Primark fans left divided by £9 ‘perfect shoe for Autumn’ – they’re like ‘walking on clouds’ but others aren’t convinced
PRIMARK shoppers have been left totally divided by the chain’s latest range of footwear – but what do you think?
Whilst some thought the new shoes looked like slippers, others claimed they are like ‘walking on clouds’.
So if you’re looking to treat yourself to some new shoes for Autumn, then you’ll need to check this out.
The Primark store in Basildon took to social media to show shoppers the much-loved chain’s new range of shoes – but whilst some fashionistas have gone wild, not everyone is as convinced.
Posting online, the chain gave shoppers a close-up look inside the Basildon store and penned: ‘The perfect shoe for Autumn.’
The fashion retailer then wrote: ‘Calling all Autumn girlies’, as they proudly gave fashion fans a glance at the new-in clogs and open-toed furry sliders.
And if the thought of spending £150 on the popular Birkenstock clogs sends shivers down your spine, then you’ll need to check out Primark’s affordable alternative.
Priced at just £9, Primark’s new clogs are strikingly similar to the fan favourite buy, and will save you an impressive £141.
The clogs, which have a buckle detail and a chunky sole for a statement feel, come in a dark brown and a light tan colour, as well as fur-lined pairs too.
The fur-lined pairs are just £1 extra, at only £10, and are also available in a gorgeous grey colour.
Not only this, but there’s also open-toed shoes too – with double strapped, fur sliders, in cream and brown, for only £9 each.
The comfortable and stylish shoes are made with a memory foam base and are sure to turn heads and make a statement.
Whether you choose to wear them as house shoes or style them with casual looks for running errands, these shoes are bound to leave you open-mouthed this season.
The fashion favourite store then advised bargain hunters: ‘Run to Primark’.
BIG DIVIDE
The TikTok clip, which was shared on the official @primarkbasildon page, has clearly left many open-mouthed, as it has quickly racked up 197,000 views.
But many shoppers weren’t totally keen on the shoes, and rushed to the comments to share their thoughts.
One person said: “I like them but feet will get soaked in this weather and some look like slippers.”
Another added: “My feet would be freezing.”
