New Look shoppers have praised the shoes as "comfy enough to wear the whole evening" New Look customers are gushing over a "stunning" pair of shoes that are flying off the virtual shelves. The retailer, known for its trendy fashion must-haves, has recently seen a surge in buzz around one particular item. Priced at £39.99, the Silver Multi Strap Diamanté Block Heel Sandals have also been released in gold and come in sizes four to nine. The shoes are registered by The Vegan Society and are completely animal free. Featuring a faux leather look, a sturdy block heel, a standard fit and an adjustable buckled strap, these sandals come with an open toe design and are enhanced with shimmering diamanté details across their straps. In New Look's product description, it states: "Dance the occasion away in these diamanté-embellished block-heel sandals, designed with a multi-strap silhouette and supportive Comfort features." The sandals boast an impressive online rating of 4.8 stars, alongside numerous glowing reviews from happy buyers. One customer commented, "Padding makes them comfortable and they have a flattering shape at the front, love the subtle sparkle. Will be able to wear all day and night," reports the Mirror. Another review expressed delight: "Gorgeous heels! Super sparkly, really comfy and a great fit. They look really expensive on and make my outfit pop. I always stay true to size in New Look heels, the fit is usually spot on. The back strap is faffy as it crosses over but once you adjust it a bit it's fine." A third shopper enthused: "My daughter wore these for her prom, with a deep red coloured dress and a glittery handbag to match. They went perfectly together. Block heels are nice and stable but not a chunky appearance. Comfy enough to wear the whole evening with no blisters!" A fourth chimed in: "Gorgeous! Wow! These shoes are stunning, the photos don't do them justice. I received so many compliments!" The commendations didn't stop there, as one buyer remarked: "Beautiful shoes soooo comfortable but stylish." Another added their praise stating: "Great sandals that go with everything." Meanwhile, a different customer said: "These heels are so comfortable and look stunning." However, some shoppers voiced concerns about the fit of the straps. One shopper pointed out: "The ankle straps are far too small. I've small ankles and once done up, it feels like the blood supply has been cut off." Another comment noted: "They are pretty comfortable, but as someone with really thin ankles I was surprised to see that I could only use the first hole of the strap as the strap itself is really short." For those seeking alternatives, Next offers the Gold Standard/Wide Fit Forever Comfort Block Heel Sandals priced at £32. ASOS lists the Nikita knotted platform heeled sandals in natural fabrication at £32, and River Island features the Pink Pearl Perspex Heeled Mule Sandals for £42.

Another said: "Great sandals and very comfortable even for my wide feet," reports the Mirror. Yet another added: " Amazing fit, perfect in every way." An additional shopper shared their satisfaction: "Great fit and light weight considering they have a thick sole. Hopefully be nice and comfy when the sun finally shine!" One more chimed in: "I absolutely love the look and quality of these sandals. They're so comfortable and are a summer staple!" Meanwhile, another happy customer remarked: "They are just as they look in the picture, so comfy, perfect size, they gave a velcro strap so you can make the instep strap bigger. Love them.

However, not all feedback was glowing regarding the trendy sandals, especially concerning their fit. One person observed: "I thought by the photo that they would be a normal width sandal but they are so slim. I sized up and still very tight." Moreover, someone else noted: "Not very generous with sizing, I have wide-ish feet and even though there is a Velcro strap, it doesn't allow you to make your foot fit comfortably. I tried both 5 (my usual shoe size) and 6 and they were both way too tight. Wouldn't recommend!"
