Dr Martens' best-selling 'softest' sandals are 'so comfy from first wear' have 30% off
As we welcome a new season, one added bonus for fashion fans, alongside the warmer weather, is the abundance of spring sales with some of our favourite brands. Dr Martens , the renowned shoe giant, has rolled out price cuts on some of its top-selling designs as summer approaches. And one particular style that hits the mark for being as comfortable and functional as they are fashionable are the Gryphon Tumbled Nubuck Leather Platform Sandals . Now priced at £98, down from £140, they've had a pretty big 30% saving. While summer is still a few months away, there is a heatwave rumoured to be gracing us any day now and so this could be the ideal opportunity to snag a new pair of summer sandals - especially with a tempting £42 discount.

The shoes feature signature details like the iconic yellow welt stitching and branded hardware, combining durability with style. The olive green suede upper is not only durable but also bang on trend, reports the Mirror . Although those not too fussed on the signature Dr Martens details, some alternative sandals are cheaper and on sale - for example, Schuh's Tina Chunky Suede sandals in Khaki are currently £24.99 down from £48. A shopper praised the Tina sandal: "Really nice, comfy sandal. I'm not normally a sandal person, but I love these." Heavenly Feet's Saffron sandals are £49.95 and come in a wider range of colours, including mustard, lilac and fuchsia. Although for ultimate Dr Martens fans, the Gryphon sandals' sturdiness and comfort level have been celebrated by shoppers, echoed by its 4.7 star rating. One happy buyer shared their experience with the shoes and said: "For someone hard on shoes, these are perfect. "Very comfortable and the thick Doc soles are perfect for all terrain. Wore them on an African adventure and they have withstood water, sand, rocks, shale and everything in between and still look like they came out the box." A desirable feature that customers have been delighted with is that, unlike a lot of Dr Martens footwear , the sandals don't have that tedious and notorious break-in time. This particular pair has been lauded as comfortable straight out of the box. One wearer said: "Look good, feel great. No rubbing, even when out walking for hours. Wish I bought these in the black leather as well. Will do if we get a summer!". Someone else added: "Fantastic be perfect for the spring/summer be worn with from day one.... colour is exactly what one would expect from Dr Martens!" However, it's important to note that they might not be the best fit for individuals with wider feet, as some buyers have mentioned they find them quite snug across the foot. One buyer remarked: "Look lovely, feel soft but not suitable for wide feet, sent back." Another wrote: "Perfect. Look lovely and so so comfy from the first wear, really happy with this purchase after a disastrous experience with mules which broke on the first wear. I really recommend these sandals if you are looking for statement footwear that isn't black but goes with everything."

Bestselling Dr. Martens sandals that are 'so comfy from day one' are slashed by £42
Dr. Martens has discounted the price of its iconic Gryphon sandals by £42 in time for summer, and shoppers have been praising their sturdiness and comfortability With a new season officially here, that brings one major thing: spring sales. And Dr. Martens had reduced the price of some of their best-selling styles ahead of summer. One style in particular that has caught shoppers' attention for being comfy and practical as well as stylish. The Gryphon Tumbled Nubuck Leather Platform Sandals have been discounted from £140 to £98 - that's a huge 30% off. With the heatwave on its way, now is the perfect time to invest in a new pair of summer sandals, and £42 off is too good a deal to miss out on. These sandals are the latest update of Dr Martens' iconic Gryphon sandal. So what's different? They've been given lift with a chunky Quad sole, and they're crafted from super-soft Tumbled Nubuck leather that feels just as good as it looks. Featuring the classic Doc's details you know and love, like the signature yellow welt stitching and branded hardware, these sturdy sandals are built to last. And the beige suede upper is right on trend. Their durability is one of their selling points and a feature that shoppers love the most. One satisfied shopper said: "For someone hard on shoes - these are perfect! Very comfortable and the thick Doc soles are perfect for all terrain. Wore them on an African adventure and they have withstood water, sand, rocks, shale and everything in between and still look like they came out the box." Another bonus of these sandals is how comfy they are. This is not always the case with Dr Martens shoes, which often have to be broken in. However, this pair is ready to go from the get-go. A second shopper added: "Look good, feel great. No rubbing, even when out walking for hours. Wish I bought these in the black leather as well. Will do if we get a summer!" It's worth bearing in mind that these may not work for wider feet, as shoppers have stated they can be quite tight across the width of your foot. One shopper wrote: "Look lovely, feel soft but not suitable for wide feet, sent back." A few other sandals we're loving for the summer include the UGG Goldenstar Sandals in Chestnut, priced at £110, and the Clarks Evamar Wish Leopard Print Sandals, priced at £95.
