The popular £12.99 'Lidl by Lidl' range went viral prior to its September 16 launch as shoppers took to social media to show off their new purchase.

In addition to their iconic trainers, the family supermarket also sell novelty socks for just £1.49.

Lidl have responded to the complaints by announcing on Twitter that they will be launching an investigation after a number of customers alerted them to the eBay sales of their stock.
