Instantly recognizable by its cut-out "H", the Hermès Oran sandal was designed by Pierre Hardy in the late 1990s and has become one of the most iconic flat sandals in fashion. Simple, comfortable and elegant, it goes with everything from denim to summer dresses.
How does the Oran fit?
The Oran is a slide sandal with a leather sole. Most wearers find it fits true to size, while those between sizes often choose the smaller size for a secure fit, as the leather relaxes with wear. Sizes are European (36, 37, 38…). If you are unsure, message us with your usual size and foot shape.
Leathers and colors
- Box calf: smooth and glossy, the classic choice.
- Epsom and grained leathers: more resistant to scratches.
- Suede and nubuck: soft and matte, perfect for a relaxed look.
- Exotics and patent: for a statement pair.
Neutral colors such as black, gold, white and etoupe are the easiest to wear, while bright shades add a pop of color to summer outfits.
The Oran family
Hermès also offers the Oasis (the Oran on a small heel), the Chypre (a sporty strapped sandal) and the Corfou, among others. If you love the Oran but want more height, the Oasis is a great option.
Care tips
- Avoid wet surfaces: leather soles do not like water.
- Consider adding a protective rubber sole with a cobbler for daily wear.
- Store them in their dust bags, away from direct sunlight.
