Marks & Spencer has introduced a new bestseller in comfortable indoor footwear: the Suede Scallop Edge Strap Clogs, priced at £40. Shoppers have rated them 4.7 out of 5 stars, with many claiming they are 'more comfy than the originals' from a well-known brand.
Design and Features
The clogs feature a classic slip-on design with a gold buckle detail and a unique scallop-style strap for a feminine touch. They are available in two colours: olive, ideal for summer pairing with linen pants, and sand, a neutral beige that complements most outfits. Sizes range from 3 to 8, but no half sizes are available, so shoppers are advised to consult the size guide.
According to the product description, the clogs offer a 'chic laid-back style' with cork soles for a traditional look. The heel height for a size 4 shoe is 4mm, and they are designed as a regular fit slip-on.
Shopper Reviews
One five-star review stated: 'Ideal replica is of a well known brand at a fraction of the cost! However, the footbed is not shaped to contour the feet and the fit is a little big! You get what you pay for in this case, but absolutely ideal for day to day wear!'
Another shopper commented: 'More comfy than the originals and also suede for less than half the price. What more could you want!'
A third reviewer added: 'Lovely summer colour! Makes any and all linen summer wear effortlessly chic! Beautifully soft and true to size. I have narrow feet and put the strap at the tightest setting but still a little loose. Think it is just a narrow feet thing though! No regrets!'
Comparison with Other Brands
Amazon offers the Crocs Via Unisex Adult Clogs at £29.99 (reduced from £49.99), which have a 4.6-star rating from shoppers, with 80% of reviews giving five stars. They come in a wide range of colours including black, white, pink, grey, and beige.
M&S also sells the Buckle Flat Mary Jane Ballet Pump for £40, available in black, natural, orange, dark red, pale pink, and olive. However, orange is currently out of stock, and natural is sold out in sizes 3 and 5.
Potential Fit Issues
Some shoppers noted sizing concerns. One said: 'Slightly too small for a size 5, I would size up if I bought again.' Another with narrow feet found the strap a little loose even at the tightest setting, but still praised the comfort.
Overall, the Suede Scallop Edge Strap Clogs are being hailed as a 'real bargain' compared to pricier alternatives, with one shopper concluding: 'These are a great fit with adjustable straps over the top, super-soft suede and a good colour to go with everything. A real bargain too when compared to the price of the 'originals'. Love them!'
