A handful of shoppers switch from chunky Dr Martens boots to the ‘best sandal of the summer’. The Blaire Pisa Leather Strap Platforms are £37 cheaper in the brand’s sale, and since adding them to their wardrobe, wearers have received “compliments every time they wear them”.
You can pick up the pair for £75 as opposed to its usual £109 tag in its current sale, a price many fans of the brand are willing to pay thanks to its reputation for quality, such as its well-known strong leather and canvas boots. If you’re looking to transition into warmer weather, the chunky platform sandals come in three different pastel-inspired colors; Parchment beige, purple and peach.
Wearers say the mix of chunky black soles and bright, vibrant colors go with “almost anything” they wear, making it a versatile shoe to add to your wardrobe. Not to mention buyers of the brand have been quick to say they can “see them lasting a long time”.

One shopper called the Blaire pair her “favorite sandals” when she bought another pair in a different color: “I already had a black pair of these sandals and when I saw the pink ones on sale I couldn’t resist The pink is a lovely peach pink which makes the sandals very versatile and they go with almost everything.”

However, anyone who wears Dr Martens will be aware that sometimes you have to wait for the shoes to soften a bit before you get the most comfort from them. We’ve seen a few wearers say they needed to do this with Blaire’s leather.
Still opening the review with “nice sandals” one shopper said: “Really happy with these sandals, but they will need to be broken in, so keep that in mind if you’re buying them for a specific event”. Another person said you must be tired of rubbing around your ankles on your first wear, but it softens quickly.
They said: “The ankle straps are very stiff so it will take some breaking in but this is my first ever pair of Actions and I’m very excited to see how long they last. They’re not too heavy as you can expect for style.”
Matching the seemingly popular chunky sandal style this year, we’ve also found a few other options swirling around other retailers. Like these £59 Per Una slides at M&S or these cushioned flat sandals from Dune.
