Oran Sandals — Noir, Box Calfskin

Hermès’ black Oran sandal makes its signature through a cut-out H rather than added hardware. Smooth Box calfskin forms the broad upper, with pale stitching tracing the edges and a black leather sole underneath. The open heel and slip-on construction keep the profile spare. Created by Pierre Hardy in 1997, the Oran has become a recurring summer shape for the house. This version is made in Italy. Hermès recommends the usual shoe size, or half a size up for a high instep; half sizes are available.
