I'm in NY, and My Colleagues Are in London—I Tried the $69 Flats They Sold Me On

When I think about summer, I think about my collection of effortless slip-on sandals. Nothing feels better than slipping into a good pair of shoes that take seconds to put on and remind me of a trip to the South of France. It's the type of shoe that I can never get enough of. Not only is it easy to fit into my already-packed closet, but it easily melts into my wardrobe as I go from spring to summer.

At Who What Wear, we have a team that sits in the U.S. and another that dominates the London scene. When a shopping item really resonates with both of us, that means we're onto something. The UK team let us know about how much they're all loving a particular pair of simple flats, and I immediately had to try out a pair for myself. One quick order, and they're now on my feet as I prepare my wardrobe for summer.

My first question whenever I buy into a new pair of shoes is, “Will they be comfortable?” With this pair, there was no breaking-in time needed. I stepped out and immediately felt like I was walking on a cloud, exactly how I like it.
