Torches and Sunshine

So after all of the build-up, the anticipation and the preparation, it's finally arrived to much excitement...I'm talking about the sunshine of course! It seems we've been waiting weeks for the weather to echo those glorious 2 weeks in March. Then all of a sudden we end up with cloudless skies that have parts of Britain hotter than Sicily! We're not complaining, and the ladies we've had in store, stocking up on summer sandals certainly aren't.

There also the small matter of one Olympic Torch being carried right past our store window in Cheltenham. You can't fail to be swept along in the mood that's taken over the town. Whether you intend to watch the Olympics or not, there's a high chance that you'll be whipped into a frenzy with everyone else! We know that the streets outside are going to be lined with crowds and the girls in store are just as excited.

Low Heel Strippy Soft Sling
£99.95
Keith Scarrott Shoes

But on days like today when you'll be standing for a while in heat and direct sunshine (again, no complaints) you're going to need shoes that take the strain and provide as much comfort as possible. While being suitably summery of course.

These incredibly soft strippy sandals (right) are not only made of the softest calf leather but they also have a springy rubber sole that means you feel light on your feet all day. Incredibly popular, it's an annual favourite.

Flat Stone Trim Toe Post Sandal
£119.95
Keith Scarrott Shoes

Flat sandals are always a good bet, but when you're carrying shopping bags/cameras/children you don't want them to be falling off your feet, in a crowd you'll never find them again! These gladiator-inspired sandals (left) come in black and brown suede for a chic continental feel. Think promenading in St Tropez and you're just about there!

Slingback wedge
£99.95
Keith Scarrott Shoes

A wedge is always a great bet for wearing to standing events. Not only will it give your feet a break from wearing heels, they still give you the height. An added plus is the ability to see over other people's heads - get the camera ready! These beautiful navy wedges (right) stay snug and secure with the added slingback and team as well with jeans as with shorts.

Even if you're not watching the Olympic Torch run today, enjoy the sunshine and don't miss out on our wonderful summer sandals.
