Frankie Bridge's 'comfy' sandals cost £28 and 'look more expensive'
The Loose Women panelist shared a series of outfit photos over the weekend and it was a pair of £27.99 New Look sandals that shoppers were left desperate to snap up
Sandal season is upon us and a chunky black sandal is the must-have style yet again this summer, as proven by Loose Women's Frankie Bridge. This weekend, the star stepped out in a stylish' high street pair that cost less than £30, with shoppers hailing them as 'the most comfy shoes to have ever graced my feet'.
The 36-year-old shared a series of half-term-ready outfits on Instagram over the weekend as part of her weekly 'Faves' series. One look saw the ex-Saturday's singer sport a smart-casual ensemble, consisting of a pair of elastic waist trousers, black tee, a leather jacket, complete with sunglasses, a chic bag and the aforementioned sandals.
The trousers, from Topshop, were a pinstripe bobbi boxer jogger in beige which have a relaxed feel and stretchy waist for ultimate comfort. We've seen Frankie wear a similar pair in the form of some slouchy pinstripe River Island jeans in the past, though the Topshop pair lend themselves more to the summer months with their lightweight fabric.
But it was her sandals that shoppers have been swooning over, having racked up a 4.6 star rating on the New Look website, where more than 280 shoppers have added their thoughts about the footwear. The Black Leather-Look Chunky Sliders cost £27.99 and boast a stylish chunky sole and cushioned padding. The retailer even tipped them as 'the perfect pair for all of your summer events.'
One shopper hailed them as: 'Literally the most comfy shoes to have ever graced my feet,' though another wrote: 'Too chunky for me. Looked funny but very comfy.'
Black Leather-Look Chunky Sliders
Product Description
Featuring a slip-on design with rip-tape fastening, they're ideal for wearing around the pool or out to dinner. As we know, Frankie is a petite 5'3', so the chunky sole is great for adding some height to an outfit without necessarily needing to opt for a pair of heels.
'Lovely comfy sandals that can be dressed up or down,' said another fashion fan. 'I love the adjustable top strap and they definitely look more expensive than they were. The footbed is also very cushioned and comfy to walk in.'
A fourth commented: 'Comfortable and stylish, these chunky sliders are a must in your Summer wardrobe. They fit like a dream and give that little bit of height needed. They are also super comfy!'
On the other hand, one shopper was disappointed at their longevity - but has still gone on to buy multiple pairs. They wrote: 'Love the look and style but the sole doesn't stand up to much usage. I bought two pairs last year and both split completely. However they aren't expensive and I wore them on repeat. You get what you pay for I guess. I like them enough to have bought a 3rd pair for this summer.'
Another was 'worried' they wouldn't look as good as they do in the photos but was pleased that 'they do'. 'I bought them for a holiday in a couple of months and wanted something I could walk a lot in and still feel comfortable and stylish. The material is soft and doesn't seem like it would rub at all. The footbed is soft and squidgy. As someone with narrow feet, I appreciate the velcro strap because it makes a world of difference to me. I do think these are overall a narrow fit though and maybe not great for wider feet.'
One holidaymaker said they walked 'miles' in the sandals with no complaints, commenting: 'I bought these for my summer holiday, and they are perfect. Very comfortable and feels good on the feet. Can walk with them miles and still comfy. '
While some style sources would suggest that jelly shoes and wooden clogs are the 'it shoe' for 2025, we firmly believe that there's still a place for the classic black sandal, and there are plenty on the market to choose from, from Dr Marten's Blaire Athena Leather Strap Sandals for £100, to the Black Raffia Platform Wedge Sandals from River Island, which come in at £36.
They're an accessory that can be styled with various outfits, working well with shorts, skirts, dresses, and even jeans. The key is about balancing the chunky sandals with other parts of the outfit, creating contrast with lighter colors or textures, which is exactly what Frankie did with her light coloured trousers.
And it's not just style that fans are looking to the Loose Women star for, either. Back in February when on holiday in Dubai, a follower asked the star what she uses on her eyebrows to keep them looking perfectly fluffy. Frankie replied: 'My day to day choice is Refy. On this trip I've been using Got2Be because it's waterproof.'

Joining presenter Jordan North on Capital Breakfast this week, the Dance Moms star said: "You know what's interesting? As hectic as life is, and as much as that noise goes on, I feel like Christopher and I discovered this beautiful house together. "And this house is earthquake proof, and it's fireproof, and bulletproof. "And you know, we discovered this house and found the keys, and we took the keys and locked ourselves in, and now it's like... You know what I mean? I feel like that with myself, I feel like that with him." Jordan then quizzed JoJo on whether she had found her 'happy place' with Chris. The US star gushed: "Oh my god, absolutely! We're having the best time. He's just the best! "I was saying this to my parents the other day. Like, I'm decently nice; he makes me look like I'm mean! "And I'm like known for being nice, that's the thing. People say to me, 'Oh, you're so nice'. "He makes me we want to be nicer, because he's such a nice human. He's the best egg in the batch!

World's sexiest volleyball star Kayla Simmons goes topless on beach as fans say ‘never been jealous of ocean until now'
KAYLA SIMMONS went topless and swam near sharks in her most Jaws-dropping photoshoot ever. The former university volleyball star modestly claimed she was just "playing mermaids". 19 Kayla Simmons lapped up both the sun and Instagram likes as fans foamed over 'one of her hottest' photoshoots Credit: 19 The fearless star went for a plucky dip Credit: 19 Fans believe Kayla was some-fin special Credit: 19 Admirers were awed by her boldness Credit: But her 1million Instagram followers believe it was more about thrills than gills as she dazzled on the beach and underwater. One admirer reflected: "Never been jealous of the ocean until now." Another fan claimed the social media sensation had "a smile to launch a thousand ships". Kayla's nautical but nice snaps included her lying on the sand in a bikini that was minus its upper half. She was also seen in a short video wading into the sea, still without a top. And once she plunged under, marine lovers might reckon some of the exotic sealife she was snapped with - including huge fish - was almost as impressive as Kayla's free-spirited dip. But woe betide anyone whispering that to her army of enthusiasts. One fan raved: "One of your hottest sets... so stunning Kayla!" Another wrote: "Everything about this is incredible." A third simply stated: "Most beautiful woman in the world." Kayla Simmons films herself in sauna wearing just a tiny bikini as 'world's sexiest volleyball player' sends fans wild And a fourth posted: "I love your natural beauty." A few observers did worry about what looked like sharks just metres away - with Kayla even seen swimming towards one such beast. And when she was asked where the snaps were taken, she replied: "First photo is Hawaii." That Pacific island state is home to around 40 types of shark - but nearly all those varieties are safe to humans, with bite attacks very rare. So Kayla probably felt safe beneath the surface being... "snapped". The part-time mermaid also proved she's a full-time marvel on Instagram - as she rapidly clocked up thousands of likes for her assortment of aquatic pics.
