£16 Primark trainers are just like £70 New Balance 725 version

When it comes to comfort, you can't beat a nice comfy pair of trainers. They can be worn anywhere from long walks to supermarket trips or even to dress down a nice suit.

Primark fans were quick to spot that a pair of shoes shared by the brand on its social media pages looked identical to the New Balance 725. The new trainers, which have only just been launched, were styled by Jess Elle King who specialises in 'everyday wearable style' outfits.

The Irish budget shopping chain is known for designer dupes where shoppers can pick up outfits for less. Primark captioned the post: "The most versatile trainers you need rn." The trainers were styled with a trench coat, leggings, a t-shirt and socks, reported the Liverpool Echo.

The shoes are identical with matching soles, markings and a similar colour scheme. The Primark pair are priced at £16 in comparison to the New Balance shoes which are £70.

One Primark shopper wrote: "She wears these so well!" Another agreed, saying: "I was so tempted to pick these up in the Trafford Centre store today but I own way too many pairs of trainers already."
