Shoppers are flocking to Primark stores for a pair of £14 Loafer Clog Sandals that closely resemble a high-end designer option priced at £109. These affordable shoes come in sand and chocolate shades, available in women’s sizes 3 to 8, and feature a faux suede finish with a loafer-inspired design.
Striking Similarity to Dune’s Popular Mules
The Primark loafers draw direct comparisons to Dune’s Golden Suede Backless Mule Loafers, offered in brown, neutral, and taupe hues. Dune’s version ranks as a top seller on its site, with most online stock currently unavailable, though sizes 3 to 8 remain listed. Both styles share a backless mule silhouette that has caught widespread attention.
Social Media Enthusiasm and Mixed Reviews
TikTok user Yaz Moore highlighted the dupe potential, stating: “You’ll want to run to Primark because I have just found the best shoes I have seen here in a while. They are like a dupe of those Dune ones, which are really expensive. They do them in a few different colours.”
She added a caveat: “I feel like these aren’t for everyone. Some say they are like granny shoes, but I quite like them.”
Responses from other users vary. One enthusiast commented: “I like them. I want the lighter colour ones.” Another shared: “Thanks to this video I went and got the darker pair with the furry inside – my bf thinks they’re house slippers but I’m defo wearing them out with him.” A third posted: “I have these [heart eye emoji].”
Not everyone agrees, however. Critics noted: “I wouldn’t even wear them around the house,” and “I’m good thanks.”
Alternatives from Other Retailers
Dune also offers a backless mule loafer with faux shearling lining for £109. Comparable high-street options include Stradivarius Backless Leather Loafer Clogs in beige, available on Asos for £39.99, with most sizes 2 to 8 now sold out.
