In 1997, Pierre Hardy, head of the Hermès footwear division, asked himself a question that would end up revolutionizing the fashion industry. The French designer had the concern of creating a shoe that all the clients of the house would want to have in his closet, specifically, “a very simple sandal that every woman could wear, with a leather sole and upholstery.”

This is how the Oran was born, one of the favorite shoes of style prescribers for the summer months. Chiara Ferragni or Meghan Markle are just some of the celebrities who have this model in their dressing rooms, which is easily recognized by the strips that form the brand’s initial and which is available in various colors, for a price of 565 euros.

Spanish influencers have also fallen in love with these comfortable flat sandals that combine with practically everything. Recently, Violeta Mangriñán posed in nets with black leather sandals to finish off her total black look. The same model with which, last week, María Pombo left the hospital with her daughter Vega. The woman from Madrid wore these shoes with a white maxi dress.

In recent years there have been several brands that have been encouraged to launch their own versions of this iconic shoe. One of the firms is Zara, which since 2018 has been selling flat, shovel-type sandals, which have become one of its best sellers.

Every season, the Inditex flagship puts on sale sandals at a very affordable price that encourages its clients to buy them in different shades. They cost only 25.95 euros and, in addition to being available in brown, white and black leather, this year they can also be found in gold and silver tones.

This shoe has a flexible technical AIRFIT foam insole that guarantees greater comfort with each step. They are on sale from number 35 to 42 and can be worn at any time of the day, from a casual outfit with jeans and a shirt, to a slip dress or a patterned one for the night.
