Next shoppers hail 'very comfy' £29 sandals as 'like Birkenstocks' but 65% cheaper

Get summer ready with these summer sandals that are much cheaper than a pair of Birkenstocks. Many fashion fans will admit that a pair of Birkenstocks' Arizona Sandals are a summer must-have. However, like many big-name brands, they aren't exactly the cheapest. The iconic two-strap sandals have earned a legion of fans that includes celebrities such as Kendall Jenner and Margot Robbie. With prices starting from £85, it's no wonder many retailers have been offering their own versions at cheaper prices. One of them is Next, with the high street retailer's Forever Comfort® Double Strap Footbed Sandals being hailed as "similar" to the luxury brand's own footwear, but at just £29 a pair, they are a staggering £56 cheaper. Available in a standard fit, these sandals feature the same two-strap design, adjustable buckle fastening and upper suede material that shoppers say is "soft" and causes "no rubbing" on the top of the foot. With the suede-lined Forever Comfort Footbed, they have been designed to provide all day comfort, while the durable outsole has been designed to last, offering value for money. Available in sizes 3.5 to nine, these sandals can be bought in four colours - silver, neutral, coral pink and black.

Next isn't the only retailer to offer a 'dupe' for the iconic Birkenstocks sandals, as New Look's own Mink Faux Leather Buckle Strap Sandals also offer a similar design for a humble £16.99. Over at Debenhams, shoppers can also find another affordable alternative with the EverAu Australia Mallard leather Twin Buckle Sandals that are on offer for £49.99, although they would usually cost £89.99. Shoppers keen on bagging Next's own summer sandals will be pleased by more than their price, which is 65 per cent less than Birkenstocks. They have multiple glowing reviews varying for each colour and they have been praised as "very comfortable" and also "good value." One of the positive reviews read: "Very comfortable sandals. Similar to Birkenstocks but half the price!" A second happy customer said: "I've been buying these for many years, always comfortable and good value. Would recommend."
