M&S’s dupes of The Row’s fisherman sandals are summer must-haves

The designer versions will set you back more than £1,000

Each summer, a designer sandal comes along that’s destined to dominate your Instagram feed and be replicated across the high street. Luxury label The Row – founded by the Olsen twins – is a master maker of it-girl shoes that do just that.

From Nineties-style platform flip-flops to the Ava Mary Jane flats, footwear from The Row more often than not rises to cult status – and, since launching in 2019, the brand’s cage leather fisherman sandals are no exception.

But with their eye-watering £1,060 price tag, we’ll admit they aren’t the most affordable choice. However, the good news is M&S has brought back last summer’s best alternative – costing just £45.

The fisherman-style shoes come in a minimalist black, a statement ivory off-white and grey snakeskin finish (new for this year).

With the style selling out multiple times in 2022, you’ll want to be quick to pick up a pair for yourself. Here’s everything you need to know about M&S’s take on The Row’s cult cage sandals.

(M&S)

With their luxurious look, it’s no surprise M&S’s caged shoes have been causing a stir.

Boasting thick leather straps and an open round toe similar to The Row’s sandals (£1,060, Net-a-porter.com), the easy-to-wear style is perfect for tapping into the fisherman shoe trend. The classic style has been given a contemporary upgrade by both The Row and M&S, with an on-trend chunky sole.

Available in UK sizes 3-8 (including half sizes), the sandals are secured with buckle fastenings, and have been finished with antibacterial padding to help keep them – and your feet – fresher for longer.

If the black isn’t for you, the off-white colourway is just as chic (£45, Marksandspencer.com), and is an affordable alternative to The Row’s ivory caged classic pair (£1,060, Net-a-porter.com). For the more adventurous dressers, there’s also a grey snakeskin finish that’s new for summer 2023 (£45, Marksandspencers.com).
