Penneys shoppers are absolutely raving about about their latest addition to their summer wear with the retailer rolling out a brand of sandals that are almost identical to the designer brand Birkenstock.
With the weather starting to improve and many people beginning to plan for holidays abroad retailers are stocking up on brand new collections.
Birkenstocks are among some of the most popular brands of footwear particularly for their distinctive sandals.
However they can leave a serious hole in your pocket with the luxury brand often sitting on the higher end of pricing for their shoes.
But thankfully Penney's have released a set of their own sandals that are just a fraction of the price of the iconic Birkenstocks and shoppers are absolutely raving about them.
Penneys is offering three different styles of slides that are similar to Birkenstock's Madrid, Gizeh and Arizona shoes.
Spotted by Primark ‘obsessed’ TikTok vlogger, Primarkxo, the fashion lover compared the brand's €8 Buckle Strap Footbed Sandals to Birkenstock's €60 Madrid sandals.
This simple single-strap model has gone on to become a firm fashion favourite.
Penneys are offering stunning sandals that are very similar to the luxury brand and they come in three colours - Black, Silver and Blue.
The German shoe also comes in three colours - Black, White and Dark Brown.
The Madrid is the oldest member of the Birkenstock family of models, and the upper is made from the skin-friendly, hard-wearing synthetic material Birko-Flor, while the footbed is lined with suede.
In the video, which has over 13k views, the fashion vlogger compares £7 (€8) Slip On Sandals from Primark to the Gizeh Birko-Flor style Birkenstock that costs £65 (€75).
The Primark sandal would save you £58 and comes in two colours - Gold and White.
The Gizeh also comes in Gold and Silver. A pair of £65 (€70) Arizona Birkenstocks were also compared to Primark's €8 Double Buckle Strap Slides - as they both feature a double buckle.
The Primark Arizona dupes come in multiple colours - Black, White, Silver, Tan, Burnt Orange and Pink. There are many different styles of the Arizona shoe designed by Birkenstock in a range of colours, with some of them costing more than €100.
It's safe to say that Birkenstock's product will likely be longer lasting but if you're watching your spending and need a fashionable pair of sandals then this might be the way to go.
