Shoppers praise Primark’s £14 Loafer Clog Sandals for their close resemblance to Dune’s high-end Golden Suede Backless Mule Loafers, priced at £109. Available in sand and chocolate shades, these loafers come in women’s sizes 3 to 8 and feature a faux suede finish with a loafer-inspired design.
Spotting the Designer Dupe
TikTok user Yaz Moore highlights the similarity, urging followers to visit Primark. “You’ll want to run to Primark because I have just found the best shoes I have seen here in a while,” she says. “They are like a dupe of those Dune ones, which are really expensive. They do them in a few different colours.”
Dune offers its loafers in brown, neutral, and taupe shades. Currently the brand’s top seller online, most sizes remain unavailable, though stock exists in sizes 3 to 8.
Mixed Reactions from Shoppers
Moore notes the style divides opinions: “I feel like these aren’t for everyone. Some say they are like granny shoes, but I quite like them.” Social media responses vary. One user comments, “I like them. I want the lighter colour ones.” Another shares, “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.”
Positive feedback includes, “I have these [heart eye emoji].” Critics respond, “I wouldn’t even wear them around the house,” and “I’m good thanks.”
