These $20 H&M Sandals Give Off Too Strong of Khaite Vibes to Not Sell Out
I've long been adamant about my love for heels of any kind and my general avoidance of flats whenever possible. So, you can imagine my surprise when I stumbled upon a $20 pair of flat strappy sandals on H&M's website that I not only wanted but had to have. Minimal in shape but loud in terms of their print—the sandals are snakeskin, a trend I've already coined the animal print of 2023—the affordable sandals were shockingly alluring to a heel lover like me.
Naturally, I did further research to try and zero in on what exactly it is about H&M's newest sandals that caught my eye, only to remember that Khaite—one of the fashion set's most desired labels, not to mention a personal favorite of mine—made a similar pair for spring. Though the H&M pair doesn't feature as many luxurious details as the pair from Khaite, they have the same overall aesthetic and cost more than $700 less, so my interest in them shouldn't be all that startling.
I'd be willing to bet I'm not the only anti-flats fashion person with a soft spot for these H&M sandals, meaning the likelihood of them staying in stock is next to none. Shop them while you still can below.
