When I finally got an email to say these black T-strap sandals were back in stock on the Zara website last year, I rushed to the checkout with no hesitation. There was only one size (my size!) in stock, and I wasn't going to miss out on these beauties again.
For just £35.99, these closed-toe multi-strap sandals have got a definite Saint Laurent feel about them. They tap into the fisherman sandals trend - which was huge last summer - only in a much more subtle way than some of the chunkier styles I'd seen elsewhere.
Once I got my hands on them, I was not disappointed. They worked really well with skirts, shorts and trousers, and surprisingly, they were incredibly comfortable. With several straps it looks like there's lots of opportunity for rubbing, but I didn't get a single blister however many steps I walked. They became a key part of my summer capsule wardrobe, and a must-have when deciding what to pack in hand luggage.
So you can imagine how excited I was when I spotted these flats on the Zara website this morning. They're the same sandals with the woven detail and buckle strap, only this time in a fresh white colourway - perfect for 2025. As a fashion editor, I'm always on the lookout for sellout styles, and I predict a runaway success for Zara here.
My favourite Zara summer sandals
These are are a really great spring shoe. You don't need to get a spray tan or a pedicure to wear them, but they do feel that bit more warm-weather friendly than your most comfortable trainers.
Zara shoes do tend to be true to size in my experience, but if you're a half size I'd probably go up. The ankle strap means they'll stay on securely!
One of the best British clothing brands, ME+EM have got a similar white leather fisherman sandal on their website, only with a block heel, which retail for £295. Oh and Reformation's Freya Fisherman sandal costs £248. Which goes to show what a bargain these really are!
Now excuse while I go and add these to my shopping basket ASAP...

These are a really similar version of the black leather sandals I have, only with slightly more delicate ankle straps. How elegant would they look with a chic little linen dress when the sun is shining?
