Next's £38 'stylish' sandals are 'comfy and don't rub at all from first wear'
Shoppers at Next have claimed that an affordable pair of sandals is both comfortable and trendy right out of the box. Some opted for these over more expensive versions - and haven't stopped raving about the quality.
Shoppers can get the Chunky Buckled Sandals in four different colours (black, bone white, metallic blue and patent red) as well as a range of sizes (3-9) all for £38. In some options (ranging from sizes 5-8), people can pick a wide fit, offering a little extra comfort compared to the standard fitting without compromising on style.
On its website, a spokesperson for Next wrote: "Get ready for summer, with these holiday-friendly sandals. Featuring a strappy faux leather upper with adjustable buckle fastenings, an open toe and a smooth synthetic footbed, finished with a chunky outsole."
If the size and colour that shoppers want aren't available, similar styles are available elsewhere. People might like these faux Leather Buckle Strap Sandals from New Look (reduced from £29.99 to £22.49) or these V by Very Chunky Buckle Sandals (£35).
But, its the Chunky Buckled Sandals from Next which have proven popular with dozens of shoppers who shared their approval online. One said: "Lovely, comfy and look great! Most importantly, no rubbing at all!"
Another added: " So comfy, soles are quite heavy but not too much, straps are really soft. The width runs slightly big." A third wrote: "So comfortable and trendy!"
Someone else shared: "Lovely chunky wide fitting sandals, suit my feet perfectly." And, one more added: "They fit just right, very comfortable. No blisters yet which you can normally get with new sandals."
But, not all shoppers were happy with their shoes. One claimed: " Although I love the look of these sandals, I felt as I wore them for a few hours, the straps stretched and they started slipping down and off my heel. They also squeak as I walk. I wouldn't wear them if I had to walk any distance."
Another suggested they were "uncomfortable and very clunky". And, a third warned others: "They look good but the practicality of wearing them means the back strap is constantly falling off. I had them on the tightest setting and it still happened."
Shoppers who are getting ready for the UK summer, or planning a holiday abroad, can find lots of deals online in Next's dedicated Holiday Shop. It includes all the essentials - from casual daytime outfits to stylish swimwear and classy evening dresses.
