The budget fashion retailer is stocking a trendy style that looks similar to a pricier alternative
Primark is selling ‘striking’ £20 heeled sandals that could rival a pricier pair. The high street retailer is often a go-to destination for fashion-forward shoppers seeking stylish outfits, stocking a wide range of clothing, accessories, and footwear. For shoe fans, the store could have introduced a new must-have.
At Primark, shoppers can nab Strappy Floral Mesh Heeled Sandals for £20. Described as ‘ black strappy heels with 3D floral mesh detail and a slim stiletto heel,’ the eye-catching heels could be ideal for evening events, such as Christmas parties or New Year’s Eve. The sandals also arguably resemble Next’s Linzi Black Valentine Flower Strappy Heeled Sandals, which are offered in black, cream, or red for £38.
For shoppers who like both looks, opting for Primark’s take on the strappy sandals trend could save them £18. However, it’s worth noting the shoes aren’t identical, and given the wider range of colours offered by Next, some shoppers might prefer the pricier style.
There are several similarities between the two heels when you compare the black pairs. Both designers have opted for a similar style, featuring a small heel, along with a simple ankle strap and criss-cross design, complemented by a large decorative flower placed on each shoe across the toes.
That said, the heel sizes do vary, and on the Next sandals, the floral embellishment has a satin-like finish, whereas Primark opted for mesh. There could also be differences in materials and construction.
The product description for the Primark heels states: “Bring drama to your look with these strappy floral mesh heeled sandals. Designed in a sleek black finish, they feature a smooth upper with an open toe and a single front strap.
“A bold 3D floral detail sits on top, crafted with subtle mesh touches for extra texture. The slender stiletto heel adds height, while the delicate ankle strap and buckle keep everything secure. A padded insole adds comfort so you can enjoy every step.
“A striking pick for evenings and special moments.” Shoppers interested in the shoes can use Primark’s website to check in-store availability or select the heels for click-and-collect.
The product description for the Next heels states: “Indulge in the luxury of these Valentine heeled sandals. Adorned with a lavish flower embellishment and secured with a wrap around ankle strap. The cushioned insole provides ultimate comfort, making them the perfect choice for any occasion.”
Shoppers interested in the shoes can purchase them on Next’s website. The heels are highly rated by reviewers online. One customer commented: “Wore for a wedding all day very comfortable.”
Another buyer said: “Perfect fit.” Someone else wrote: “Lovely shoe size 4 perfect fit very comfortable good price very happy with them.”
