The double buckle straps add a statement look, available in black and nude, in UK sizes 3 to 8 (no half sizes).

Schuh's Trina Chunky Leather Sandals cost £48, while New Look's Black Faux Leather Flatform Sandals are priced at £29.99. This makes Matalan's offering one of the most affordable chunky sandals on the market, proving style doesn't require a large spend.
