Luxury Look for Less: Run for M&S's £35 Designer-Inspired Sandals

Shoppers on the hunt for luxury looks without the hefty price tag are in luck, as M&S has delivered again.

Flat Mules for Less

The high street favourite is turning heads with its Flat Mules, which share a similar design to a designer brand valued at £610, but are available for the purse-friendly price of £35. As we edge closer to the holiday season, these 'beautiful' sandals are the perfect addition to any vacation wardrobe. Their minimalist, slip-on style makes them ideal for quick and easy footwear options by the seaside or poolside.

Designer Look, Affordable Price

But it's not all about looks; comfort is key, and according to reviews, these mules with their flat soles are 'very comfortable' for all-day wear. The chic wide strap and open-toe design add elegance. They have a similar design to the Oran Sandal from luxury French firm Hermès, which retail at £610. With the M&S version, fashion fans can save £575 when opting for the high-street version.

To encourage its customers not to miss out, one M&S branch took to TikTok and said: 'Girls run to M&S for Hermes inspired sandals!!!', reports the Daily Record. They are labelled as 'selling fast' online. At the time of writing, they remain up for grabs in sizes three to eight and come in three shades: tan, ivory, and light blue.

The £35 sandals have a 4.6-star rating on the M&S website, as shoppers who say they are a 'summer must-have' will be taken on holiday this year. In one 5-star review, a pleased customer said: 'These sliders are so comfortable and look very similar to some available at hundreds of pounds more expensive.' Another review added: 'I ordered these in tan, which goes with everything. They are true to size (7) and are very comfortable. They are a little pricey, but look like expensive designer sandals. Pleased with my purchase and will definitely be taking them on holiday this summer.'

Customer Reviews

A third said: 'Stylish! Summer must-have. Beautiful and comfortable! Not too narrow, I purchased the brown/tan option.' Another review added: 'Colour is beautiful. Very stylish and looking forward to wearing them in the summer.' Some reviews noted that the Flat Mules tend to run on the smaller side. One reviewer advised: 'Really small fit. I am a size 5 so I ordered a 5 and a 6, both are too small, so you need to go up a couple of sizes.' The M&S Flat Mules can be purchased here for £35. Alternatively, New Look's Tan Logo Cutout Faux Leather Mules are a budget-friendly option for under £20. Or, Next have the Tan Brown Forever Comfort® Slot Mule Sandals for £22, which are also available in four other colours.
