In thing: Scholl sandals
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.After clogs, comes daughter of clogs: the Scholl exercise sandal. We knew it was only a matter of time before something like this happened. Last spotted on sexy Seventies mums, the Dr Scholl single-strap sandals died an ignoble death, shunned by a generation of daughters who saw them as too ugly and, like the flip-flop (also making a comeback this summer), too passe for words. Now they are popping up on the pages of women's magazines and, if this heat-wave continues, are poised on the brink of summer revival. Best worn with brown legs, these toe-grippers are value for money at pounds 23.99, and cut a much finer figure for exercise practicality than the lumpen, brown and toadish Birkenstocks and other fakes.
Dr Scholl sandals at the Scholl Foot and Leg Care Centre, 58 Brompton Rd SW3 (071-589 1887) Mon-Sat 9am-6pm/Weds 9am-8pm.
