An honest review of Hermès Oasis sandals

When it comes to French luxury houses, Louis Vuitton and Chanel tend to have the best name recognition and while I wouldn't turn down a bag from either, my favorite has always been Hermès. What I love about Hermès is that for almost 200 years, they've stayed true to their artisanal roots, and unlike their competitors, Hermès still manufactures the majority of its products in France. Of course, Hermès is more expensive than Chanel or Louis Vuitton, especially when it comes to handbags; the Birkin is their most famous, but the Constance—a bag so exclusive, you are only allowed to purchase it if you've already bought another Hermès handbag—is my favorite. So while I'm still a few years away from that milestone, I've been establishing myself as a customer for when the time comes. Jewelry is a great place to start (my first purchase was a Clic-H bracelet in Bordeaux in 2016), as are shoes, and both have the distinction of being designed by accessory mastermind Pierre Hardy. If you follow any influencers on Instagram, chances are you've seen the flat Oran sandal, but as someone who prefers a little heel, I think the Oasis is the way to go. Here's my honest and unfiltered opinion of the Hermès Oasis sandal. 



Oran vs. Oasis

Both shoes are crafted from supersoft calfskin with that signature Hermès topstitching and iconic H logo design. The biggest difference, of course, is the heel—the Oasis has a two-inch stacked wood heel and the Oran is flat. I tend to get shin splints when I wear totally flat shoes (or at least I used to) plus I'm a little vain and figured I'd be wearing these mostly with bare legs, so I decided to go for the Oasis and its slight lift. Of course, now that I've been living in flats for the last year, I'm tempted to get the Oran too. Long story short, do you want a little heel? If yes, go for Oasis. 




How they fit

I am almost always an 8.5 in US sizes, a 38.5 in Italian sizes, and a 39 in French sizes, so I got a 39 in the Oasis sandals, and they fit perfectly. I found the leather to be buttery-soft and didn't need to be broken in at all, nor did I get blisters the first time I wore them. I have slightly wide feet, but found that these don't pinch me at all. They are comfortable, but not walk-12,000-steps comfortable—I've worn them to work all day without a problem but I also spend a lot of my day sitting. 



Where to buy them

The Hermès website (or store) has the largest selection of colors and sizes; the classic all-leather style is $710, but prices can run over $1,000 for more exotic skins or blinged-out details. You can sometimes find a pair for less on The Real Real (that's where I got mine) or Fashionphile but because these shoes have such a high resale value, the consignment sites tend to offer only a meager discount, if any (and sometimes prices are even higher than retail). Vestaire Collective tends to have the best selection of all the secondhand sites and I trust their authentication process more than any other peer-direct marketplace, but prices can be all over the place, On that note, approach eBay and Poshmark with caution—there are a lot of fakes out there. 




My honest opinion

I love my Hermès Oasis sandals. They're simple yet chic and they look good with everything from cropped pants to maxi dresses. The 2-inch heel gives you just enough lift to feel confident, but the shoes are still comfy enough to wear for long periods of time (I wouldn't recommend a ton of walking, however). I personally went for a mixed animal-print pair, which I've found goes with more than you'd think, but if I were to get another pair (or the Oran), I'd go for the classic saddle leather. Maybe next time I'm in France... or Bora Bora ;)

They are such cutes shoes on you and I like the little heel! I'd really like a pair of Hermes sandals one day but the twillies and bracelets I do have are pre-kids purchases and I don't see me back in there any time soon, especially not while I only work part time. I just admire what I have and look with envy at others, haha!

Hope you are having a good week :)

That's a gorgeous shoe! It's perfect for when you want a little length to the leg but don't want to be showing up in full heels.

hi everyone!!! I want to advice everyone here ,please be careful when choosing a broker to invest your fund, i was a victim of octer FX scam. they kept on requesting for additional payment before withdrawal can be made, after payment twice. All effort to reached out to their customer support was declined, i was heart broken for months. God so kind i was going through comments online and i came across how to get my lost fund back, Without delay i reached out to Mr William and asked some technical questions i loves his response and i gave it a try. in 36 hours i was asked to check my wallet balance and i was shucked when i saw an increment in my Balance, i quickly redrew to my bank account CONTACT info; William-Mercado@cyber-wizard.com

Initially I had a SCORE of 490 with late payments and lingering debts that would not let me qualify for anything. Then I came across an AD on Reddit about Gearheadpanacea.com and I contacted them. After 2 weeks they completed working on my score and it amazingly became 820 with my CC debts cleared.

I can’t blame my ignorance for my losses.Because I never thought the company I was involved in was a fraud or that I was investing into something risky, lost money and almost stopped investing altogether, I’m expressing my sincere gratitude to “VALOR HACK RECOVERY TEAM” For all their assistance. Already you are panicking and searching for a solution or a way out of that unsure investment you got going on or a frozen account/asset, it could be anything but one thing is certain VALOR HACK RECOVERY TEAM IS QUALIFIED.

The panic began again on a Monday after depositing about $92,450 three consecutive times in an attempt to pull out the Millions I had Invested, FYI they all proved useless instead it was more ways to pay more money.My story is one I believe I needed to share to warn against fraudulent investment companies with their always too good to be true offer, if you get on this train with these guys you won’t know when to get off until you realize you’ve been robbed and ditched.The primary lesson I learnt from the Fraudulent Investment Company I got involved with is that, highly improbable events can happen, and that they happen all the time. Things like terrorist attacks, wars, earthquakes, tsunamis, pandemics, infestations of murder hornets, boats stuck in shipping canals, and an Investment Fraud that come out of the blue maybe because I wasn’t reading the signs like I’m supposed to. Each event may be improbable on its own, but these sorts of unlikely things happen enough that we should expect that they are bound to occur. It took me a long time to accept my fate and search for a solution up until I found VALOR HACK RECOVERY TEAM.The second lesson that you’ll learn from me and this story is that you recover with the assistance of VALOR HACK RECOVERY. You may have been scammed in the past and they probably got away with it, Stop accepting the loss and stand up against these people - VALOR HACK RECOVERY TEAM will do the heavy lifting FOR YOU.

VALOR HACK RECOVERY TEAM is the leading solution for any digital currency fraud investment scheme you maybe in.VALOR TEAM -specialized professionals understand the complexities of their client’s case. They recognize emerging issues and offer clients practical solutions with better outcomes aligned to their strategic objectives.The Rules governing Asset Recovery is made and bent by this profound Team “VALOR HACK RECOVERY”, because when I got scammed by the lady I met on instagram, I thought it was the end of me with everything I ever worked for gone with the wind all in the name of a crypto related investment. I had my skepticism when I met VALOR HACK RECOVERY TEAM, due to my experience with the instagram lady, I assumed everyone out here on the internet are all fake and only wish to cause more harm than Good. Honest Remark about all this and my experience with VALOR HACK RECOVERY TEAM is that you need to decide to get better and recover what you lost and this starts with acknowledging your own contributions to the problem. And by doing so, that is the first step to come up with a solution and prevent a similar crisis in the future.It’s probably that you weren’t financially prepared for any disruption to your finances, let alone a monumental fraudulent investment that brought you to your knees. You may have thought you were in a “good enough” position just prior to discovering that you are being defrauded (or whatever else it was that sent you off the cliff) because you had a job and were able to pay all your bills before deciding to invest— but if, at the end of the day,after investing you are not able to make profits you are probably in a wrong investment.

I lost $103,450 with a fake crypto investor. I am Richardson and here is my story. Of course, they advise us to do a good background check before deciding where and when to invest. But they entirely forget that the scammers have a "clean" background record. So you will find all the good reviews and ads about them when you research. Mine was no different. They looked legit and I made my deposits plus other more deposits when chasing my withdrawals. I reached my limits and knew I had to get my money back no matter what. I did some deep searching and finally decided to try out The Exner Hacker at TheexnerhackerATprotonmailDOTcom. Guess who had their total investment in approximately 20 hours. Good thing about this hacker is that they only require the transaction information and hackers address and everything else is on them until the money is fully back. Reach them on their email or Telegram number : (PLUS)1 (917) 384‑3379 to get the help you need with finances and crypto.
