The OG ugly shoe has enjoyed a rubber revival in recent years and whether you love or loathe them, Crocs are officially back.

Alongside Uggs, the plastic clogs have dominated the Y2K resurgence on TikTok and beyond with everyone from Love Island contestants to fashion editors and A-listers opting for them as their off-duty footwear of choice.

Long reviled, many among us have now been won over by the comfort and ease that the Noughties slip-on shoes provide – with the brand achieving a record 61 per cent surge in sales in 2021.

Now, budget supermarket Aldi is dropping new styles of its own Croc-inspired plastic clogs that are more than £35 cheaper than its American counterparts.

Whether used for garden or lounging purposes, they’re the ultimate footwear of choice for comfort. From hanging egg chairs to on-trend garden furniture and velvet pet beds, Aldi Specialbuys don’t stick around for long – and with the last range being a sell-out success, you’ll want to be quick. Here’s everything you need to know about the budget Crocs alternative.

You’ll save £35 by picking up Aldi’s alternative to Crocs. Designed with practicality and comfort in mind, the slip-on women’s shoes come in an on-trend fuschia pink or green or sweet floral printed turquoise (£3.99, Aldi.co.uk).

Made from a durable foam, the pair comes complete with a removable in-sock for extra cushioning.

Ideal for pottering about the garden or taking you from the sofa to the shop, you’ll want to be quick picking up a pair at your local store from Thursday – as we predict a sell-out.
