M&S and Next shoppers praise 'comfortable' Dr Martens dupes that are half the price

Shoppers have spotted a pair of Dr. Martens dupes for a fraction of the price from both M&S and Next.

Popular brand Dr. Martens is known for its array of hard-wearing footwear from sandals to chunky boots. The trendy brand is very popular among shoppers, but the shoes can often come at a hefty fee.

Dupe products are becoming increasingly popular with retailers, with plenty of stores offering more affordable alternatives from pricey brands. M&S and Next is giving shoppers gladiator sandals that look very similar to the Dr Martens Blaire Sandals for half the price.
