High street shoppers are rushing to snap up a pair of comfortable summer sandals slashed to under £28 that delighted buyers claim feel exactly like walking on clouds. The Getaway Platform Strappy Sandals by Crocs, originally priced at £39.99, have been reduced to just £27.99 in the Crocs sale. On Amazon, the same sandals in purple are available for £32, saving shoppers 19%.
Design and Comfort Features
Designed to deliver a weightless sensation, the sandals feature a strappy silhouette with soft, flexible textile uppers that move naturally with the foot. A drop-in Croslite footbed provides outstanding comfort, while the unlined interior keeps feet cool and airy in warm weather. A 1.3-inch heel adds subtle height without sacrificing comfort. Available in UK sizes two to nine, including half sizes, the sandals come in a dozen colourways on Amazon, such as off white, black, navy, purple, and jade green.
Customer Reviews and Feedback
The Getaway Platform Strappy Sandals carry an impressive overall rating of 4.4 out of five based on 8,930 reviews. One happy customer said: "Proper Crocs. Like walking on a cloud." A second shopper 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 added: "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 enthused: "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."
Alternative Options
For shoppers seeking other styles, the Gracie Leather Strappy Back-Strap Sandals have been reduced by 31%, dropping to £69 from £100. Crafted from soft leather, they feature rounded front straps to prevent rubbing and an adjustable buckle-fastening back strap. Marks and Spencer's Leather Flat Mule Sandals are available for £26, offering a slip-on style with cutout strap detailing and square toes.
Critical Feedback
Not all reviews were glowing. One three-star reviewer 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 commented: "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."
