Now summer is finally here, there is nothing we love more than slipping into a pair of comfy sandals and letting our feet feel the breeze after being cooped up for months on end in socks, slippers and boots.

The flat footwear not only saves us from getting the sore soles, cramped toes or aching calves we get in heeled boots, but they're also versatile enough to be worn with any outfit and for any occasion.

There's a vast array of sandals to choose from, but one pair in particular are on our radar - they're from Marks & Spencer and cost just £22.50.

Here's everything you need to know.

Why we rate it

The Leather Open Toe Sandals have two front buckle straps, which can be adjusted to fit all foot shapes and sizes.

They also have Insolia Flex support inside for added comfort, while the flatform gives a little extra height as the heel measures 29mm.

Both the upper part of the shoe, lining and sock sections are all made of soft and durable leather.

The summer shoe is available to buy in shoe sizes 3 to 8, and come in four colours, including a soft blush pink, tan, navy, and yellow, which is perfect for those wanting to add a pop of colour to their shoe-drobe.

The affordable sandals come in multiple colours. (Marks & Spencer)

M&S has also added them in newer white and gold shades that hit the site more recently.

The Open Toe Sandals were hugely popular and sold out last year, but now are back in stock just in time for your stylish summer.

What the reviews say

Customers can’t get enough of the footwear item, as they have racked up 300 glowing reviews from shoppers. Here’s what customers have to say:

  • "I had been looking for something for around the house and to go in the garden. After reading some reviews decided on the pink version of these sandals. They’re so comfortable, true to size, I have a bunion which makes shoe fitting difficult so I appreciate being able to adjust the straps."

  • "I brought a pair of these last year in white so decided to get a second pair in different colour, very comfortable & have worn well."

  • “Good fit and very comfy buckles can easily be adjusted to individual fit. Loved the pink, a natural summer tone that goes with everything.”

  • “A really comfortable sandal which is just like a Birkenstock but at a fraction of the price. I bought a pair years ago and they have now almost fallen apart because I wore them so much. They are ideal for summer but also they don't look out of place later in the year since they can be worn with socks or pop socks. Highly recommended.”

  • “Great buy. Comfy and practical.”
