Sainsbury’s launches gladiator sandals that look like Dr. Martens for £80 less & you won’t have to wear them in either

How to keep your feet in good condition
Here's some tips and tricks to keep your feet in good conditio
Soak
Start your at-home pedicure by soaking your feet by filling a washing-up-sized bowl with warm water, add a handful of Epsom salts and around a cup of white, or apple cider, vinegar.
Add a couple of drops of essential oil, such as eucalyptus or lavender, to make the soak smell heavenly.
Scrub
Mix two or three spoonfuls of brown sugar with a tablespoon of oil to make your own foot scrub.
You can use olive oil or coconut oil. Massage the scrub into your feet for a few minutes and wash off with warm water.
Soften
Make sure your feet are left silky smooth by using a moisturiser.
You can also make a foot mask by mashing up a banana with a sprinkle of oats. Mix in a tablespoon of moisturising honey and another spoon of olive oil.
Coat your feet in the mask, wrap in cling film, and let the ingredients work their magic for at least 15 minutes.
"So pleased with these - they look great, are comfortable and excellent value," someone else said.
While others praised just how versatile the sandals are, in that they can be dressed up or down, and worn with trousers or dresses.
"Brought these a few weeks ago," one said.
"They're true to size, really comfortable, and go with jeans, dresses, jumpsuits.
"Excellent price - glad I got them!"
"Very pleased with these sandals," another said.
