hiking gear to linen dresses.
With many embarking on the beginning of their Euro summer holidays, where 15k step days are standard fare and day-to-night dressing is actually a thing, Teva's Voya Infinity sandals are a wise purchase. And they are still in stock—for the time being—on Amazon right now.

Downton Abbey 3 Isn't Bringing Back Matthew Goode, But I Actually Like His Reasoning For Why This Is ‘A Really Positive Thing'
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. By the time Downton Abbey, one of the great Peak TV era shows, ended in 2015, Michelle Dockery's Lady Mary Talbot had been lucky enough to find love again, this time with Matthew Goode's Henry Talbot. The two of them were even expecting a child, and we got to meet little Caroline alongside her parents in the 2019 Downton Abbey movie. However, Henry wasn't around in 2022's Downton Abbey: A New Era and also won't appear in Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale, one of the later 2025 movie releases. However, Goode sees his absence this time around as a 'really positive thing' for a specific reason, and I have to say, I like the way he's thinking. As far as why Goode isn't appearing in Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale, it boiled down to scheduling conflicts, as he told THR that he was busy filming the British crime thriller series Dept. Q. The actor also mentioned that even if he had been able to carve out time, there was only 'half a page' of material for him. Goode continued: And actually, I said, you know what? Why can't this be a really positive thing? Because I don't know what they're doing. They might kill [Henry]! I didn't see the script. But it's a wonderful opportunity — [Mary, Michelle Dockery's character] is like this modern feminist icon and in a weird way, maybe she doesn't need a fella. Maybe Downton's enough or maybe some old suitor will come in. Now, it opens up the story to have something significant happen. Why have Henry come? I will admit that the idea of Mary losing another husband doesn't sit too well with me. Downton Abbey fans (who can currently revisit the show with a Peacock subscription) will obviously remember that Dan Stevens' Matthew Crawley was her chief love interest during the show's first three seasons, but he died in a car crash on the way home after seeing his newborn son in the hospital. In fact, Henry being a race car driver was the main reason Mary initially broke off her romantic relationship with him, as she couldn't bear the thought of losing another husband in a car crash. More on Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale Downton Abbey 3 Was Always Going To Be Difficult Without Maggie Smith, And Paul Giamatti Confirms 'It Was Not The Same' Downton Abbey 3's Michelle Dockery On The 'Beautiful' Third Movie And Honoring Maggie Smith But putting that aside, Mary did just fine without Henry by her side in A New Era, with his absence in that movie being attributed to him participating at a racing event in Istanbul. If Matthew Goode's musing that Henry Talbot could be killed off is correct, it's not like Mary is lacking in a support system to help her through this new round of grief, between her parents, sister, brother-in-law, the family's staff, the list goes on. My only request is that if Henry does indeed shuffle off this mortal coil, don't let it be from a car crash. It's also possible that nothing bad's going to happen to Henry, and whatever his small role would have been in Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale would simply have set up the reason for his exit. In any case, I'm ok with not seeing Mary with Henry again, nor do I need to see her take up another suitor. With this being the final film in the Downton Abbey franchise, I'd much rather see her spending as much time as possible with her family and other loved ones in her life. Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale opens in theaters on September 12. For the Matthew Goode fans out there, you're also welcome to watch him play Detective Carl Morck in Dept. Q, which can now be streamed with a Netflix subscription.

We can learn a lot from our presidents — even the ones you don't like
Commanding personalities As summer approaches, don't forget your history. Here's a presidential lesson or two. John Quincy Adams — despite his great last name — was fierce, haughty, unforgiving. Also cold, austere. Swam naked every morning in the Potomac. Nice. Would make Putin look like a Hallmark valentine. Cuddly Andrew Jackson. 'Old Hickory' resolved differences with fists and a sword. Think Nancy Pelosi in long drawers. Advertisement Martin Van Buren. Smooth talker, perfumed dandy, loved making speeches. 1837 William Henry Harrison about whom even Mrs. Harrison couldn't remember. James Polk. Democrat. In his early days, palled around with Francis Scott Key, 'The Star-Spangled Banner' author. Wherever they are now they're toasting Taylor Swift. Advertisement 1841, VP John Tyler suddenly becomes president. Mild-mannered. Constituents fretted he's incapable of running the country. During his tenure 618 banks closed. One term only. He has since reappeared in the persona of Hunter Biden's daddy. Zachary Taylor. Helped establish the Panama Canal which now we're trying to schlep back from Panama. Millard Fillmore. Nothing about him that worked except that he finally got out of office. I mean where are you going with the name Millard? Advertisement James Buchanan. His book was titled 'Mr. Buchanan's Administration on the Eve of Rebellion.' Only dogs pored over it. Abraham Lincoln. Nine thousand movies made about him. Now the subject of the about-to-win-a-Tony 'Oh, Mary!' Everybody's played him but Dolly Parton. Andrew Johnson had a tailor shop. So did my grandfather. Johnson became president. My grampa not. Ulysses S. Grant's political knowledge — small. Booze intake — LARGE. Had he exhaled the Rockies would've been pebbles. Advertisement James Garfield. Republican. July '81 shot by a crazed disappointed office-seeker. Chester Arthur. Told, 'drop the nomination as you would a red-hot shoe from the forge.' His run for the nomination halfhearted. Grover Cleveland. Ran amok. Fathered an illegitimate child. Opposition slogan was: 'Ma, ma, where's my pa?' William McKinley. Shot in the abdomen by an anarchist in Buffalo. Theodore Roosevelt. Republican. Larger-than-life leader who faced obstacles head-on. Said was: 'He's not an American. He is America.' 1909-1913 the 27th president was William Howard Taft. Republican. He called the White House 'the loneliest place in the world.' Advertisement Be it known that Abraham Lincoln once said: 'A woman is the only thing I am afraid of that I know will not hurt me.' Yeah? Well, somewhere he should see B'way's 'Oh, Mary!' get its Tony. Only in America, kids, only in America.
