And we’ve got the Olsen twins to thank because it was their brand, The Row, that really put them back into centre stage last summer, so much so Rosie Huntington-Whiteley became an unintentional poster girl for the cult shoe, quickly followed by just about every Instagrammer. With an eye-watering £725 price tag and a design that’s becoming a mainstay with the fashion pack, it’s no surprise that high street brands have gotten on board with the hype, creating their own take on the classic tread – some better than others, we hasten to add. In honour of all things trendy, yet affordable, we asked the team at IndyBest to each try a different pair of the cult design to see which ones stood out, paying close attention to comfort, because after all, beauty is not pain.
