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.
