Amazon slashes £16 off Crocs sandals that shoppers ‘can walk in for miles'
Amazon has slashed the price of Crocs' platform sandals by 36% in a limited time deal and shoppers have been praising their comfortability and lightweight feel Love them or hate them, there's no denying the Croc resurgence we've been seeing over the past few and heeled Crocs were spotted all over Simone Rocha's SS24 catwalk show, while new styles including flip flop Crocs and chunky platform Crocs have emerged, lending them a fashionable edge. And if you've not quite been convinced by the classic clog, you'll be pleased to hear that there's a slightly more fashion-forward and summer-appropriate style currently reduced on Amazon. The exact style we're talking about is the Getaway Platform H-Strap Sandal, which have been discounted from its usual £44.99 to £27 - £30 (depending on size). There are various colours available, however, it's is just the Quartz colour that has the limited-time 36% discount. These chunky sandals are a part of the Crocs' most comfortable collection yet, thanks to their Free Feel Technology that makes it feel like you're not even wearing anything on your feet. The straps are smooth and flexible, which ensures no rubbing or digging in and makes them perfect for long, hot days out. Not to mention the subtle platform is perfect if you want to add a little extra height without having to wear an uncomfortable heel or wedge. It's worth noting, however, these sandals have a wide, roomy fit so if you've got narrow feet, they may feel a little too loose. Shoppers can't seem to get enough of these chunky shoes, with hundreds of glowing reviews. One customer wrote: "I am a big Crocs fan and have had this style before but with a thinner platform. Well I am not disappointed, Crocs are really upping their game when it comes to comfort. I can walk in these for miles! Love them to bits, true to size and super quick dispatch" A seconded added: "I love these!!!. Comfortable, true to size and lightweight. Not had a blister yet and worn them a lot. Great price at £27 though they were more purple than they looked in the picture I still love them." The main criticism from shoppers was about sizing issues. A few claim that these run smaller, so we suggest sizing up from your usual to ensure ultimate comfortability. If the Quartz colourway is not your style, Crocs is also running a sale on this style at the moment with the black ones available for £31.49. In other sale news, Fitflop has kicked off its massive summer sale, which sees up to 40% off best-selling styles. Our top picks include the GEN-FF Leather Fisherman Sandals, now £98 down from £130, and the GEN-FF Leather Back-Strap Toe-Post Sandals, now £88 down from £125. Happy Crocing!

With holiday time quickly approaching, it's important to make sure your suitcase is filled with cute yet comfortable outfits. One area that this ethos is particularly important to is footwear.

But these Fitflops prove that it doesn't have to be either style or substance - fashion fans can have both. These stylish leather flatforms, available in black, cream, and light tan, have been reduced from their original £90 price tag to just £63.

19 best sandals for women that are comfortable and supportive, recommended by a podiatrist: Birkenstocks, Crocs, Lululemon & more
As the temperatures start to rise and sunny days stretch longer, it's time to swap out those heavy shoes for something a little breezier. In summer 2025, supportive sandals are stepping up with smarter designs, ergonomic features and trend-forward looks that keep your feet happy all season long. Whether you're walking city streets for long distances, hitting the beach or just needing some stylish yet supportive footwear, we've got you covered. You'll want to consider some key factors when selecting footwear to keep your feet happy all summer long. According to Dr. Bruce Pinker, a board certified podiatrist and foot surgeon, you'll want to look for a sandal that offers arch support, cushioning, durability and breathability. There are a lot of factors to consider when selecting a supportive sandal for summer — and Pinker says to choose footwear that prioritizes both comfort and support. "Supportive sandals should have comfortable arch support, appropriate outsole traction for the intended activity, added cushion, durable uppers, adjustable straps and shock absorption. They should also fit securely with ankle straps for added support and a secure fit," he explains. The podiatrist also says to pay attention to how your toes sit at the end of the sandal, as well as the fit of the shoe around your entire foot. "Summer sandals should possess secure ankle straps to accommodate long walks. Also, there should be no overhang and there should be a comfortable, supportive arch," Pinker says. "Sandals are not suitable for a person's feet if they fit too tightly and cause blister formation, fit too loosely so that the footwear slides around when you walk or fit in such a way that the foot hangs over the edge of the footwear." Pinker also recommends wearing different types of sandals for different terrains or activities in the summer. "Hiking sandals are more appropriate for extended outdoor walks in the woods than fashion sandals. Hiking sandals are often very durable with enhanced traction on the outsole," he says. He also had a few other suggestions for the material of the sandal to keep feet cool and dry this summer. "Mesh and leather, which can be woven, are beneficial materials for keeping feet cool and dry. Rubber is also commonly incorporated into summer sandals." Need inspiration for the perfect summer sandals? Check out Pinker's picks — and reasoning — below. Pinker says that Fitflop is his personal favourite brand for sandals.
