Primark’s new boots look similar to a more expensive pair – and there’s a huge price difference
Primark is stocking new boots that bear a striking resemblance to a designer pair. Known for its affordable fashion and footwear, the high street retailer could have just introduced a new crowd-pleaser. The budget chain’s Rita Ora Faux Leather Knee High Boots look similar to a style from Isabel Marant, but at a fraction of the price.
Shoppers can snag Primark’s boots for £26, while the Seenia Leather Knee-High Boots are currently selling online for £716. The black knee-high boots look very similar, with a simple yet sophisticated design, glossy finish, and block heel.
Shoppers could easily mix and match the boots with the same outfits. However, there are some differences between the two. The Primark boots are faux leather, unlike the calfskin leather designer boots, and there are subtle design differences.
Primark describes the boots as “faux leather knee-high boots with a block heel and lug sole from the Rita Ora collection.” The product description reads: “Step out in style with these Rita Ora faux leather knee high boots. Made from smooth black faux leather, they feature a sleek, straight shaft that reaches the knee.
“A rounded toe and low block heel keep them practical, while the thick lug sole adds a contemporary finish. Plus, the full length inside zipper and heel tabs makes them easy to slip on and off. Designed for everyday wear, these boots combine modern style with comfort, making them a versatile addition to your footwear collection.”
Isabel Marant is described as “the cool girl’s go-to for Parisian insouciance.” The product description reads: “It’s the minutiae that set apart this pair of casual knee-high boots from Isabel Marant. They’re made from calfskin leather, featuring round toes, block heels, and exposed double-stitched details.”
Despite these differences, both styles are likely to be popular with shoppers. However, those who prefer the high street version can save £690. Primark shoppers can grab the Rita Ora Faux Leather Knee High Boots, available in black or tan, from click and collect now.
Alternatively, shoppers looking for another pair of boots might like the £26 Ribbed Knee High Boots, described as “black knee high boots with a ribbed side panel and block heel.”
The product description reads: “Step out in style with these black ribbed knee high boots. Designed with a rounded toe and low block heel accented with a metallic detail, they combine fashion with comfort.
“The ribbed elastic panel at the side ensures a snug, flexible fit, while the inner zip makes them easy to put on and take off. A cleated sole adds grip and practicality, perfect for day-to-day wear.
“Made with a leather-look front, these boots are a versatile addition to your wardrobe, pairing effortlessly with skirts, dresses or skinny jeans for a modern, polished look.”
