This week’s sudden but welcome sunshine probably had many of us running to the shoe cupboard in remembrance that even we Scots get to show off our toes sometimes.

But are your sandals up to another year? If not, now is the perfect time to hit the high street and invest in a new pair. Or, depending on your budget, maybe even two pairs.

There are a plethora of different styles on offer, from comfy flats that you can walk in for hours and the latest trendy wedges, to strappy high heels for that special occasion.

And if you’re looking for something that can move easily from day to evening, the flared bloc heel, such as this one from Topshop, could be for you. It looks equally good in the office or a cool bar, and won’t kill your feet.

If it’s practicality you’re after, meanwhile, laid-back Birkenstocks, with their cork sole, never go out of fashion, though if it’s something with a bit more pizazz, try Dune’s elegant range of leather flats.

Wedge sandals are a must in any summer wardrobe, of course, and this year we’re seeing new twists in the form of colourful prints, bold mono colour and weave patterns.

And if you’re going high, this season’s nude trend means your favourite strappy sandals are likely to go with just about anything.
