As we slide into Phase 3 today, things seem to be slowly but surely heading back to normal. But one thing that we will be taking along from our quarantine life is the importance of comfort dressing which has permeated almost all aspects of our daily lives – right down right to our footwear choices.

As seen in the Cruise 2021 and Spring/Summer 2021 collections, a fair share of laidback slides will be dominating the shoe styles we'll be wearing in the months to come.
