Marks and Spencer shoppers have been commending a pair of "comfortable" sandals that will go with virtually every outfit this summer.
With holiday season virtually on the horizon, now would be the right time to pick up some affordable and stylish footwear that you can pack into your suitcase. Luckily, it looks like M&S has the pair you need.
The pair in question are the retailer's Leather Footbed Sandals, that are priced at just £25. Not to mention that they look remarkably similar to the iconic Birkenstock Sandals which cost £65, reports the Manchester Evening News.
M&S' summer sandals, available in dark tan and navy, are made from responsibly sourced leather. Featuring M&S' Insolia Flex, the sandals make walking in flats more comfortable by ensuring your foot is correctly placed within your shoes, and improving the natural rotational movement of the ball of the foot.
Finished with a timeless and versatile buckle design, the shoes are available to be purchased in sizes 3-8 on the Marks and Spencer website.
Savvy shoppers will know that the £25 Leather Footbed Sandals are not the first Birkenstock 'dupes' that M&S have stocked recently. The retailer's Leather Two Strap Sandals, also priced at £25, were hailed as a "good value" version of the summer staple by fashion fans recently.
With an impressive 4.3 out of 5 star rating and nearly 400 five-star reviews on the M&S website, the Leather Footbed Sandals have been a hit with shoppers who say they are "comfortable" to be worn all summer long.
One glowing review read: "I used to buy Birkenstock sandals. I came across these and read another reviewer who bought from the same company. I have to say these are so comfortable and you can tighten or loosen them. I could not believe the price. The leather is a little bit thinner than the other company. I am going to buy in another colour. Well done Marks and Spencer."
A second happy shopper wrote: "Very comfortable and light. Bought two pairs of both colours - I like them so much. Super for everyday summer wear. Even have a pair as slippers."
A third impressed reviewer wrote: "My fourth pair which probably says it all. Still wearing the first ones - they just don’t wear out, just wanted a different colour. Excellent arch support and the ridge under my toes is in exactly the right place. Every bit as good as my well-known brand ones. Highly recommend."
While a fourth added: "Great comfortable sandals. Neutral colour goes with everything and v reasonable price too."
Shoppers can purchase the £25 Leather Footbed Sandals from the Marks and Spencer website.
