High street retailer Primark has been slammed by shoppers for selling 'the ugliest shoes ever'. The shoes cost £4 per pair, and are meant to be designer dupes.
Primark often hits the nail on the head when it comes to shoes that look like they're worth £100s instead of pocket change, but the retailer may have missed the mark this time.
Primark is selling its own version of Crocs in stores across the UK, and they've caused something of a divide amongst shoppers. Posting on the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK group, Nat Peek wrote: "£4 primark."

It wasn't long before shoppers found themselves in a heated argument about the £4 shoes.
Some people loved them, with Shirley Medd saying: "These are brilliant to slip on when your nipping to hang the washing out." Spamm Ellward added: "I’ve walked miles in these on my holiday what a bargain they was."
Carla Cass said: "Crocs are THE best. ( these are my newest addition) ..I love them .. crocs and socks for the win." Sophie Dooley said: "I got these and I love them."
Other shoppers weren't so convinced. And they did not hold back.
Sharon Brannigan wrote: "Never ever ever will I put these on my feet ,, nooooo way." Suz Hufton-Milnes blasted: "Ask yourself why they are £4. They are the ugliest shoes ever."
Tina Richardson said: "Working in these are one thing .... but to wear for fashion........ ehhh no. However, they are also great to wear when cutting the grass.... just rinse clean."
Wendy Mcgurty said: "Great for gardening.. Nothing else." Sammie Hutchinson criticised: "Wouldn’t take a pair if they were free."
Michelle Collins Williams commented: "Set them on fire." Kate Moscrop said: "They could be free and I’d still leave them in the store."
Primark has been approached for comment.
