Perfect to pack in your holiday wardrobe, these sandals are earning rave reviews online
Summer is in full swing, and as the holiday season approaches for many Brits, now's the time to start thinking about warm-weather essentials you'll need, whether you're staying home or travelling abroad. No sunny day is complete without the perfect pair of sandals for days on your feet. Right now, Amazon shoppers can get a top-rated pair for less.
Whether it's sightseeing, strolling along the beach, or lounging in the garden, comfort is key. The Fitflop Women's Iqushion Flip-Flops are a bestselling pair getting serious attention on Amazon. Retailing from £25.60 for some colours, it makes for an affordable footwear find.
The FitFlop iQushion Flip-Flops have become a go-to for shoppers looking for supportive, lightweight, and stylish footwear for all-day wearing.
One of the standout features of these flip-flops is the choice of colours. From classic black, white and navy to vibrant shades like neon pink, turquoise and metallic gold, there's a pair to suit every style and mood. On Amazon, they've already earned more than 8,000 five-star reviews.
These clever flip-flops have been designed to blend beauty with biomechanics, giving your feet the TLC needed to survive long days of walking and activities.
Amazon is the only place to find great deals on quality sandals. Clarks are selling the Brinkley Sea sandals for £35, which combine comfort and quality cushioning for all-day support. For style and comfort, Foot Locker fans can find the Nike Calm sandals for £69.99 in a casual khaki green tone.
Each pair of Fitflop sandals is built with iQushion air-foam cushioning, which works to absorb shock and reduce pressure on the feet as you move. The addition of a contoured footbed with built-in arch support and heel cushioning encourages better alignment.
What's more, it also helps to prevent the tired, achy feeling that becomes common after a long day on your feet. So whether you're walking through a busy airport or have a day of activities planned, these sandals will hold up for the long haul.
Currently, the sandals have over 8,000 positive reviews from customers. One five-star rating read: "Genius product from Fitflop, I have always had the leather versions of these slip-on style shoes and was so happy to learn they had developed a new all-beach rubber traditional flip flop. I'm ordering a second colour, they are the perfect pool-to-beach sandals for holiday."
Another happy shopper wrote: "My first pair lasted 4 years, as these were so comfortable, I bought another pair. The arch support makes them so comfortable, my go-to flip flops!"
While a third comment said: "I love these flip-flops. I suffer from plantar, so it is important that I get a comfy sole and a bit of support even when wearing flip-flops. These are a bit more expensive, but they are worth it."
The comments were widely positive; however, one commentator noted: "Great sandals, but unfortunately they were a bit too narrow for me." Another customer shared: "They run a little bit small, so be sure to check your measurements."

Hundreds of flights cancelled across Europe this week – with up to 36,000 Brits affected

Plus, Ryanair has warned of record flight delays this summer GROUNDED Hundreds of flights cancelled across Europe this week – with up to 36,000 Brits affected Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) FLIGHT cancellations across Europe are set to affect thousands of Brits heading abroad this week. Airlines including easyJet, Ryanair and Air France have been forced to cancel flights today and tomorrow due to French ATC strikes over working conditions and pay. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 Hundreds of flights in the UK have been cancelled this week Credit: Reuters This means that as many as 200 flights to and from the UK will be impacted each day on July 3 and July 4, according to AirAdvisor. This works out to as many as 36,000 Brits. Ryanair has cancelled 170 flights in total, which is expected to disrupt over 30,000 passengers. The airline has also claimed that the strikes in France will disrupt passengers flying over French airspace too, en route to other destinations such as Greece and Spain. Ryanair's CEO Michael O'Leary said: "Once again European families are held to ransom by French Air Traffic Controllers going on strike. "It is not acceptable that overflights over French airspace en route to their destination are being cancelled/delayed as a result of yet another French ATC strike. "It makes no sense and is abundantly unfair on EU passengers and families going on holidays." In comparison, easyJet has been forced to cancel 22 UK touching flights today and 38, so far, for tomorrow. Across Europe the airline has made 124 cancellations in total for today and 150 so far, for tomorrow. An easyJet spokesperson said: "As required by the French authorities (DGAC) easyJet proactively cancelled some flights in advance and customers were contacted directly with options to transfer to another flight for free or a refund. "While this is outside of our control, we will do all we can to minimise the impact of the strike action. Flight cancelled or delayed? Top tips for handling travel disruptions "On behalf of our passengers we are extremely unhappy with the strike action, particularly given the current performance of French ATC which has been the leading cause of airspace delays in Europe this summer. "Long term solutions must be found for our customers and crew who suffer repeated disruption." The strike, which is being led by UNSA-INCA and SNCTA unions, will involve 60-70 per cent of ATCs. Anton Radchenko, aviation expert and founder of AirAdvisor explained that the strikes will also cause the airspace to narrow, and as a result the backlog will spread quickly to hubs like Heathrow, Gatwick, and Manchester. He said: "What many travellers underestimate is how vulnerable short-haul schedules are to even minor disruptions. 3 This means that around 150-200 UK flights will be impacted each day on July 3 and July 4 Credit: AFP "Unlike long-haul routes, where airlines often have contingency buffers, short-haul flights operate on tight rotations." For example, one delay in Lyon or Marseille could lead to a ripple effect that cancels a Stansted departure six hours later. He continued: "My top advice is to travel with full situational awareness. "If your itinerary connects through France or overflies its airspace, even to destinations like Italy or Spain, check with your airline daily, not just the night before. "Take screenshots of every notification, keep every receipt, and escalate immediately if your flight is cancelled. "Under EU261, you're owed assistance even if you're not owed financial compensation, but you have to know how to ask." New EU rules also mean Brits will now get less compensation if their flight is delayed. Plus, Ryanair has warned of record flight delays this summer.

Crete wildfires 2025 travel warning issued to UK tourists

A fast-moving wildfire assisted by gale-force winds burned through Greece's southern island of Crete on Wednesday night into Thursday morning (July 2 and 3), prompting the evacuation. The local fire department said 230 firefighters backed up by 10 water-dropping aircraft were battling the flames, which have burned through forest and farmland in the Ierapetra area on the island's southern coast. Several people were treated for breathing difficulties following the wildfire in Crete, officials said, but there were no immediate reports of serious injuries. While homes were reported to have been damaged as flames swept through hillside forests, fanned by strong winds. Two people were evacuated by boat overnight, while six private boats were on standby in case further evacuations by sea became necessary, the coast guard added. 'It's a very difficult situation. The fire is very hard to contain. Right now, they cannot contain it,' civil protection official at the regional authority, Nektarios Papadakis, told The Associated Press. 'The tourists who were moved out are all OK. They have been taken to an indoor basketball arena and hotels in other regions of the island." The fire service and a civil protection agency issued mobile phone alerts for the evacuations and appealed to residents not to return to try to save their property. The risk of wildfires remains very high across Crete and parts of southern Greece on Thursday, according to a daily bulletin issued by the fire service. Crete is one of Greece's most popular destinations for both foreign and domestic tourists. Wildfires are frequent in the country during its hot, dry summers, and the fire department has already tackled dozens across Greece so far this year. The UK Government, via the foreign travel advice website, said: "Wildfires are highly dangerous and unpredictable. The situation can change quickly." The government urged anyone planning on travelling to Crete to ensure their mobile phone is registered to receive emergency alerts warning of wildfires.
