Think! Veggie leather Birkenstock alternatives

I'm off to the Latitude festival this weekend, and with the long-range forecast looking surprisingly bright, I'm thinking a pair of tough but stylish flat sandals is the way forward.

My first port of call was the Natural Shoe Store, where style and comfort merge, and you can guarantee you'll find something a bit different. So instad of going for the obvious Birkenstocks option I gave Think! shoes a try, whose 'Julia' thong shoe in hard-wearing veggie leather has all you need in a simple, rugged shoe that doesn't lose any cool points. There are various colours and styles available, all at £59
