Crocs classic clogs get an almost 50% price cut bringing them down to less than £30
Whether you're a fan or not, there's no denying the Croc resurgence we've been seeing over the past few years. Bedazzled and heeled Crocs were seen all over Simone Rocha's SS24 runway show, while new styles including flip flop Crocs and chunky platform Crocs have come about, and helped give them a fashion edge.
And if you love the controversial shoe, you're in luck as you can grab a pair of the OGs for less than £30 in a limited time Amazon sale. The Classic Clogs are typically priced between £40 and £50, depending on retailers, but with Amazon's almost 50% discount, you can grab them for £28.
These comfy clogs are lightweight, super easy to clean, and designed with those iconic ventilation holes that keep things cool and breezy, plus, they let water and sand drain right out, which is perfect for beach days or boat trips.
The Croslite™ material is what gives them that soft, cushiony feel that moulds perfectly to your foot, and the heel strap keeps everything secure while you're on the move.
With over 400,000 reviews and an average rating of 4.5 stars, it's clear these iconic shoes have some big fans. Shoppers most commonly praise them for their comfort, durability, and lightweight design.
One shopper finally gave into the divisive shoe, and wrote: "I never thought I'd say this, but I'm genuinely impressed with my first pair of Crocs. Admittedly, I used to hate the style—just the thought of wearing them made me cringe—but I decided to give them a try, and I'm so glad I did. The comfort level is incredible! They feel like walking on clouds, and the rear band works brilliantly for a secure fit. On top of that, they're super versatile"
While a second said: "Practical , robust and comfortable. Good for gardening, short walks and easy to clean".
A flag from shoppers, however, was that the Crocs show up on the larger and wider side, so we recommend sizing down if you're in between sizes.
If you're not convinced by Crocs, why not try out the Birkenstock rubberised Super Birkis, loved by Meghan Markle herself. These are the perfect chuck-on-and-go clogs for gardening and other practical tasks around the house.

Nicola Sturgeon's memoir cut to half price within hours of release
SUNDAY MAIL EXCLUSIVE: The former FM's memoirs were being flogged for £14 while some signed copies were going for triple the RRP. Online sellers were flogging copies of Nicola Sturgeon 's book for half price less than 24 hours after its release. Amazon was among those selling 'Frankly' for just £14 on Friday, the day after the former First Minister launched the memoir. Last night the book had reached number one in Amazon's women's biography category and it was the eighth best selling overall. Profiteering book merchants were also trying to flog signed copies for nearly three times the £28 RRP. First edition signed copies of Frankly are listed on Ebay for up to £69.99. It comes after Waterstones decided to start selling the book days before it was supposed to be released, stating there had been no sales embargo. Sturgeon fans flocked to stores in Glasgow to grab a copy on Monday - three days before it's official August 14 release date. Political rivals and critics have blasted elements of the book, accusing Sturgeon of writing an inaccurate account of events such as the scandal involving sexual harassment complaints against Alex Salmond, and her Gender Recognition Reform policy. Among those most critical include Salmond allies Alex Neil and Kenny MacAskill, and Scottish Labour deputy Jackie Baillie. Positive reviews have come from celebrities, politicians and authors including Alan Cumming, Garbage lead singer Shirley Manson, writer Douglas Stuart and former Welsh First Minister Mark Drakeford.

Publishers issue warning on AI-created books imitating sports autobiographies
The publishing industry has warned that books created by artificial intelligence - often imitating autobiographies - are a growing concern, and called on retailers to issue clearer warnings to consumers. Sky News has spent months tracking apparent AI recreations, particularly sports books, that have been sold on Amazon as Kindle e-books, as well as printed versions. Some titles were removed after we informed the e-commerce giant. But we understand there are no immediate plans for Amazon to label content that AI was involved in generating. "AI created books are an increasing problem for us," Publishers Association chief executive Dan Conway told Sky News. "It is incredibly easy using these new, amazing tools to create content. "The problem is that on the consumer side, it's really, really difficult to tell the difference often between a properly researched book that covers a topic that you want to read about versus something that's been spun up incredibly quickly using AI technology. And you've got some real consumer confusion out there." In recent days, we found several books quickly feeding off England's success at the Women's Euros, which appeared to be created by AI. Books on scoring stars Chloe Kelly and Michelle Agyemang shared the same style covers, even featuring the wrong ball - from American football. Fewer than 50 pages each, they sell in paperback for about £11. The Agyemang book was published the day after her dramatic equaliser in the Euros semifinal against Italy, while the Kelly book appeared online the day after her winning penalty in the final against Spain. The named author, who has no digital trail beyond Amazon and other online retailers, has more than 45 books to their name since the start of July, on politicians, scientists, entrepreneurs and musicians, as well as sports stars. It is frustrating for sports stars telling heartfelt stories in books only to see imitations online, confusing consumers. 'It's scary' At the recent Sports Book Awards, former England football captain Steph Houghton was shocked to be told about a 50-page imitation of her autobiography, Leading From The Back, which runs for more than 300 pages. "It takes a lot of hard work to make a book," she said. "It's poor that, in terms of Amazon allowing it to be on there as well." Former Liverpool and Tottenham player Neil Ruddock was in disbelief about a book aping Toxic, his account of addiction, Toxic. His literary agent, James Wills, said: "We do have a real concern about generative AI, which is what this is, somebody putting it in and using it that way." Former Afghanistan football captain Khalida Popal produced My Beautiful Sisters, a harrowing account of sexual abuse in her team and helping players flee the Taliban. She was stunned to be shown a similar account of her life had been produced and placed on sale online. "It's scary," the award winner told Sky News. "This story matters a lot. It's the voices and the stories of hundreds and thousands of women who suffered and who are victims and survivors of brutality and war, and challenges in Afghanistan. "Those sisters, those voices and stories, are very important for me. That's why I really took care of it, telling that story." Those AI versions of the Popal, Ruddock and Houghton books are no longer available on Amazon but they were for some time without it being obvious how they could have been created. What is Amazon doing? An Amazon spokesperson told Sky News: "We have content guidelines governing which books can be listed for sale, and we have proactive and reactive methods that help us detect content that violates our guidelines, whether AI-generated or not. "We invest significant time and resources to ensure our guidelines are followed, and remove books that do not adhere to those guidelines. "We aim to provide the best possible shopping, reading, and publishing experience, and we are constantly evaluating developments that impact that experience, which includes the rapid evolution and expansion of generative AI tools. "We continue to enhance our protections against non-compliant content, and our process and guidelines will keep evolving as we see changes in publishing." People releasing books via Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP) are required to inform Amazon if content is AI-generated, but that information is not passed on to consumers. KDP authors can be asked by Amazon to verify their identities. Unofficial biographies are a staple of the publishing industry, often written by journalists on celebrities and politicians, but involving their own research and writing. The growing concern is the limited human involvement in putting together books - without it being clear to those browsing online platforms and searching for books to buy. Those churning out AI books are often rapidly reacting to news, such as the election of Pope Leo in May, when few could have been prepared to write at such length about him. The Publishers Association is discussing the framework for AI with the government. "These large language models that exist now are so powerful that it's become incredibly easy to create content of all types," Mr Conway said. "You've effectively got the threat of information saturation.
