With the sun finally making an appearance, fashion enthusiasts are likely to be rummaging through their wardrobe for lighter, breezier footwear to swap out their winter boots and trainers.
If last year’s sandals have seen better days, take a trip to the Dr Martens website. The renowned British shoe brand is currently offering up to 40 per cent off on nearly 300 lines of shoes like the Voss Hydro Leather Strap Sandals.
Originally priced at £100, they’ve been marked down to £60, providing a substantial saving of £40. Praised as ‘sturdy’ yet ‘comfortable’, customers say the Strap Sandals are ‘comfortable from day one’, with no chafing or blisters.

They’re available in sizes three to nine, all of which are still in stock online. The Voss Sandals come with two adjustable straps and a super-lightweight sole featuring a ripple tread.
The upper part is crafted from leather, paired with a soft, breathable lining that cushions the feet with every step. In true Dr Martens style, the £60 sandals boast a chunky platform that adds a subtle edge to any outfit without being overly high.
Those who have already snagged a pair claim they are ‘perfect’ for summer, both in the UK and overseas, reports the Manchester Evening News.
The Voss Hydro Leather Strap Sandals have received an impressive 4.6-star rating out of five, based on 860 customer reviews.
One delighted customer raved: “It’s amazing how comfortable they are. Both my daughters and I have a pair each. I’m in my 50s and they are in their 20s. Great shoes for the UK summer, fabulous in Australia and the South Pacific”.
Another reviewer praised the sandals’ design and comfort, saying: “Really cute design and light for the chunkiness. Super versatile especially for someone who isn’t usually a sandals person.
“I’ve struggled with Dr Martens boots before – size wise and breaking in – but find these great.”
A third customer echoed the sentiments, stating: “Very comfortable from day one. No rubbing. I got a size smaller than my normal shoe. I’ve had many comments about the sandal from a range of ages (17 – 57). The platform took me a while to realise I need to lift my foot higher when stepping up or over something. They are on trend.”
However, not all customers were entirely satisfied, with one reviewer awarding the sandals three stars and commenting: “They are too heavy so I can only wear them for a couple of hours. Killed my feet when I wore them for a day.”
In contrast, another customer was thoroughly pleased with their purchase, saying: “These are exactly what I’ve been looking for. Sturdy enough to last through my holiday and they look good. Size is perfect, buckles are not set on my ankle bone and they have good support, so very comfortable.”
If you’re seeking even more affordable sandals, fear not. Marks and Spencer have got you covered with their Leather Buckle Flatform Sandals priced at £49.50 and the Leather Buckle Ankle Strap Flat Sandal for £39.50.
River Island is currently seeing a surge in popularity for their £40 Black Wide Fit Cross Strap Chunky Sandals. Alternatively, their Black Flatform Sandals are available for a modest £36.
