The warmer weather is trying to make an appearance, which means you’ll probably need a new pair of shoes to compliment your seasonal wardrobe.
If you’re looking for something a bit trendy, then Dr Martens offers a selection of styles that are instantly recognisable. To make matters better, we have spotted one pair that are “like walking on air” – and they are on sale for up to 41 percent off.

The biggest discount is on the White Hydro Leather Pair that are now £64, down from their original £109, saving 41 percent off the RRP. Meanwhile, the pricier £130 Black Hydro leather Pair are on offer for £91, saving a still decent 30 percent overall.
Famed for their comfort and iconic style, these sandals are said to be “built for all day wear”. Designed with a “lightweight” 2.36-inch Zebrilus platform sole, the Blaire Gladiator Sandals will provide you with “superior comfort” and a touch of extra height.
Crafted from a durable hydro leather material and featuring a padded collar, they won’t rub or cause any discomfort on your bare feet. Meanwhile, use of the brand’s SoftWair memory foam foot will keep your foot cushioned all day long.
As of writing, sizes do range from a three through to nine, although the white pair are proving more popular. Finished with the iconic yellow welt stitching and AirWair Loop on the heel, these chunky sandals will offer a grungy touch to any outfit, whether that be denim jeans or a midi dress.
With a 4.1 rating based on hundreds of reviews, the Blaire Quad Platform Gladiator Sandals are a popular hit among Dr Martens shoppers who love that they are “easy to break in” and “literally like walking on air.”
One five-star review read: “Love them like walking on a cloud.”
A second delighted customer wrote: “I’ve not had to break these in at all. I’ve got wide-ish feet and they fit with no issues. I love how much taller they make me!”
Someone else added: “Very light wearing, comfortable, and easy to break in.“
Another delighted shopper praising the sandals wrote: “Love the height. They are so comfortable, it’s literally like walking on air! I already have the black and got my usual size which is fine but slightly large. I went a size down in the white and they are perfect.”
Since style preferences differ for each shopper, not everyone has been a fan of the higher-style design. One such review read: “So good but in my opinion it’s a big too high for me. But amazing, good price and so comfy as well.”

With chunky sandals coming back into fashion for spring and summer, we have had a look for similar styles on the high street that you can add to your new season wardrobe. One pair that look almost identical are these Black Contrast Stitch Faux Leather Flatform Sandals that cost £32.99 at New Look.
However, if like some shoppers, you aren’t sure about the extra height, then we have spotted an alternative from Next. The £45 Wide Fit Forever Comfort Leather Gladiator Sandals may be more suitable for those who prefer a less chunky heel.
