Shoppers are raving about M&S’ ‘comfy and easy to wear’ £25 summer sandals which look just like classic Birkenstocks. Not only are they an affordable alternative but they’ll go with everything….
The M&S 2024 holiday shop is here, making me want to book a summer holiday ASAP. If you already have one booked, or are planning a warm-weather trip over the coming months then M&S have tons of suitcase essentials to see you through the jet-setting season in style. From east breezy midi dresses to high summer raffia totes and chic footwear designed with your comfort in mind, it’s become our one-stop shop this season.
You might have many summer outfits sorted, but have you considered your footwear? Comfortable shoes for the summer months are an important purchase with the hot weather making feet swell which can result in painful blisters. Birkenstocks are a brand well known for their comfort qualities and are a worthwhile investment if you want to treat your feet.
There are tons of styles, colours and fabrics to choose from including suede, leather and ‘EVA’ which is ultra-light and highly flexible. You can shop the classic Arizona style in stone (if you like neutral shades) for £85 here.
Those on a tighter budget looking for a cheaper alternative might be pleased to discover M&S’s buckled footbed sandals, for £25 here which are very similar to the £65 Birkenstock ‘Madrid’ design. Unlike the Arizona, these have one buckle strap across the front.
The M&S mule-style design features an adjustable buckle to give a secure fit if you have narrower feet, whilst the padded footbed sits on a flat heel for comfort. Plus, you needn’t worry about sweaty feet or odours either as the antibacterial technology in the soles keeps feet fresh all day too- genius!
Unsurprisingly, the slip-on sandals have already received rave reviews from shoppers since launching who have been quick to spot the bargain buy. Chic, yet practical, they have been praised for their comfort qualities.
“Great summer shoes. Fit around your feet perfectly. They are so comfortable too,” said one happy buyer. Whilst another commented, “Good value sandals. Will be ideal for summer. Bought the navy and silver. Ideal for me as have narrow feet and can adjust to fit. Very pleased with them. More colours please.”
Designed in a regular fit, the sandals might be a little narrow if you have wider feet, one shopper suggested, ” These are really good value but not really suitable for anything other than narrow feet.”
However, M&S do cater for wider fittings too, alternatively you might like these leather strappy sandals, £49.50 here.
“If you’re on the hunt for other M&S bargains, check out the M&S Summer Beauty Bag, £30 here when you spend £35 online, which is filled with beauty treats worth £170 from top brands like REN and Clinique.
Otherwise, carry on browsing for comfy sandals at Fitflop, these buckle two-bar leather slides, £125 here with their ‘Microwobbleboard’ Technology are the ultimate sandals for city breaks and sunny strolls along the beachfront.
