After a new pair of sandals? This pair have been ranked the comfiest

Metro journalists select and curate the products that feature on our site. If you make a purchase via links on this page we will earn commission – learn more When it comes to holidays – whether that's a city break or beachside escape, I tend to opt for comfort over style, and if that means donning a pair of trainers in favour of sandals, then so be it. Why? It's simple. I can rely on trainers to support me through day after day of walking without a sore toe or blister in sight, and I've simply never found the sandal I can rely on to do the same. Until now. On a recent doomscroll, I came across TikTok user Talia Mayden's (@there_y0u_are) 'investigative' series on finding the perfect 'ultimate city summer shoe'. This shoe needed to be comfy enough to walk in on a summer day for over 25k steps and needed to show some skin (no trainers). Think: flats, Mary Janes, etc. And after vigorous, in-depth reviewing, there was just one winner: the Camper Dana Sandals. These sleek sandals have been crafted from calfskin leather, with OrthoLite® Recycled™ footbeds and XL EXTRALIGHT® EVA outsoles for total comfort. shop £115 These cross-strap sandals feature the same ultra-comfortable fit but with sleek cross front detailing. shop £92 (save £23) Available in a cross-front and standard design, these sleek sandals won the comfort crown, and had shoppers flocking to grab the 'ultimate city summer shoe' for themselves. Talia said in her video: 'No breaking in, straight out the box I ripped 10k, and I wouldn't change a thing.' While she later says that both styles are equally as comfortable, it's the standard toe strap pair that she loves first as she raves of its impressive arch support and sturdy heel, finishing that they're 'so comfortable'. @there_y0u_are ultimate city summer shoe reveal!!!! special thanks to @hereu_ @nomasei_paris @Carel Paris @FitFlop @Maison Margiela @Camper @TORY BURCH @ECCO @Coclico @margaux @bassike new york girls, paris girls, london girls, tokyo girls…i have your new walking shoe 💋 ♬ original sound – talia mayden These sleek sandals have been crafted from calfskin leather, with OrthoLite® Recycled™ footbeds and XL EXTRALIGHT® EVA outsoles for total comfort. The Camper Dana Sandals also feature an ultra-wearable heel that makes them as chic for daytime stomping as they are for evening plans. Unsurprisingly, the sandals have been flying of the shelf since Talia revealed them as a must-have, but there's still a few colourways remaining if you, like me, can't resist getting your hands on them. But as with any viral item, you'll have to be quick. Not ready to just take one person's word on it? The sandals have received hundreds of impressive reviews, too, from users who call them 'incredibly comfortable and style' and 'so walkable'. More Trending 'Amazingly comfortable,' one reviewer raved, 'you can wear them and walk in them all day!' Another added: 'Love. So comfortable and cute. I would buy in more colours if it was possible!' 'It is one of the best shoes I ever had! Great fit for a wide foot. Very elegant and mixable with lots of styles. Love it!' Wrote a third.

Fashion Is Devouring Itself: Gucci's 2015 Best-Selling Shoes Are Already Back On My Wish List

Never in a million years did I think I'd be longing - actually pining - to climb back onto a bandwagon I once watched barrel past, but here we are: I want the Gucci Princetown mules again. Yes, those ridiculous, sublime, backless loaferswith a furry trim. The ones that, for a few delirious years between 2015 and 2019, shod the feet of anyone with even half a claim to knowing what fashion was. At the time, there wasn't a shoe I could have wanted more, but unlike my peers - who snapped them up like they were boarding passes to Alessandro Michele's new Gucci - I hesitated. Now, absurdly, I'm circling back. They're on my mood board. My wish list. Lodged at the front of my mind. Let's pause and remember their genesis. The Princetown slipper made its debut in Michele's first Gucci collectionfor Autumn/Winter '15 - a men's show that, in retrospect, detonated a cultural bomb. It wasn't just a shoe, but a manifesto. The loafer, made louche, decadent and kind of foolish courtesy of the furry lining, was precisely the provocation Michele excelled at. Vogue dubbed it the shoe of the season, and in no time it was everywhere: sidewalks, front rows, fake market stalls and Instagram grids. It became shorthand for Michele's Gucci, and, then, inevitably, came the backlash. After years of fabulous embroidery, clashing prints, it bags, feverish '70s dreams, logo belts, Harry Styles (actually, we could never get enough of that) and Gucci collaborations, fashion fatigue set in, caused by suffocating ubiquity. The slippers slunk off into storage - but that's just the nature of fashion. From L-R: Alexa Chung; ASAP Rocky ©Getty But in 2025, I feel the itch again. Why? Perhaps because furry footwear is no longer a gimmick. Phoebe Philo toyed with it at Céline. Michele himself went further and dreamt up full Yeti hooves. Molly Goddard conjured super-hairy Uggs, and Birkenstock 1774's shearling Bostons became pandemic-era uniforms. What once read as absurd now reads as foundational. Returning to the Princetown feels like going back to the urtext. And crucially, their silhouette aligns uncannily with now: the ultra-flat almond toe, sitting discreetly beneath the sweep of today's wide-legged, tailored trousers. In 2015, they fought with culottes and skinny jeans, in 2025, they dissolve into the trouser leg with an elegance almost monastic. Wear with a black wool shirt and black tailored slacks, Gucci Princetowns peeking out like a sly punchline. Perfect. Gucci Autumn/Winter '15 ©Getty And I'm not alone. Maybe it's impending excitement for Demna's new vision for Gucci, but they've cropped up in conversations with friends, not just editors, which means the hum of resurgence is getting louder. You can still find them on Gucci's website if you'd rather not trawl resale platforms for worn-out soles. Ditto for the non-furry version, they're equally as delicious. From L-R: Hailey Bieber; Gigi Hadid But what really unsettles me is this: the time-lag of the trend cycle has collapsed so violently, we're now mining the mid-to-late 2010s. Not the '90s, but 2017. Fashion, always self-devouring, now seems positively cannibalistic, and soon we'll be heralding the triumphant return of looks we only abandoned last year. Still, the Princetowns make sense. They were a best-seller for a reason. Fickle as fashion may be, it's also forgiving, and when the timing is right, even the most derided tropes can regain their sheen. And so, this fashion month, I'll slip back into the furry stomper. Because sometimes the joke ages better than the punchline. 1. Gucci, Princetown Slipper Shearling-Lined 2.
