Get summer festival ready with these chunky Dr Martens that are now under £100 in the sale.
Dr Martens continues to be one of the trendiest footwear brands available. With festival season underway, a pair of these chunky shoes wouldn't look out of place at the likes of TRNSMT or Creamfields.
For anyone who still needs to complete their outfit for any upcoming gigs they have planned, the beloved UK brand has just launched a massive summer sale across boots, sandals, platforms and accessories.
While there are many styles to choose from, shoppers cannot seem to stop gushing over the Gryphon Tumbled Nubuck Leather Platform Sandals that are now 30 per cent less after being dropped from £140 to just £98.
Said to be "super comfy" even from the first wear, these chunky sandals can be bought at the reduced price in sizes three to nine across three colours - savannah tan, khaki and powder pink.
Standing on a high-rise quad sole with straps crafted from a soft tumbled nubuck leather, the Gryphon sandals have been earning glowing praise from shoppers who say they "don't rub" and "feel like slippers" when worn.

Product Description
True to the brand's well-regarded craftsmanship, they are said to be "well engineered" and "packed with Doc's DNA", ensuring customers are getting exceptional value for money.
Finished with the iconic yellow welt stitching along the sole and the AirWair heel loop, the upper and sole are heat-sealed and sewn together, "providing more comfort and durability for years to come."
While Dr Martens are known for their quality, shoppers who don't mind a pair that come without the brand name, and the price-tag, can check out New Look's Black Faux Leather Fisherman Sandal s for a more affordable £32.99.
Another pair that we have spotted with an eerily similar design to Doc's are the Orianna Twist Black Leather Sandals that are half-price at Clarks, as they have been dropped from £80 to just £40.
Of course, taking advantage of the Dr Martens sale might be on some fashion fans' agenda, as the Gryphon Sandals have consistently been the subject of praise from shoppers who say they are "so comfy" that they are "like slippers."
One five-star review read: "I bought a 2nd pair of these sandals in nubuck because my black leather ones are so comfy and I never have them off in summer. I didn't think any sandal could beat them for comfort but these new ones are even softer, they don't rub and they are not hard under foot. Well done Dr Martens best ever!"
A second shopper echoed: "I took a chance and wore these for the first time on a day out and they are just unbelievably comfortable! No rubbing at all. I have large, wide feet and really didn't expect these to fit with the first strap being non adjustable but I'm so pleased that they fit and look great with loads of outfits. My summer shoe sorted!"
Fashion deal of the week
New Balance has just launched a massive sale ahead of the summer, with up to half-price off.
For those who don't want their feet to get sore during the day, the Women's 327 Shoes have earned a glowing reputation from thousands of shoppers, with praise suggesting they are "like walking on clouds."
Usually retailing at £100, these lace-up trainers are now available to purchase for just £60, saving 40 percent and £40 off the RRP.
Initially designed as running shoes that have been inspired by the 1970's, the New Balance 327 boasts an angular reworking of the classic wedge silhouette and an adjustable lace-closure design for a customized fit.
The wraparound, trail-inspired lug outsole makes these trainers a supportive choice for those on their feet all day, whether that be during physical exercise or when out on city breaks during the summer.
As of writing, the 40 percent discount covers three colours - slate grey, bone and raincloud - with sizes ranging from three to eight, including half-sizes, although some are being snapped up fast.
They currently boast a 4.6 rating based on over 3,000 reviews, as one thrilled customer wrote: "Not only do these look good, they're the comfiest trainers I've ever worn! Walked around London for 2 days & I felt like I was walking on clouds!"
A second positive review read: "Walking on Air! They are the most comfortable shoe I've ever had. I've tossed out all my On Cloud's, Nike's & Hoka's. I plan on buying another air for the summer."

Someone else praised: "These have become my new favourites. I've worn them everyday since they arrived. I love them. Because they are soft leather I didn't have to break them in. Comfortable straight away."
Due to their chunkier size, a few reviews have suggested they are quite "heavy" to wear. One such shopper said: "Really soft, fitted well, lovely colour but…had to send back. They're sooo heavy, I feel as though I'd be tripping up loads! It's a shame but I'll order some more that aren't platform and hopefully they'll be ok."
Although, someone else who did find they rubbed slightly still left a glowing five-star review that read: "Excellent. They do rub a little at the back but otherwise like slippers."
Dr Martens' Gryphon Tumbled Nubuck Leather Platform Sandals are on sale for 30 per cent less now.
