Over the past few seasons, we have seen a shift towards practicality in fashion, and this is seen most acutely with footwear. We need our shoes to be able to take us on countless laps of the park without causing us any trouble, so high heels have been universally retired. Fashion brands have been bringing us sturdy, responsible shoes for several seasons—the kind of styles you'd try to run away from when finding shoes at Clarks in sixth grade. Think T-bar loafers, chunky lace-ups, and fisherman sandals.
The Row and Gabriella Hearst both are adored for their discreet and quiet take on luxury fashion, and although both tend to shy away from anything too flashy or trend-driven, they both have a habit of dictating the silhouettes that we'll be gravitating towards. Both have created beautiful caged leather sandals in both ivory and black, making the humble fisherman sandal the most sought-after sandal for 2024. Like Tevas, their appeal is that they are practical walking shoes and will go with almost any outfit. Keep scrolling for proof that they really do look amazing with all looks, and then shop our edit of the best pairs.
