Okay, so, I’ve been eyeing those Hermes Oran sandals for, like, forever. They’re just so classic, you know? I finally decided to just go for it and buy a pair. So here’s how it all went down.
First, I spent way too much time scrolling through pictures online, trying to decide on a color. There are so many choices! I ended up going with the classic tan. Figured it would go with basically everything in my closet.
Then came the actual buying part. I debated going to a Hermes store in person, but honestly, I was feeling lazy. So I just ordered them online. Clicking that “buy now” button was a little scary, not gonna lie. They’re definitely an investment piece!
The waiting was the hardest part! I tracked the package like a hawk. When that orange box finally arrived, I was like a kid on Christmas morning. Ripped that thing open so fast. And there they were, nestled in their little dust bags – one for each sandal, how cute is that?
Slipping them on for the first time was…interesting. I’d heard they run true to size, and I usually wear my regular size in sandals. They fit, but they were definitely snug. I’d also read that people with wider feet sometimes go up half a size, and now I get why. I walked around the house in them for a few hours, and they did start to feel a little more comfortable. Now I wear them out and they fit perfectly.
Here’s the deal with these sandals: they are definitely more of a “resort wear” kind of shoe. You know, for looking chic by the pool or strolling around a fancy vacation town. They are made of really durable leather, and I feel like they’d be okay if they got a tiny bit wet, but I definitely wouldn’t wear them in the rain or anything like that.
- Look: Super elegant and simple. That “H” design is iconic for a reason.
- Feel: The leather is good quality. They get more comfortable the more you wear them.
- Versatility: The tan color goes with everything. I’ve worn them with dresses, shorts, jeans…you name it.
So, the big question: are they worth it?
Honestly, it depends. They’re definitely pricey. But I have to say, every time I wear them, I feel a little bit more put together. They just elevate any outfit. Plus, they’re a classic style that’s been around for, like, 25 years, so I don’t think they’re going out of style anytime soon. If you’re looking for a luxurious treat for your feet and you appreciate timeless style, then yeah, I think they’re worth considering. Just be prepared to break them in a bit!
