Primark's 'timeless' £16 heels look 'just like' £530 designer shoes
The Primark shoes bear a striking resemblance to a much more expensive pair from designer Marina Rinaldi
Primark is currently selling a pair of shoes that are remarkably similar to a more expensive counterpart. The high street giant, renowned for its budget-friendly fashion and homeware, may have just launched a new latest crowd-pleaser.
The Pointed Slingback Heels from Primark bear a striking resemblance to a style by luxury brand Marina Rinaldi but at a fraction of the price. Shoppers can bag the Primark version for £16, while the designer alternative retails at £530 online.
Both pairs feature matching snake-print designs in neutral tones, slingback straps and pointed toes. They both also feature a low heel.
However, there are some differences between the two. The designer shoes feature a satin material, while Primark's are matte. The Primark shoes also feature a small bow on the front that is not present on the Marina Rinaldi shoes.
Primark describes the sandals as "a pair of slingback heel with pointed toes and bow detail." They are available in natural or white.
The full Primark product description reads: "Step into timeless elegance with these snakeskin slingback pumps, perfect for dressing up or down. Designed with a sleek pointed toe and dainty bow detail on the vamp, they bring just the right amount of charm.
"The slim slingback strap features a Metallic buckle for an adjustable fit, while the heel adds subtle lift . A crisp matte finish and light tan outsole trim complete the look. Pair them with wide-leg trousers for vintage flair or a summer dress for wedding-ready style."
The designer description states: "Sweetheart neckline for these satin sling back court shoes with elasticated straps. Ideal for completing both elegant dresses and trousers."
Primark's Pointed Slingback Heels retail for £16, while the Marina Rinaldi sling-back court shoes in animal-print leather come in at £530. This means shoppers could save £514 by opting for the cheaper alternative.
Shoppers can now get their hands on the Primark shoes, in natural or white, in stores. Shoppers can check stock levels at their closest store or opt for Click and Collect here.
