Amazon is a brilliant place to hunt for affordable fashion dupes, and eagle-eyed shoppers have found a £28 alternative to the £60 Birkenstock Arizona sandals. 

While mocked in the past, the corked footbed sandals are now one of the summer's biggest trends. Take a scroll through Instagram and we will bet you'll stumble across an influencer sporting the wide buckled strap sandals. 

If you're not willing to part with £60, then the CUSHIONAIRE Women's skating shoes are a decent affordable alternative. In fact, a whopping 18,000 Amazon shoppers have left rave five-star reviews for the sandals, hailing them as the 'best dupe for birks!' and the 'perfect summer shoe'. 

The hugely-popular CUSHIONAIRE Women's skating shoes are being hailed 'a great Birkenstock’s dupe for a fraction of the cost'

With over 18,000 five-star reviews, the CUSHIONAIRE Women's skating shoes are well-worth having on your radar, especially if you've been eyeing up the iconic Birkenstocks but reluctant to pay the price. 

A must-have for your summer wardrobe, the slider sandals have been designed with the same soft cork bed, suede leather upper and adjustable straps. 

The open-toe sliders are the perfect accessory for skirts, denim shorts, jeans and dresses and with over 20 colours and prints to choose from, including classic black, brown, taupe and white, there is a style to suit every mood and outfit. 

Described by shoppers as 'a great Birkenstock’s dupe for a fraction of the cost', the CUSHIONAIRE sandals give you the same laid-back style but for less.

Priced from £27. 96, the popular CUSHIONAIRE two strap sandals are less than half the price of the Birkenstock Arizona sandals, which are priced at £60.  

The buckle slides have racked up thousands of reviews, with shoppers raving how they're 'incredibly comfortable'. One shopper even went as far as to write 'Traditional Birks are not comfortable for my flat feet, but THESE are the 2nd pair of Cushionaire shoes I have purchased and I am quickly becoming a fan. 

The slide-on cushioned sandal features adjustable buckle straps, textured outsole, and padded footbed, ensuring you get the perfect mix of comfort and style

'These are comfortable enough to wear and walk in all day, plus they're stylish and go with everything. The adjustable straps mean you get the right fit for YOUR feet and the suede leather insole is super soft.' 

Another delighted shopper agreed, adding: 'Loved these so much! Much cheaper than and looks just like Birkenstock’s. Very comfortable and I wear them all the time!'

A third penned: 'I have had numerous versions of this shoe from "other, more expensive" brands. This is the best version! 

'Comfortable, great arch support and fits perfectly according to size. I purchased a second pair in a different model and it's just as awesome. Don't be afraid to try them. Price is AMAZING!'
