For men thinking about cool footwear in the heat, look no further than Arno by Mr Hare, probably the most beautiful summer shoes that don't need socks for comfort. Designed by Marc Hare who, amongst his other career engagements, opened London's first proper surf shop way back in 1992, they are handmade in Empoli in Tuscany from the finest cashmere suede and are extremely light and soft. Expensive yes, at £240 a pair, but the advantages are that they can be folded, are flat packable and have replaceable soles. Plus they come in the most gorgeous colours such as orange, aubergine and salmon as well as plain creams, browns and blacks and have become so popular that women now want them too. See mrhare.com
