Next's chunky sandals can be worn for 12 hours without getting blisters – they're a stylish & comfy city break must-have
Summer is the perfect time to ditch clunky boots and bring out some cute sandals. But let's be honest: as much as we love them, sandals can come with one major downside—blisters. However, shoppers have been raving about a game-changing pair from Next that keep you blister-free and are ideal for city breaks. The sandals in question are their Standard Chunky Buckled Sandals which come in a wide fit size. They come in four colours to match your holiday wardrobe - white, black, red and metallic blue - and thankfully don't break the bank. You can pick up a pair for £38, and they come in sizes three to nine. Helpfully the shoe also comes in half sizes so you can get the perfect summer fit without any pinching in the heat. The shoe boasts a five-star rating, with numerous shoppers gushing about it in the reviews. One person shared that although they thought they were 'chunky' at first, they have since fallen in love with them. They wrote: 'Really comfy, no need to wear them in first, good shape so no trips yet, gives a bit of an edge to linen trousers & will be trying with dresses of different styles & lengths soon. 'I work in Leeds twice a week & use the back entrance of the station which is a long way from canal level, so don't trust myself in slides/mules. 'Risked wearing them from home to home last week (12 ish hours) and passed the first wear test brilliantly.' 'I can feel the blisters' shoppers cry as River Island becomes latest high street store to jump on 'painful' 90s shoe trend Another shopper added: 'Excellent comfort and the size was perfect.' Next has a host of chunky sandals on their website and in stores, which could be perfect for summer breaks or day outs. They also have a stylish Birkenstock dupe which comes in a gorgeous tan colour and costs £35. The Leather Standard Fit Forever Comfort Back Strap Footbed Sandals comes in both a regular and wide-fit sizing, and also boasts glowing five-star reviews. One person wrote: 'Very comfy, robust sandals for walking and sightseeing. 'Excellent value for money compared to similar brand name sandals.' Meanwhile, their Forever Comfort Slot Mule Sandals comes in eight colours - including tan, black and white, and is slightly more purse-friendly at £24. People have also raved about how the shoe is 'great for holidays' and doesn't 'rub on holiday in the evening heat.' The shoes could be the perfect option if you are looking to combine being stylish with having the ultimate comfort. We previously shared how a style profession revealed the summer shoes to avoid if you don't want to look frumpy. The strict shoe rule all royal women follow WE notice lots of things about royal women, from their impeccable outfits and glossy hair, but there is a strict rule when it comes to shoes too. For official engagements or outings when representing the royal family it's considered bad etiquette to wear open shoes as they're seen to be too informal. And this is a rule all of the women in the royal family have to abide by. Taking a look back at Kate Middleton's outfits, she's always one to wear a court style and it turns out it's not by choice (even though they do always look great). Female guests at the royal wedding were also told to avoid flashing their toes. That wasn't the only dress-code instruction either, they were advised to wear dresses that covered their shoulders and that were midi length or longer.

It sold out once - we predict the Tu Bucket Bag will sell out once again
Metro journalists select and curate the products that feature on our site. If you make a purchase via links on this page we will earn commission – learn more You should know by name our achilles heel is a great bag, specifically a designer bag.

We have found high end looking bags from M&S, as well as other high street retailers, such as River Island and Mango.

Buy Now for £20 If you think the Belted Bag looked familiar, you'd be right as the classic silhouette previously launched at Sainsbury's, but it has been modified ahead of the upcoming launch. More Trending The sculptural design features winged opening, which means you can fit even more inside than you assume. It features a short top handle that can be clasped in the hands, or worn over the arm. However, it also features a long cross-body strap so you can wear the bag over the shoulder on the long strap or across the body. The bag comes in a sleek black colourway and features a belt around the top with gold accents for a sleek finish. The bag is super stylish, versatile and affordable. But the best part is it looks very similar to DeMellier's The Midi New York Bag, which also boasts a winged silhouette, buckle and gold accent detail around the centre, as well as a short and long strap. However, it retails for £445, which means you could save £245 on your accessory.

Boden white summer dress with 'perfect' fit is on sale
The Boden Anna dress is made using 100% cotton and comes in three different lengths - including petite, regular and tall Summer is arguably the easiest to dress of all seasons, there's no layering required and all we need is a one-and-done piece that takes us through sunny days. The Boden Anna Double Cloth Midi Dress is loved by many shoppers who claim it has the "perfect fit". The 100% cotton frock retails at £98 online but Boden shoppers can get 15% off with the code: W7CX and purchase it for £83.30, both in White and Woodland Green. The Jam Red alternative is reduced to £68.60 and the Bright Blue option is further marked down to £58.80. The dress is designed with a flattering fit-and-flare shape as well as pockets. It also comes in UK sizes 4 - 22 in various lengths - petite, regular and long. One enthusiastic customer wrote: "Love this dress - have it in three colours. Material is so nice and looks very flattering on. Bonus that it has pockets too." Another buyer also echoed this, saying: "So good I have it in three colours." The soft fabric and the swishy tiered skirt keep the wearer cool while the border waistband creates a flattering silhouette and slimmer waistline. The dress has a lined bodice to create a smoother, more comfortable fit. Other reviewers have reported receiving compliments from strangers while wearing the dress. One said: "Love this dress. Great fit and colour (blue). Even had a stranger in the street stop to compliment me. Sits beautifully by skimming curves but shaping at the waistline without pinching. Love the sleeve length too. Just the right coverage for my top of arms." But another found it 'ill fitting', explaining: "It's too big and low at the bust and far too long." A shopper also agreed and returned the dress as she shared: "Unfortunately around the bust area there was to much material and it sat away from my body gaping and exposing my bra." Shoppers on the hunt for summery white dresses are in luck with New Look's White Crinkled Frilly Trim Midi Dress at £24.99. This 100% cotton frock is breezy with a relaxed fit and Bohemian frills, while Next offers a pricier 100% linen midi dress at £65, complete with chic shirred elasticated details. For something a tad more glam, River Island hits the mark with a bow-detailed White Sleeveless Bow Detail Corset Dress for £46 in black or pink, reports OK!. Fashionistas have raved about the Boden Anna Double Cloth Midi Dress with one remarking: "True to size - beautiful colour. Great item that can be dressed up or down." While another review read: "Love it. Very flattering, perfect fit and length. It's quite heavy with the double cloth but excellent quality. I'm sure I will wear it a lot."
