Oran sandals: colours, sizes and how it works →

The piece in detail

Pierre Hardy drew the Oran for Hermès in 1997 and it has not been redesigned since: a flat leather slide, square at the toe, with a single wide band across the foot cut into the shape of the H. Everything else was removed. There is no buckle, no strap, no logo stamped on the outside — the fastening and the branding are the same piece of leather, and the shoe is recognisable across a room to people who could not name another sandal. This pair is a 38½ in black calfskin, smooth-finished rather than grained, and the band is worked with a contrast saddle stitch in pale thread. That stitch is the whole difference between this version and the plain black one: it draws the outline of the H, it references the saddlery the house was built on, and it stops a black sandal from disappearing into the foot. Against bare skin in summer or a black trouser in town, it is the detail that registers. Underneath is a leather sole — semelle cuir, stamped HERMÈS 38½, made in Italy — with a thin leather-covered heel. A leather sole is the reason an Oran looks the way it does, flat and precise with no rubber lip, and it is also the one thing to be deliberate about: it is made for pavements, terraces and interiors rather than for wet stone, and a cobbler can add a thin protective sole in ten minutes if you would rather not think about it. Store fresh and unworn, soles unmarked. Hermès sandals are cut narrow and true to size; if you normally take a 38½ and have a broader foot, the Oran is the model most people size up in. Sourced below the boutique price. Available to view at our Chelsea Harbour showroom or delivered insured anywhere in the UK. Ask us for a short video if you would like to see the stitching up close before you decide.
