Amazon shoppers have discovered a pair of summer sandals that provide exceptional comfort, with many describing the sensation as 'like walking on clouds'. The Crocs Getaway Platform Strappy Sandals, originally priced at £35.98, have been reduced by 33% to £23.99 as part of Amazon's Prime Day sale running from Wednesday, June 23 to Friday, June 26. This represents a saving of nearly £12.
Design and Features for Warm-Weather Wear
The Getaway Platform Strappy Sandals are designed to create a weightless feeling when walking. Ideal for casual everyday use and beach getaways, they feature a strappy design with soft, flexible textile uppers that move with the foot. The sandals incorporate a drop-in Croslite footbed for premium comfort, while the unlined interior enhances breathability during hot weather. With a 1.3-inch platform height, they provide subtle elevation without sacrificing comfort.
Available in UK sizes two to nine, including half sizes, the sandals come in a dozen colours on Amazon, such as off white, black, navy, purple, and jade green. Prices may vary depending on the colour chosen.
Customer Reviews and Feedback
The sandals boast an overall star rating of 4.4 out of five based on 8,930 reviews. One satisfied shopper said: 'Proper Crocs. Like walking on a cloud.' Another wrote: 'Brilliant price from Amazon compared to direct from Crocs. So soft and comfy. Look really nice too. Much nicer than normal flip flops.'
A third reviewer commented: 'Absolutely love these sandals. They're so comfortable and surprisingly versatile. I'm really glad I sized up as it made them the perfect fit, because I do think they would have come up a little small otherwise. They look great with both jeans and dresses. I've already worn them casually day-to-day as well as down to the beach.'
Another customer added: 'These are dream to wear, they fit perfectly and they feel like walking on a cloud, but with enough support that you feel confident with every step. They also look stunning and go with practically every outfit, hands down my best pair of shoes.'
Comparisons and Alternatives
One reviewer highlighted the value: 'These are really great value at £26 too. Other brands such as FitFlop are £90 for something similar and Birkenstock are well over £100 so I'm happy with my bargain.'
However, not all feedback was positive. A three-star review noted: 'Nice crocs but as they are not adjustable I had to send them back, they were too wide on the strap nearest the ankle.' Another three-star reviewer mentioned sizing issues: 'I do wish they would do half sizes. The size 6 snug, the size 7 loose. I have now re-ordered the smaller size to help with my decision.'
For those seeking alternatives, the Gracie Leather Strappy Back-Strap Sandals have been reduced by 31% to £69, while Marks and Spencer's Leather Flat Mule Sandals are available for £26.
Overall Verdict from Shoppers
Despite some sizing concerns, the majority of reviews are highly positive. One five-star review stated: 'Adore these. So comfortable, wore all summer. No blisters, like walking on a cloud. Great colour too.' Another enthusiastic customer wrote: 'I love these sandals. I adore Crocs at the best of times but these sandals are so comfy. They don't rub and they cushion your feet wonderfully. I may have to get a second pair.'
