Love the Maseur sandals from the 90s? You can now get a replica pair from Kmart for $10

Recently, a $10 knockoff of a vintage pair of 'daggy' sliders has become so popular among fashionistas that it has almost sold out of store shelves nationwide.

The $65 Maseur Invigorating Massage sandal, which has been making a resurgence among stylish Aussies in recent years, appears almost identical to Kmart's $10 adjustable sliders.



Your favourite dress, jeans, or sports luxe ensemble will look fantastic wearing Kmart's Maseur dupes, which come in sizes 5-11.

However, due to the overwhelming demand, the adjustable sliders are no longer available for purchase on the store's website. But you can always try your luck by going to your local Kmart; the store might still have some stock!

When it comes to the classic shoe design, several shoppers on social media have mixed opinions; some are interested in giving them a try, while others consider them to be an 'outdated' style.

One woman wrote in the comments section, 'I'm so torn if I love or hate them, so I say both…' A second one agreed and added, 'Parents had them when I was a kid in the 80s… I am conflicted.'

Meanwhile, a third joined the conversation and said, 'Omg, yes! I need these in my life.'



Maseur's orthopaedic sliders, which are reminiscent of the 1990s, were originally viewed as 'daggy', but they have recently reemerged as a popular fashion trend on social media.

People are seen wearing the 'vintage' shoes everywhere, from trips to the store to days at the beach. Millennials are enjoying them due to their convenience and versatility.

With every step, the hundreds of flexible nodules on Maseur's Invigorating Sandals massage your reflex zones. Credit: Maseur.

Australian chemists initially introduced the iconic footwear in the 1990s, which were said to help with muscle and foot problems. Gabriel Eber first made the shoe in Sydney with the goal of using it to promote posture, balance, and alignment.

He said that nerve endings in the feet were responsible for many aches, pains, circulation problems, and general health issues, so he set out to make a shoe that would help alleviate them.

The contoured footbed offers support for the entire foot, and the design positions your feet correctly to ease pressure on your knees, hips, and back.

So what are your thoughts, folks? Do you think Kmart's $10 dupes will compare to the $65 original design? Let us know in the comments!

These were the most uncomfortable pair o sandals I ever owned
 
I had both the smooth and bumpy ones. The bumpy ones really hurt to wear in the beginning but then were very comfortable. I think we paid like $60 back then which I remember was alot of money. See again this generation has another item alot cheaper than we did. Maybe they are not as therapeutic as the original masseurs.

My Mum bought a pair of the "knobbly" ones back in the day, but couldn't get used to the lumpy feel of them, as they hurt her soles. So she shaved the lumps off with a blade!

I'll be looking for them! I wore out several pairs over the years, and have missed them.
