The new Primark sandals look similar to a designer version – but there’s a huge price difference
Primark is selling a new pair of sandals that look very similar a more expensive version. Renowned for delivering budget-friendly trends in fashion and homeware, the popular retailer looks to have unveiled another hit among shoppers.
The Edit Footbed Sandals bear an uncanny likeness to luxury label Rollie’s own interpretation, yet comes with a much smaller price tag. Shoppers can pick up Primark’s version for £26, in stark contrast to the high-end piece currently fetching $209.95 (around £158) online.
Both bags share key features such as a moulded footbed, cork underlay, a flat sole, and an open, rounded toe. They both have similar crossover straps and similar colourways available.
However, there are some differences in the two designs. The Primark shoes have suede-effect straps, with a gold-tone bar in the middle, while the designer version does not.
Primark’s full 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.
“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 designer description reads: “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.”
Primark’s The Edit Footbed Sandals are priced at £26, while the Rollie Rhodes Cross Slide Rustic Brown Slides come in at $209.95 (around £158). This means shoppers could save around £132 by opting for the budget shoes.
