Asda just dropped these Gucci sandal dupes and they cost £281 less than the real thing
Y2K style is going nowhere this summer
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.The fact that Nineties and Noughties fashion is in full revival mode is nothing new. We’ve seen everything from Uggs to flatform sandals make a comeback, and now there’s more retro footwear to add to the list.
You’ve probably already spotted the Gucci women’s rubber slide sandal (£295, Gucci.com) on Instagram or Tiktok – they’ve popped up in almost every colourway in recent months, and with the warmer weather on the way, we’re expecting to see a lot more of them.
But at close to £300, not everyone is running down to Bond Street in search of the jelly-style shoes.
Luckily, George at Asda has released its own version of the now-famous footwear and, at under £15, they’re definitely a more purse-friendly alternative.
So, if you’re well into the Y2K hype, keep reading for more details on how to buy them.

The glaringly obvious difference between the Asda version and the Gucci version is, of course, the bold Gucci lettering embossed across the front.
But it does mean that these shoes are incredibly subtle in their design, meaning they would work with jeans, shorts and skirts throughout the summer months.
Both pairs are made from plastic, but the Asda ones take on slightly more of a leather-style look than the high-shine Gucci versions. And with a saving of over £280, we really can’t complain.
For those with a more neutral style, they also come in beige (£14, Asda.com).
