New Look's £27.99 sandals look just like the iconic £730 Hermes pair

As the mercury rises, the quest for the ideal summer sandals begins. However, with designer prices skyrocketing, finding a chic yet affordable pair can be daunting.

Thankfully, high-street champion New Look has stepped in with a pair of chunky slider sandals that are giving the renowned Hermes Chypre a run for its money.

Retailing at £27.99, these New Look sandals are bound to turn heads. One satisfied customer described them as "GORGEOUS, comfy and so so so cute! Super classy."

The resemblance to the Hermes Chypre, which sell for £730, is striking.

The New Look version features a similar chunky sole and adjustable strap, lending it that designer-inspired look. But the real selling point is the comfort - the sandals are cushioned for all-day wear, making them the perfect pick for summer events or beach outings, reports The Mirror.

"I ordered these for my holiday and I've been wearing them pretty much like house shoes because they're so comfy," one reviewer gushed. "I'll be wearing them with everything in the summer; no doubt with my favourite straight leg jeans and a nice little Chanel-inspired cropped jacket. Or I'll go for a daytime floral dress with the sandals and a cool crossbody bag."

Available in both black and a light brown hue, there's a colour to match every style. And given the brand's reputation for quality, customers can be confident they're investing in a product that will last.

Luxury brand Hermes is no stranger to the high-street copycat game, with their iconic Oran sandals inspiring countless imitations over the years. However, it's their latest design, the Chypre described as a "techno-sandal in calfskin with an anatomical rubber sole and adjustable strap" that's currently turning heads in the fashion
