Fashion fans have been heaping praise on a pair of leather sandals on the high street that are as ‘comfortable’ as they are stylish. Hailed as a ‘must buy’ holiday essential by shoppers, Marks and Spencer’s Leather Buckle Ankle Strap Flatform Sandals cost less than £50, making them cheaper than similar, well-known brands. Coming in black and white colourways, the flatform soles have been designed with comfort in mind, making them perfect for exploring city streets and sandy beaches alike.

The straps are also adjustable for a more secure fit, making them ideal for people with wider or narrower feet. Some have suggested that the £45 sandals look similar to Dr Martens’ £110 Voss Ii Hydro Leather Strap Sandals, Birmingham Live reports, yet come in less than half the price. Like Dr Martens, the popular Marks and Spencer sandals feature a statement buckle and thick leather straps at the ankle and foot which create a cool, contemporary look.
