Dr. Martens Makes a Case For Swapping Sneakers For Sandals

There comes a time each summer when suddenly slipping on a pair of sneakers probably isn’t the most comfortable option. As the temperature heats up, those perforated toeboxes have a lot to contend with, and instead, we find ourselves reaching for other options. Luckily, over the past couple of years, our favourite brands have all upped their slide game, and companies like Dr. Martens have worked on developing super-cute, summer-ready sandals that mean we don’t miss our kicks too much.

Though the brand has plenty of options to choose from (we also love the Carson and Jorge mules!) this summer we’re swaying towards a real statement sandal - and the Dr. Martens Nartilla ticks every box. Sitting atop a chunky sole, the Nartilla takes on a gladiator-style look, and features extended laces that wrap around the calf for extra cute detailing. Whether you’ll be hitting up Ocean Beach or chilling in your local pub garden, the Nartilla Sandal is the perfect dress-up or dress-down pair, so consider them an investment for more summers to come.

The Dr. Martens Nartilla Sandal is available to buy now, but we wouldn’t be surprised to see them sell out as the season gets properly underway. Hit the links to secure your size now, and don’t forget to head over to Dr. Martens to see what else the brand has to offer.
