I have long believed in quality over quantity and that there are some classic items that are just worth the higher price tag. Before you think I’m crazy just listen to my logic.
I like to think about whatever I buy whether it is $50 or $700 in terms of cost per wear. Will I be able to use this item year after year? Can I pair it with multiple items in my wardrobe? Simply put, how much use will I get out of it?
If the answer is yes to all of those questions then the higher price tag for a quality and versatile item is well worth it to me. I had a feeling that the Hermes Oran sandals would be just that.
Every Summer outfit in my mind seemed much more complete with these classic sandals, and after years of deliberation, I took the plunge. I finally bought the Hermes Oran sandals on a recent trip to Milan with my family.
Are the Hermes Oran Sandals Worth the Price?
- They are beautiful – the leather is smooth and the brand is synonymous with luxury so you are also paying for the brand name.
- I was really looking for a pair of shoes that I could throw on and it would go with absolutely everything. Rather than purchasing multiple sandals each season, I prefer to have a few quality pairs that I can use year after year.
In college, I loved the Tory Burch Miller sandals, and in my mind, the Hermes Oran sandals are just a grown-up version of that. I loved the simplistic design of the Miller sandals and the range of colors. I wore my Miller sandals to the ground (like really – there was a hole) so I knew a classic leather sandal would already work well in my wardrobe.

I believe there are some things that are worth the price tag.
I’m not interested in breaking the bank on trends. I’m more interested in curating a collection of quality items over the years that become my go-to’s. I know these Hermes Oran sandals will be in my collection for years to come as they never go out of style. My style philosophy is all about mixing the classic pieces with the modern for a fun and visually interesting look.
Looking for Hermes dupes? Check out these if you are unsure about taking the plunge:
Steve Madden ($79) – super popular this season with fellow fashion bloggers.
Tuckernuck ($150) – a little more expensive but the leather is of high quality. I expect more sizes to be available as we move closer to Summer.
SHOPBOP ($109) – just purchased these and waiting for them to arrive. I plan on doing a comparison blog post so make sure to keep an eye out for that.

Hello,
I've been thinking of getting a pair myself. Did you find these comfortable to wear for longer walks?
Hi Nicola,
I would recommend these because they are classic and go with everything. In the beginning they were not the most comfortable for long periods of time. I needed to break them in, but after that they were comfortable.
