Hermes’ Oran sandal is undoubtedly the designer brand’s hottest shoe model out right now.
You’ve seen them on the likes of models, singers, actresses and even royalty, including Meghan Markle, Elsa Hosk, Jasmine Tookes, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Katy Perry, Sofia Richie and BLACKPINK’s Jisoo. Now, a dupe is available at Steve Madden, and it’s less than half the price of the beloved designer slides. Hermes’ silhouette can run you $840 depending on the colorway and composition; Steve Madden’s Hadyn sandal costs up to $79.95, once again depending on style and composition.
The Hadyn ranges from size 5 to 12 and comes in five alternative designs and compositions from woven to mesh. There’s even a cow-printed Hadyn. In the classic models made of leather, our favorite colorways include Cognac, a neutral tan, and Black. The textural Mocha suede, a taupe-like hue, is also pretty great too.
No matter which style or composition you choose, the design is pretty much always the same. You’ve got an H-shaped motif that makes up the straps that transition into open square toes. The silhouette is backless, making it easy to slip on. Block heels standing at 0.75 inches give the wearer an ultra-subtle boost. The soles of every shoe are embossed with Steve Madden’s logo. Even down to the chunky stitching, the Steve Madden Hadyn is pretty much identical to the Hermes model.
Dupes are always tricky to navigate. While the price is attractive and the style might look borderline identical to the original, sometimes the material and quality are sacrificed in the process. Not Steve Madden’s dupe, however. Every style is made of durable, high-quality fabrics, whether it be leather or mesh. The brand’s dupe footwear models are held in high regard for this reason. They offer people looking to save money and want to tap into the designer footwear game without breaking the bank.

Amazon also carries a similar Hermes style from Rihero. It’s currently on sale for $24.37. This shoe comes in majority leather, along with one woven model and sizing ranges from 5.5 to 11. Like the Hermes and Steve Madden shoes, the price fluctuates for the Amazon sandals based on colorway and composition.
Lifestyle sandals like these are perfect for the summer. Easy to wear and style, we can see these becoming a go-to for the office and beyond. Simply throw them on with slacks and a short-sleeved blouse for those big meetings or dress them down with a breezy maxi dress or denim cut-offs for brunch with the girls. No matter how you choose to style these, one thing is certain. No one will be able to tell the designer from the dupe.
