Woman makes old Primark heels look 'exactly like' £525 Louboutin pair with a fiver

A woman has explained how she transformed an old pair of Primark shoes to look like a brand new pair of £525 Loubitins with nothing more than a lick of paint.

Jordan-Leigh Morris showed people on Tik Tok how she had managed to create the dupes, and her tip has gone viral.

People were blown away with the hack, which Jordan managed to carry out successfully using a bottle of £5 paint from Amazon.

In a video shared on her account, @jordanleighofficial, the woman showed off her Primark shoes before their transformation, where the soles were the same colour as the rest of the shoe.

But thanks to a generous coating of Angelus red acrylic leather paint - which Jordan-Leigh bought on Amazon - she was able to make her heels look exactly like the fancy red bottoms that would normally have set her back at least £500.

Jordan-Leigh's DIY hack has received over 451,000 views - and people can't believe how impressive the results are.

One person said: "Oh my god, they look amazing!"

While another added: "Cheaper and more comfortable."

And a third posted: "I need these in my life!"

Jordan-Leigh later took the comments to admit she is "obsessed" with how well the red paint turned out, as someone pointed out she's saved herself at least £525 thanks to her savvy skills, reports the Mirror.

Someone said: "Just saved yourself £525", to which Jordan-Leigh replied: "I know! So obsessed with how they turned out."

But not everyone was blown away by the hack, as some people claimed it was still obvious that her shoes were not really the designer Louboutins she was attempting to re-create.

One comment read: "You can tell by the heel at the bottom they aren't red bottoms. If you can’t afford to buy the real ones just wear your £9 ones."

"Apart from it still says Primark on the insole", another said.

However, Jordan-Leigh isn't bothered by the negativity, as she said she only wanted to paint her shoes so that she could re-create the look of red bottoms in photos, where the slight differences won't be noticeable.

She said: "Purely done for photo purposes. I’m not going to go and spend hundreds on shoes for photos."
