MEET YOUR SOLE
SAVIOURS

Move over, stilettos – wedges are having a serious moment. Meet the shoes you’ll want to wear all summer

What do Brigitte Bardot, Jane Birkin and Alexa Chung have in common? They’ve all been photographed looking enviably chic in espadrilles. Snapped wearing them with everything from off-the-shoulder dresses to love-worn denim, from the French Riviera to the streets of New York, these women know a thing or two about style – and the power of comfy footwear. Cue our bestselling take on the cult shoe: tweaked with a sleek ankle strap (no tricky-to-tie laces), a roomy fit and blissfully cushioned insole. Tempted to keep it casual? If there’s one thing these icons have taught us, it’s that shoes like these should be worn to every event in your diary – especially if dancing is on the cards.
