With holidays booked and UK temperatures soaring, a supportive, breathable pair of shoes is crucial. This summer, shoppers are ditching traditional flip flops for a design said to be "much nicer and comfier". The Crocs Getaway Platform Strappy Sandals offer a soft, flexible option which "move effortlessly with your foot", ensuring flexibility when walking. They are super lightweight, great for long hours of wear, and the minimalistic three-strap look has even won over usual Crocs "haters".
Amazon Prime Day Deal
Typically priced at £39.99 a pair, the Crocs Getaway Platform Strappy Sandals are currently on offer in the Amazon Prime Day sale which ends at midnight tonight (June 26). Prices vary depending on colour and size, with options as low as £26.49. According to the article, one shopper said in a five-star review: "So comfortable, like walking on sponges. Really helped my feet with the arch. So many lovely colours too. Recommend these."
Shopper Reviews
Another fan of the sandals said: "Brilliant price from Amazon compared to direct from Croc. So soft and comfy. Look really nice too. Much nicer than normal flip flops." A third happy purchaser wrote: "I'll be wearing these all summer now, so comfortable sizing perfect never wear flip flop again." While this shopper added: "I despise the look of standard Crocs but saw these and thought I'd give them a go. They are so comfy! Very light and coming on holiday next year instead of flip flops!"
Sizing Considerations
However, some have mentioned the sandals running small, which is worth keeping in mind. One review reads: "Lovely but I need a size up from my usual size." Another buyer added: "Good quality but small fitting. Got a refund and didn't have to return the product. Not much use though as they don't fit."
Alternative Options
Alternatively, shoppers might consider the Clarks Cloudsteppers range. The popular collection focuses on underfoot comfort, designed to deliver "walking on air" levels of ease with every stride. Within the range is the lavender Brinkley Reyna sandals. Usually priced at £35, they've been slashed by more than 30% to £24 as part of the high-street store's summer sale. Meanwhile, FitFlop is offering 40% off a huge selection of styles, including the LULU Resin-Buckle Leather Cross Slides. Fashioned in sleek black, the LULU sandals feature crossover straps with a statement tortoiseshell and gold buckle. They are made from smooth leather with soft padding which provides natural arch support while diffusing pressure as you walk. Sizes range from three to nine with half sizes available. One buyer left a five-star review which reads: "Super comfy. Hooked on FitFops for life. Every style I've purchased has been great."
