![]() Rather unexpectedly, they turned out to be a perfect match so, of course, I had to have them! Soon afterwards, I followed up with a pair in canvas and, later, in embroidered leather. ![]() The first pair I tried on were the classic chevron leather Double G or “GG” Gucci slides. ![]() I rarely paid any attention to their slip-ons, though. Having discovered Gucci footwear over two decades ago, they have been my go-to luxury brand for comfortable shoes ever since. Gucci slides were one of the first styles to arouse my curiosity. Grudgingly, I had to overcome my aversion towards slides and slowly started building a collection of summer shoes. You cannot survive here without a decent pair of sandals on a scorching hot day. However, since relocating to the Middle East, it soon became apparent that relying mostly on mules was simply not going to work. I also ended up naturally drawn towards mules because buying a pair was never a hassle. In consequence, I was consciously steering clear of sandal shopping to avoid disappointments. Because of low-ish arches, many styles of slides felt either loose-fitting or not particularly comfortable. It also did not help that finding the right pair of slip-ons has always been a headache. The few pairs I owned, I would wear almost exclusively on holidays – otherwise they would rarely see the light of day (such are British summers!). Until recently, sandals have not been a noteworthy feature of my wardrobe. Gucci slides have taught me how to fall in love with summer shoes.
