It's summer sandal season, but finding a great pair you can wear for hours on warm days at a fair price is no easy task. Luckily, Target is selling a $20 pair of shoes that's perfect for the season — and they just so happens to look like a designer sandal that costs hundreds of dollars more.
The Edna Slide Sandals from the Universal Thread label are one of the more under-the-radar Target finds we've spotted recently. They're practically identical to the $725 Saint Laurent Tribute Nu Pieds Slide Sandal, defined by sophisticated interlocking straps that run horizontally across the top of the foot.

Except compared to the designer version, the Edna Slide Sandals feature memory foam inside the footbed. This means they're super comfortable to wear while walking around, whether you're running some weekday errands or going out at night on the weekend. The fitted woven straps keep your foot in place, and no one needs to know they're not actually designer.

Target originally offered the Edna Slide Sandals in a full size range for three colors, but the gray patterned version with a snake print is almost entirely sold out. Instead, you can get the sandal in a basic black or brown color called Cognac, both of which are perfect neutrals for whatever summery outfits you have in your wardrobe.

We combed through customer reviews of the Edna Slide Sandals, and despite repeated advice to size up either a half or full size depending on your foot width, shoppers seem to adore these designer-inspired sandals. Many call them a "cute dupe" and even "ended up buying both colors" since they're so versatile for just $20.

"I didn't have high hopes for these $20 sandals, but bought them because they are a cute inexpensive dupe for the YSL Tribute sandals," said one customer. "I must admit that I am pleasantly surprised by these. Sole has some decent cushioning and they are shockingly comfortable."
"Gorgeous and inexpensive dupe!" another reviewer wrote. "Memory foam insoles are nice and cushy."
With that kind of praise, it's a wonder the Edna Slide Sandals are well stocked. While it's true Target has a good selection of shoes that look more expensive than they actually are, we suggest scoring a pair of these for yourself while you still can.

Idaho Turkey Hunter Shoots Charging Cow Moose In Self-Defense
A turkey hunter in Idaho had a close call with a cow moose on Friday, when the cow charged him to protect its young. Acting in self-defense, the hunter shot the charging moose after it knocked him to the ground. The hunter was not seriously injured in the incident, which took place a few miles south of Blackfoot, according to the Idaho Department of Fish and Game.
The agency explains in a press release that the unidentified man was hunting turkeys on BLM land bordering the Snake River when he "inadvertently startled" a cow moose with twin calves. The cow charged him immediately.
"The hunter fired two warning shots at the ground in front of the moose as it charged him," IDFG spokesperson Jennifer Jackson tells Outdoor Life. "But the huge animal continued its charge toward the man. The cow knocked the hunter to the ground, so he fired a third shot hitting the animal at close range. The moose then turned and ran away, allowing the hunter to escape."
Jackson says the hunter was using "shotgun bird shot" but she did not specify the gauge or type of turkey loads he was presumably using — only that he shot the moose at point-blank range. "The moose was literally standing right over the hunter when he fired his third shot," she says.

After leaving the area, the hunter reported the incident to IDFG. He told officials he was "bruised up" but never sought medical attention for his injuries. The hunter also noted that as he was walking away, he saw the same cow moose bedded nearby. He then watched as the moose stood up to graze while its two calves nursed as if nothing had ever happened.
Jackson says the cow's condition is unknown, and that wildlife officers have not tried searching for the family of moose. She adds that it's a good sign the cow was still able to nurse its calves.
"It's a tricky proposition with moose in spring," Jackson explains. "We want to keep our distance because she has calves and we don't want to stress her, and perhaps orphan her young."

Jackson says encounters between moose and people happen every spring in Idaho, and most of these incidents involve cows with newborn calves. The same can be said for moose in other states, and a recent incident when a cow with two calves killed a photographer in Alaska is a reminder of how aggressive these critters can be. With these dangers in mind, Jackson recommends that people carry bear spray and know how to use it when spending time outdoors.
"Wild animals don't need to have sharp teeth and claws to be formidable animals that can be dangerous," Jackson says. "Moose are a joy to observe, but they are not cute and cuddly. They are wild, and in spring are more defensive and [they] present a different level of danger that people should know about."
