Next shoppers snap up £38 'better than Birkenstocks' clogs
One review said: "Lovely clogs and at a cheaper price than branded ones. Really comfortable and look really nice. Very happy with them."
Next customers are raving about a pair of "really comfortable" clogs that have been likened to the iconic Birkenstock brand but for "half the price". The Suede Standard Fit Leather Footbed Clogs are priced at £38 for the neutral, navy, and black varieties - or upgrade with the cow or leopard print designs for a slightly steeper £45.
Next describe the footwear as follows: "Ideal for indoor or outdoor wear, these premium neutral slip-on mule clogs have a smooth leather upper, buckle detailing and a round toe alongside Forever Comfort cushioning to the footbed and a durable rubber outsole."
Coming in sizes 3.5 to 9, the clogs feature a suede upper which customers say appears "really stylish". They've also received acclaim for their "good quality" and "value for money" - explore the range here.
As an alternative, Marks and Spencer offer the Suede Corkbed Mule for £38, coming in stone and brown shades. Currently 'trending' on the website, they've also been celebrated as "an equivalent to Birkenstocks" - find them online here.
Those seeking an actual pair of Birks might want to explore some current deals at Schuh. The Birkenstock Boston Clogs in Dark Grey have been slashed from £140 down to £109.99 in sizes 4 and 6, whilst the Birkenstock Arizona Oiled Leather in Pale Blue are reduced from £105 to £79.99, reports the Liverpool Echo.
Next's Suede Standard Fit Leather Footbed Clogs have attracted a wave of glowing feedback from customers. However, some reviews mention sizing concerns which could be worth bearing in mind.
One satisfied customer wrote: "Lovely, comfortable mules better than actual Birkenstocks which I also have and half the price of them as well."
Another shopper expressed: "Lovely clogs and at a cheaper price than branded ones. Really comfortable and look really nice. Very happy with them. Size 5 and fits perfectly. I'd definitely recommend."
This reviewer commented: "Much neater than other more expensive ones. Love the colour and my feet fit into them perfectly. I ordered a 4.5, and my feet fit into them perfectly. They are a bit stiff, but I think they will loosen with wear."
However, not all customers were pleased, with one writing: "Big sizing. Did not stay on feet."
Another shopper found them "too much effort to keep on your feet when walking", due to the slip-on style.
