Love Love Island? Our Factor 50 email brings all the goss direct to your inbox
For the past seven weeks we've all been watching the Love Island contestants' every move, and fans of the ITV show are desperate to steal their style.
Searches for Love Island sliders have skyrocketed throughout the series, with eagle-eyed viewers keen to find out where stars such as Mary Bedford, Chloe Burrows, Clarisse Juliette and Lucinda Strafford have all bought the stylish chunky sliders.
From the very start of the series, we've seen most of the female islanders sporting the simple sandals, which are perfect for throwing on whilst lounging about the villa and its sprawling outdoor space.
But it was the show's Casa Amor girls who really caught people's attention, with fans noticing Mary, Clarisse and Lillie all wearing the same shoes in different neutral shades.
So what are they called, and where can you pick up a pair?
It looks as though the Love Island girls are wearing dupes of the internationally-sold-out Yeezy Slides, which are part of Kanye West's infamous Yeezy line with Adidas.
Although they retail at a very affordable £50, the shoes are only released in very limited numbers and are only stocked at selected retailers.
They're so popular that you can't simply buy them, as you'll need to enter a raffle draw just to be in with a chance of purchasing.
Seeing as they're so limited in stock, and sell out in seconds every time, they're then re-sold on sites such as Farfetch and StockX for up to 15 times more than their original cost.
Depending on the islanders' shoe sizes and colourway, the original Yeezy Slides could set them back anywhere from £170 to £1,500.
Whilst we're sure they won't have any problem affording those prices once they're inundated with brands deals post-TV show; they've actually opted for affordable dupes in the villa.
So luckily for the Love Island slider fans, you'll only £13 or so in order to steal their style.
Amazon are selling near enough identical pairs for only £13.99, which are available in a range of neutral and autumnal shades, including foliage green, olive green, white, beige, black and yellow.
And the convenient online store isn't the only place that's jumped on the Yeezy dupe bandwagon, with shoe retailer Ego also stocking islander-worthy pairs for just £12.49.
Reduced from £25, they're available in eight colours including the original Yeezy-hued khaki, brown, beige and white.
They also have some adorable pastel shades, with baby blue, lilac and a dusky pink all available in UK sizes 3-9.
We've noticed some baby blue pairs dotted around the villa.
You can also bag yourself identical dupes from PrettyLittleThing for just £13.
With an additional few colourways including a charcoal grey shade, they've got a huge selection – and they've just been re-stocked.
Some of the high street retailers' dupes come in colours which Adidas haven't ever released, so if you spot someone wearing a pastel pink pair, it's pretty much a given that they ain't the real deal.
Coming in eight colours, the Yeezy Slides are only available in the shades Desert Sand (a warm beige), Bone (off-white/ivory), Resin (light olive green), Earth Brown (medium brown), Core (warm medium brown), Soot (dark chocolate brown), Orange (orange, duh!), and Pure (greyish-nude).
