The sandals are complete with Forever Comfort insoles, making them ideal for daily wear. The shoes hold a 4.3 rating from across 41 reviews.
One customer wrote: “Perfect summer sandals, they’re very comfortable and go with most outfits. They keep the feet cool all day long”, reports Chronicle Live.
Another added: “They are so comfortable and look good too. They have been mistaken for the real Birkenstocks!”
A third commented: “Good quality suede and nice cushion. I’ve always been a Birkenstock girl but was pleasantly surprised.”
There has been little negative feedback regarding the sandals, though some buyers raised concerns about the material quality: “They sole has worn away already. Not fit for purpose, they’ve only been worn a handful of times.”
As an alternative, Marks and Spencer has the Suede Buckle Footbed Mules, priced from €38 to €39, available in black, brown, tan and blue.
They’ve earned a 4.5 rating from 66 reviews. “Perfect in every way, comfortable from the first wear,” one satisfied customer remarked.
