With Summer well on its way, many of us will be wanting to pick up a nice pair of shoes that are perfect for the warmer weather.
Of course, with the cost of living crisis, it's understandable why many shoppers will need to be looking for fashionable footwear that is still within budget.
Which is why it is good news that one major supermarket seems to be offering shoppers the "ultimate" pair of summer sandals and they will set you back less than a tenner.
The supermarket in question is Sainsbury's and the sandals are so good that even a fashion editor has been swooning over them, reports The Manchester Evening News.
The UK supermarket chain is selling a pair of Birkenstock-esque sliders for just £6 and fashion expert Harriet Walker, of The Times, admits that these are her footwear of choice for the summer season.
Sainsbury's accompanying clothing outlet Tu is now the sixth largest clothing retailer in the UK by volume and it has become a well known place for clothing at low prices. Walker identified that the budget sliders are her "shoes off the summer."
They are available in many colours including yellow, orange and strawberry pink. They are striking in their appearance, down to their noisy, bright nature, with the fashion editor arguing that they “bear more than a passing resemblance to a designer version on sale for £200.”
Birkenstocks amazingly fuse functionality and fashion, duly becoming a core shoe in many a summer wardrobe. They are timeless sandals which are both classic and comfortable.
Tu has described its green pool sliders as "the ultimate perfect poolside accessory", with "an extra-comfy moulded inner sole and a gripped outer sole".
The green option received 12 reviews and it has proved hugely popular, with 11 people leaving five stars along with a solitary four-star review. The comfort of wearing them was evident in their comments left, with one reviewer stating that they wear them everywhere with everything.
If these aren't quite to your taste, Sainsbury's also sell a more attractive range with more in-depth designs than the standard block colours. Just £1 more expensive, at £7, these also represent a great budget sandal, with varieties of these particular pool sliders coming in the form of blue daisy floral, black cheetah print, rose print and tropical print.
