As summer social calendars fill up with weddings and special occasions, finding footwear that is both stylish and comfortable can be a challenge. Fortunately, Next's Forever Comfort Plait Crossover Wedges offer the perfect solution, combining timeless summer style with practical comfort that can take you from day to night with ease.
Design and Features
The wedges are priced at £39 and feature an espadrille-inspired wedge that creates a classic seasonal look while offering a flattering boost in height, making them an easy choice for special occasions to casual days out. The Crossover Wedges are available in three versatile shades—chocolate brown, white, and gold—which can be styled with almost anything. The white option pairs perfectly with floaty summer dresses, while the gold design adds a subtle touch of glamour for evening events.
The chocolate brown colour offers a timeless neutral that works just as well with denim shorts as it does with maxi dresses. The wedges are available in sizes three to nine, making them a versatile addition to many summer wardrobes.
Comfort Technology
The sandals also feature Next's signature Forever Comfort cushioning. This includes a padded footbed designed to contour to the foot and provide support throughout the day. There's also an adjustable ankle strap that helps create a secure fit, while the 9cm wedge heel offers height without compromising stability.
Alternatives and Customer Feedback
For a more casual look, M&S Flat Jelly Shoes are a £20 option, currently the top bestsellers in the M&S shoe category. Alternatively, the Good For The Sole Reese Espadrille Wedge Sandals, reduced from £35 to £24.50 at Debenhams, are another wedge option.
Shoppers have been quick to praise both the comfort and style of the Next wedge sandals. One delighted customer said: "Excellent value. Absolutely love these wedge shoes, I have two functions coming up, and they are ideal for both, one being a wedding." Another reviewer highlighted their versatility, saying: "Great sandals, comfortable to wear, took on holiday, went with everything I wore."
A third shopper added: "Just what I needed. Comfy sandals which are stylish." While one customer noted that the sandals felt slightly wide, stating: "Bought to go with various outfits for summer. These sandals will go with everything from day to night. I ordered a size 5, my usual size, but unfortunately, as I have narrow feet, they were a bit too wide, so my feet slipped forward."
