You may think a sandal selection post is a bit premature. You’d be wrong, but you’re entitled to that standpoint. We’ll see 20 degrees next week, according to the Met Office, which means headlines like HOTTER THAN BARBADOS and scaremongering about droughts won’t be far off. At that point your feet will demand breathability and that leads us to sandals. Here’s six we reckon you’ll appreciate.
