Spring is here, and although the weather doesn’t seem to have got the memo just yet, we can’t help but get excited about all the spring outfits we’ve been desperate to wear.
From floral dresses and quilted jackets to easy-to-wear denim, spring dressing is all about colour and embracing the (hopefully) warmer weather, and that includes what we put on our feet. Although the rain might be putting you off ditching your winter boots just yet, it's never too early to get your sandals out in preparation for the sunshine.
One of the most popular style of sandals for the last few years has been the Dr Martens Blaire Sandals,£99 here. The gladiator style straps and chunky flatform sole make them ideal for wearing with everything from flowy floral dresses to jeans, and the triple foot strap and ankle strap make sure they’re comfortable and your feet don’t slide around in them.
However, the £99 price tag isn’t exactly cheap, and although you’ll get plenty of wear out of them over the warmer months, you can’t exactly brave the snow with your toes out, meaning they’ll be packed away as soon as autumn rolls around.
Thankfully, there are a couple of perfect dupes for the style available on the high street at the moment, and they come with a much more affordable price tag.
Shop the style
Marks and Spencer Leather Ankle Strap Flat Sandals, £45 here
With similar style straps and shape to the Dr Martens Blaire sandals, this M&S version offers the same buckled ankle straps and triple foot strap, as well as a similar footbed design for comfort. The Marks and Spencer’s pair are also a much more lightweight version, and cost just £45.
They’re also available in an all black style, as well as both brown and gunmental which feature a tan coloured sole and footbed. Available in sizes 3-8, M&S have also added antibacterial padding, which helps your shoes stay fresh all day long.
Next Chunky Gladiator Sandals, £38 here
Next are another high street fashion brand offering a pretty exact dupe of the Blaire sandals, and they cost just £38. Their version offer a more traditional gladiator style, with the same ankle strap and three straps across the foot, but also featuring an additional strap down the middle of the sandals, giving it the classic gladiator style.
The chunky sandals are available in sizes 3-9, but also offer half sizing and wide fit in many of the sizes so you can get the perfect fit. They also come in both a bronzed golden colour and white, which would be a perfect pick for pairing with floaty spring dresses.
