Primark is sending shoppers 'straight to the tills' for the 'most perfect summer shoes' - and they only cost £20 each. Shoppers have been swooning over the newly-released pair, which they say can be styled with almost anything.
Primark's £20 Floral Open Toe Heels feature a tropical-looking orchid flower on each shoe. There are two colours to choose from—red and blush pink—and sizes start from a UK three and go up to an eight.
A description of the heels on Primark's website reads: "These red open-toe heels are a true statement piece, with vibrant floral embellishments adorning the front for a bold and eye-catching touch. The satin finish adds a luxurious sheen, while the ankle strap and platform sole provide both style and support."
The store adds: "Perfect for adding a pop of colour to evening wear or elevating a special occasion outfit." The footwear has been a hit on social media, especially TikTok, where shoppers have been uploading rave videos about the shoes.
On the popular video-sharing platform, a content creator called Aavajean posted a clip of the red and blush shoes, describing them as "The most perfect summer shoe." In the comment section, a viewer called Mufaro asked: "Are they comfy?"
Aavajean admitted she raced to the checkout to buy the shoes 'without thinking'. She replied: "You know what, I didn’t even try them on, straight to the till." Mufaro commented back: "You know what I hear it would have done the same." This prompted Aavajean to add: "Too impulsive".
Elsewhere in the comments, Sophmuaa wrote: "Spectacular gimme 14 of 'em." Kelsie added: "Love omgggg." Katie Farrell said: "Need these." Lynzi admitted something many people would agree with, writing: "I’m tempted to buy a pair... but I mean I don’t really need another pair of shoes lol."
In a separate video uploaded to TikTok, fashion blogger Zoeilanahill gave her followers a glimpse of what the shoes look like on. In her video, captioned: "Let’s style the viral flower heels from Primark," she described the shoes as "stunning".
She wore the blush version of the shoes with a pair of light blue wide-leg jeans, an off-the-shoulder pastel blue top and a matching sequin bag. Reeling off all the other outfits the shoes would go well with, she said: "The ways of styling these are endless."
She added: "I love how they look. They are literally one of the most stunning shoes. They help to make a bit more of a statement. " One person replied: "OMG those shoes with that bag." Zoeilanahill herself responded back, saying: "How cute?!"
In another video about the shoes, this time uploaded by Primark's East London account, a shopper called Gina said: "I’m buying them asap." Jasmine added: "i need every colour please and thank you." However, Gaszczixx put: "They are cute but all of the shoes from primark are so uncomfortable and painful after a short time of wearing them."
Primark uploaded its own video of the new shoes, writing: "It’s giving 'I’m currently out of office'." After going live last night (April 8), the clip has already been viewed almost 20,000 times.
In other Primark news, fashion fans looking for an affordable alternative to Coach's popular Ashton Bag might like the budget high-street fashion brand's similar offering. Its Rita Ora Multi-Pocket Baguette Bag costs £14 and could be easily mistaken at a glance for Coach's beloved Ashton Bag.
The Coach bag is currently £289 on sale, with the original price listed at £450. So by getting a cheaper alternative that looks almost the same at Primark, shoppers could save themselves hundreds.
