Primark's 'chic' £26 sandals 'almost identical' to £158 designer pair
Primark's 'elegant' sandals look similar to a designer version - but there's a huge price difference
Primark is causing a stir with its latest footwear offering, a pair of sandals that are strikingly similar to a pricier counterpart. Known for delivering affordable fashion and homeware, the high street giant seems to have introduced another crowd-pleaser.
The Edit Footbed Sandals from Primark show a remarkable resemblance to the luxury brand Rollie's version but come at a fraction of the cost. Customers can snag Primark's take on the trend for just £26, a bargain compared to the upscale model priced at $209.95 (approximately £158) online.
Both pairs feature essential design elements like a moulded footbed, cork layering, a flat sole, and an open, rounded toe front. They also boast similar crossover straps and are available in comparable colour schemes.
Yet, there are subtle differences between the two. Primark's iteration sports suede-like straps adorned with a gold-tone bar, a detail absent in the high-end version.
Primark's product description reads: "Take every step in style with these Footbed Sandals from The Edit – where fashion meets all day comfort! These slip-on sandals feature suede-effect straps with elegant detailing for a touch of glamour," reports the Mirror.
The retailer adds: "The adjustable fastening ensures a secure fit, while the sole provides grip for easy all-day wear. Pair them with your favourite summer dress or relaxed denim for a chic, laid-back look. Ready to strut in style?"
The description for the Rollie shoe states: "Craving stylish comfort? The RHODES CROSS SLIDE by Rollie are essential casual sandals that can be worn day or night, keeping you energised and summer-ready all day long."
In terms of pricing, Primark's The Edit Footbed Sandals come in at just £26, compared to the pricier Rollie Rhodes Cross Slide Rustic Brown Slides, which retail for $209.95, roughly equating to £158. Opting for the budget version could mean a significant saving of approximately £132 for shoppers.
Primark offers the footbed sandals, described as where "luxe meets comfort", in sizes ranging from three to eight. These can be snagged in two classic shades – black or camel.

Fashion fans were left gushing with Pia's Primark haul and many eagerly rushed to the comments to share their thoughts on her purchases. One person said: 'Obsessed every time.' Another added: 'I'm getting it all.' Meanwhile, a third gasped: 'Can't believe these are from Primark!! Wow.' Whilst someone else chimed in: 'Taking my behind to Primark this weekend.'

Next £10 dress a 'game changer' for anyone who struggles in summer
With a fitted, strapless silhouette and midi length, these dresses offer the ultimate balance between minimalism and ease We've had some scorchers already this year, and summer hasn't even arrived yet. When the heat is relentless - and for me, that's basically anything above 17 degrees - I find getting dressed a real chore. As someone who adores fashion, I really struggle to find an outfit where I'm both comfortable and cool in the heat, but still look stylish - however, I might have just found the perfect solution at Next. And the best part? They're only a tenner. The high street retailer has released a three-pack of ribbed bandeau midi dresses for £30. Effortlessly cool, wallet-friendly and easy to style, frankly, they're a game changer for summer 2025. The retailer has released not one, but two colourways of its bandeau midi dress triple pack. There's a neutrals option boasting black, taupe and a black and white striped version of the dress, as well as a set that features grey, red and lime green for those who prefer to inject a little more colour into their wardrobe. With a fitted, strapless silhouette and midi length, these dresses offer the ultimate balance between minimalism and ease. Made from 95% cotton, with a little bit of stretch, they deliver a flattering, body-hugging feel while remaining breathable - a must when temperatures soar. Plus no straps means no tan lines, no fuss, and no extra heat. Coming in sizes 6-20, the ribbed cotton bandeau dresses that will carry you from a picnic in the park to rooftop drinks without breaking a sweat. As part of the deal, each one works out at £10 apiece. The only downside is that shoppers can't mix and match the dresses or buy them individually. By comparison, Primark's black bandeau mini dress - while a summer staple in its own right - retails at £14 for a single piece. It's shorter than the Next dress and is only available in two shades, and has less cotton in the composition (77%), blended with polyester. Not only does that make the Next version more cost-effective, but also arguably more versatile thanks to its added length and colour variety. It can be paired with flipflops for a day at the beach, trainers for a day exploring in the city, or dress it up with heels and a leather jacket for a balmy summer evening date night. Elsewhere, for those looking for something a little more premium for more formal occasions, the Butter Yellow Bandeau Felicity Midi Dress at Nobody's Child is a beautiful option for £89. But for everyday dressing, especially for those sensitive to the heat, Next's ribbed bandeau midi dress triple packs are a summer no-brainer. Shoppers can get both sets, bagging six dresses for £60. That's your summer wardrobe, sorted.
