Dr. Martens has slashed the price of its Voss II Athena Leather Strap Sandals by 30%, bringing the cost down to £70 from the original £100. Shoppers have described the sandals as 'so comfortable' straight out of the box, with no need for the typical breaking-in period associated with the brand.
Comfort and Design Details
The Voss II Athena Leather Strap Sandals feature a lightweight and versatile design, perfect for summer. They come in sizes three to nine and boast a cross-strap design secured with two adjustable ankle straps. The sandals include a SoftWair memory foam footbed and a super-light EVA Zebrilus sole, with the signature Dr. Martens yellow welt stitching.
Available in pink at the reduced price of £70, the sandals also come in black at full RRP (£100) and a white version made from a slightly different leather, also reduced to £70.
Customer Reviews
The sandals have earned an overall rating of 4.6 out of five stars from nearly 200 reviews. One satisfied shopper said: 'Best sandals ever. I have the black and white ones which fit like a dream. No wearing in needed.' Another wrote: 'I ordered an eight as that is my usual size and they fit perfectly. They are very comy, I look and feel fabulous in them. Had loads of compliments. Need the other colours now.'
A third reviewer added: 'Beyond in love with these. They are way more comfortable than I thought they would be. I bought them last summer and they still look as good as the day I bought them. They're such a good investment. I'm usually a five but sized down to a four. They never rubbed or made my feet sore at all which is unusual for me as I have flat feet.'
Alternatives and Other Options
For those seeking alternatives, Marks and Spencer offers Leather Buckle Flat Fisherman Sandals in black, tan, or white for £46. FitFlop also has over 30% off its Gen-FF Leather Fisherman Sandals, reduced from £130 to £89.
Back at Dr. Martens, some customers noted sizing issues. One three-star review stated: 'Loved them but too small unfortunately.' A four-star review mentioned: 'I really like them but they squeak. Can't work out if it's the insole or the bottom of the shoe.' Despite these minor complaints, most feedback remains highly positive, with many customers praising the comfort and quality.
