Hispanitas Ambar Leather Sports Sandal in Platinum

The Hispanitas Ambar sandals in Platinum are a sporty women's leather sandal on a platform sole, made for getting about comfortably all summer long. They pair off-white, tan and metallic platinum straps in a pebbled leather, with the brand's logo printed along the heel strap.

Materials and comfort

The upper is grained leather: the off-white and tan straps have a matt finish, while the platinum ones add a soft sheen that stays on the subtle side. Underneath, a rubber sole with a chunky lug pattern sits on a platform of around 4.5 cm. It gives you a little extra height without any wobble, as your whole foot rests flat rather than being tipped forward by a heel.

Fit

Hook-and-loop straps across the instep and around the ankle adjust in seconds, so they work for narrower feet as well as those with a higher instep, and you can loosen them off on hotter days. A T-bar linking the front of the sandal to the ankle strap holds your foot securely, so it doesn't slide about as you walk. A sculpted metal detail on the instep adds a distinctive touch without being fussy.

How to wear them

The mix of off-white, tan and platinum goes with almost anything in a summer wardrobe: denim shorts, linen midi skirts, shirt dresses or relaxed cotton trousers. They're a great pick for strolling round town, running errands, travelling or a long day out, when you want something comfortable that doesn't look like hiking gear.

Care

Wipe them with a soft, barely damp cloth and leave to dry in the shade, away from direct sun and heat. Use a product made for metallic leather on the platinum straps and avoid stiff brushes, which can scratch the finish. Storing them in their box or a cloth bag helps keep the colours fresh.
