I would never recommend buying anything you can’t afford, so if these are not in your budget, no, they are not worth it. But in short, that’s an average of $1.75 per wear. And honestly more than that because I wear them the second it’s warm enough to do so. I realistically wear them more than that, but even at this number, that’s at least 80 days per year, but really 100. So let’s be conservative and say that I wear these 5x a week for 16 weeks. Summer is 13 weeks long, but I start wearing sandals at least a month weeks before summer begins. My first pair was a gift (a surprise) from my husband. And when you consider cost per wear, they feel worth it to me. I never in a million years thought I would spend this much on a pair of sandals, but I don’t keep most sandals for years and years. Like I said, they are a (major) splurge and the classic Oran sandals are $660. When I purchased my second pair, they were a little stiff but not painful – definitely better than the first, and felt great after a day or two. I wouldn’t buy a second pair if they weren’t comfortable, and I can’t walk in heels (but actually) so if I find these comfortable and can go on long walks in them, you know they’re good. And they held up for three years of (very) regular use. I have traveled in these and have even worn them on long walks. But a friend told me to give it a few days, and I’m so glad I did. I’ll be honest and tell you that the first time I wore them, my feet hurt and I was so worried that I made a mistake. It would be worth trying them on in person if you can, but if that isn’t possible, I would order them a half size up. I am usually a 7 – sometimes a 7.5 – and wear a 7.5 in these. They’re an essential piece for summer – classic sandals that go with everything. These Ancient Greek sandals are really beautiful, too. There are similar styles if you like the look – these are pretty good. They are an authentic leather slide sandal and come with a dust bag (one for each sandal) in an orange box. I’m a California girl, and I love a good pair of slide sandals. This is a design I will never tire of, and yes, they are a major splurge, but they’re worth it. You know I love pieces that won’t go out of style, so if you’re going to invest, classic is the way to go. The Hermès Orans sandals are a flat sandals with a leather sole and are an iconic Hermes style that’s been around since 1997. I’m sure plenty of people think these sandals are ridiculous, and that’s fine. No judgment if you love them – you do you. I think they’re worth it, and they make a lot more sense to me than Golden Goose sneakers which I just can’t get behind. But after two years of not living we get to live again and sometimes, you just have to go for it. We weren’t going anywhere and the thought of two nice pairs of sandals didn’t make sense. The Hermès Oran Sandals: Are They Worth It?Īfter a few years in my Hermes sandals, I spent last year talking about maybe investing in another pair at some point. So are they worth it? Well, I have lived in them all summer for years and I love them so much that I just purchased a second pair. They are all high quality, comfortable, and beautiful. But these, the Gucci Princetown slides, and the Chanel flats are my splurge shoes and they’re ones I wear all the time. I hate heels and have maybe a handful of pairs from our wedding or events, but that’s it. Designer shoes can be tough – especially heels which I don’t even bother with – and these are a major splurge. On my first Mother’s Day 4 years ago, my husband and daughter gave me a pair of Hermés Oran sandals.
