These £39 sandals ooze quiet luxury and are ‘very comfortable’

These Skechers slides have a cushioned foam footbed - (The Independent)

Chances are, you don’t want to spend a fortune on summer footwear because British summertime isn’t always dependable. Thankfully, I’ve found a pair of sandals that exudes quiet luxury without the price tag.

Step forward: Skechers’ desert kiss sandals. The design is endlessly versatile and easy to style, whether with jeans and an oversized shirt, capris and a blazer, or a dress.

Even better, they feature the brand’s signature comfortable footbed and have impressed Amazon shoppers, so you don’t need to compromise comfort for style.

While we’re yet to test these sandals, they promise to tick all of the boxes for a great summer shoe: stylish, affordable, and comfortable, making them the ideal addition to your summer wardrobe – here’s everything you need to know.

Characterised by the simple, strappy design of their upper, these Skechers sandals boast a quiet luxury look (for less). Made from vegan leather, the sandals feature three straps and come in a variety of neutral and metallic shades.

While many slip-on slides have a hard, flat footbed and may lack support, these sandals – like the rest of the Skechers range – are made with wearability in mind. This pair features a cushioned footbed and a cork midsole, which is slightly raised towards the heel. Meanwhile, the flexible outsole should offer good traction, which, when it comes to everyday practicality, is a must.

And it appears Amazon shoppers have been impressed by the sandals for their comfort and good quality. One reviewer said that the soles have a “little bit of height”, which “will prevent aching arches.” Another noted that the sandals were “very comfortable and soft to walk on.”

The shoes are a great day-to-night option, with one reviewer noting they wore them in the day on holiday, but also “ended up wearing them at night” when they “looked great with nighttime outfits.”

With such glowing reviews and the purse-friendly price, consider us sold.
