Primark's new £8 sandals look 'identical' to Prada's £420 pair

If you're a frequent Primark shopper, you'll know that there's plenty more to the store than cheap hoops and £1 thongs.

It might be a purse-friendly brand, but that doesn't mean you can't get clothing and accessories that looks like it's designer - without the price tag.

In fact, Primark is well-known for coming up with designer dupes for a fraction of their usual cost, and their latest product is no exception.

The latest designer-replica is a pair of £8 black sports sandals. The sandals have a foam sole and thick straps with a velcro fastening, reports the ECHO.

It's the style which has been massive this summer and one which has also been adopted by designer brand Prada.

The brand's 'Nomad sandals' are in the same foam-sole style and also have the velcro fastening too. In fact you may struggle to tell both pairs of shoes apart.

The one major difference between them both is the price. While Primark's are priced at £8 Prada's sandals will cost you £420.

Prada's of course have its logo on the strap, but if you're just looking for a pair of low price sandals for when the weather gets warmer, opting for Primark's will save you £412.

And before you start nagging (you know who you are), we know they're not exactly the same - that wouldn't be legal.

But for those of us who can't afford to dish out £400 for a pair of sandals, this budget Primark pair doesn't look too shabby, so please, let us enjoy our five minutes of feeling faux-boujee in peace.
