Primark shoppers 'need' £16 dupe trainers that look like £95 New Balance version

Primark shoppers have spotted another bargain in stores that gives them a designer look for a fraction of the price.

The high street giant is known for offering dupes of high-end brands at budget prices, and one of the latest offerings in the shoe section has caught the eye of shoppers. Primark showed off a pair of trainers on its Instagram page, describing them as "the most versatile trainers you need right now", that have a price tag of just £16.

Not only do the trainers come at a bargain, but they also bear a resemblance to another brand with a much heftier price tag, the Liverpool Echo reports. Some savvy shoppers have pointed out that Primark's shoes look like New Balance trainers - but a similar pair from the brand available on ASOS, which sports a white top and black soles just like the dupe, would set you back £95.

Primark showed the trainers being modelled on their Instagram page, paired with everything from a casual checked shirt and jeans to dressed up with a knee-length dress and leather jacket. Thousands of shoppers were quick to like the video, with one fan calling them "amazing" while another admitted they were "so tempted" to head to their nearest store to snap them up.

While Primark doesn't offer home delivery, the retailer does have a website where shoppers can see its latest products and check if they're in stock before heading into stores to buy them. You can browse Primark's collection of women's trainers here.

The trainers aren't the only dupe that have left Primark shoppers impressed lately. Last month, a £7 bag was spotted in stores that bore a striking resemblance to one from Prada - the main difference being that it didn't carry the staggering £2,500 price tag of the designer version.

Meanwhile, shoppers also raved about a jacket available from the high street store that looked similar to one from popular brand The North Face. Primark's "cosy" take on a fleece and waterproof jacket costs just £38, compared to The North Face version which is priced at £320.
