These Hermès sandals will be a must-have in summer 2025

Hermès: This sandal has adorned the feet of stars for over 20 years.

The "Oran" sandals have long been an iconic staple in the Hermès range. They were first designed in 1997 by Pierre Hardy, the shoe designer at the time, when Africa was the central theme of the collection. They owe their name to the coastal town of Oran, the second-largest city in western Algeria. They are characterized by their H-shaped strap across the instep and their striking topstitching. The range of colors and materials is enormous; Hermès currently offers over 35 models for sale. No wonder the style has remained so popular for over 20 years.

It's the same story every summer: The "Oran" sandals can be seen on every street corner and on beaches around the globe and are among the most coveted shoes of the season. This bestseller is now available in a wide variety of colors and patterns and has become one of the most popular models among celebrities. Fans include influencer Leonie Hanne , model Elsa Hosk, and actress Dakota Fanning. The sandals were worn all over again at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival and in street style during fashion weeks. The silhouette, with its simple and clean design, is a true long-seller!
