Sandals are one of the oldest types of open footwear: a sole fastened to the foot with straps, leaving most of the foot open. They were worn as far back as Ancient Egypt, Greece and Rome, and over millennia the basic idea has barely changed. Sandals are made for warmth: they breathe, do not overheat the foot and give a feeling of lightness and freedom. Modern styles are incredibly diverse — from simple beach and comfortable sport sandals to refined evening sandals on heels, adorned with stones. Straps can wind around the ankle, the instep or even the calf (gladiators). It is basic summer footwear that goes easily with both a beach and an evening look. Sandals are a symbol of the warm season, rest and an effortless, open beauty in which comfort and aesthetics go hand in hand.
