Chunky flatform sandals from Next are garnering glowing reviews for blending style with comfort, a rare pairing in fashion footwear. These versatile Gladiator Chunky Sandals are offered at £38 and present in understated black and white tones.
Catering to a range of sizes from 3.5-8, the sandals boast an upper strap complemented by an adjustable buckle strap that snugly secures the foot’s heel. The sandals have a 4.5 out of five-star average rating, with 53 reviews for the black pair and seven for the white pair.
One delighted shopper awarded a perfect five stars, voicing their contentment: “I love them! They are a lovely material, feel well made, and are so comfy to walk in, I’ve had no rubbing from them at all.”
They also expressed that despite initially feeling heavy, they welcomed the additional height advantage, especially useful at the beach and festivals. The satisfied customer added, receiving numerous compliments and didn’t hesitate to recommend them, reports the Mirror.
Contrastingly, another buyer advises caution regarding the heft of the chunky sole, especially over extended walks, mentioning: “They look the part, but keep tripping myself up! Plus they are very heavy if covering long distance.”

A third customer was delighted with the swift service, commenting: “Look great feel comfortable very pleased with my purchase. They were quickly dispatched and arrived in good order.”
Meanwhile, a fourth shopper warned those with wider feet, stating, “They were lovely sandals; I was really excited to get them! I bought the wide fit as I have wide feet, but unfortunately, they weren’t wide enough!” Adding, “They’re also quite heavy, but still really lovely sandals. Worth a try! I returned them as they didn’t fit.”
Another buyer found the sandals to be exceptionally comfortable, sharing: “These sandals are super comfy. I struggle with new footwear and have to ‘break them’ in for days, at home, before going out wearing them. Not with these.”
They continued, “When these sandals arrived, I popped them on and found them so comfy. Nothing was rubbing or felt tight on my feet. Wore them to a wedding and walked and danced miles in them.”
