The final scorching weeks of summer are a sartorial nightmare; it feels impossible to come up with stylish looks when the outdoors feels like a sauna. The addition of a new pair of sandals to the closet rotation is just what we need to perk up our wardrobe and get us through these next few weeks feeling fresh — and these $20 designer-lookalike sandals at Target are just the ticket.
If you’ve been longing for a pair of Hermès Oran sandals but can’t stomach the $840 price tag, Target has you covered. Plenty of brands have attempted to recreate this iconic piece of summery footwear, but no one has come quite as close as this beloved affordable retailer.
Available in a wide range of colors in sizes 5-12, these sandals suit just about any style and aesthetic. This timeless silhouette is both casual and structured — elegant enough to feel polished and refined without looking matronly or stuffy. These slides have an airy, open-toe construction with a tiny block heel. The top band has a chic Oran-esque design to allow for even more air flow while helping to keep your foot securely in place.
Reviewers love that these sandals are versatile enough to allow for day-to-night styling, are lightweight and comfy and, importantly, affordable enough to buy in just about every color. More than one shopper noted that they don’t cause blisters, which, as we all know, is crucial in a summer sandal.
Dress them up or down, wear them to the office with trousers or on a picnic with your floatiest summer dress, either way, they’ll complete your outfit and tap into some classic Jackie Onassis sophistication.
The price tag makes these sandals near irresistible, but if that isn’t enough to pique your interest, take a look at what reviewers have to say about these absolutely gorgeous sandals. You won’t regret adding a pair (or two) to your shoe closet.
Promising reviews:
“I’ve been wanting these sandals all spring and summer! I’m so glad I finally got them! I have the cognac color and now the khaki! I wear 6.5 and I love them!! They go with anything, they are so comfy. I never experience blisters or rubbing while walking in them for a long time, and they look expensive and flattering with everything I wear! I want more colors before they run out. These are going to be my go-to sandals all summer long!” — FR

These beauties are available in two colors in sizes 5.5-9.5.

Looking to cop a high-fashion style? These gleaming slides are eerily similar to ultra-popular designer sandals by Loeffler Randall but for a fraction of the price.

The timeless silhouette of these slip-on heels makes them the perfect addition to any closet. They have a knit fabric construction and a padded insole that keeps your feet comfy while the block heel and square toe keep the shoe looking fresh and modern. These shoes are available in eight colors in sizes 6-12.
A pair of Hermes-adjacent slides
It feels like every brand (high and low) has a variation on this sandal's timeless theme — Hermes, Tory Burch, Steve Madden, Quince and Aldo, but without question, the most affordable of the bunch is this cutie at Target. Available in a range of colors in sizes 6-11, they're easy to style and, according to reviews, sturdy, comfy and good quality.

Dearfoams shoes are beloved for their incredibly comfortable construction, and these sandals are no exception.
