Well,

I have purchased 4 of these as i wanted to stock up!

Currently Primark are selling (and have been a short while) these pump trainers for £2 in sizes 3-7 and in colours: Grey, Black and White.
Think they do red and blue too but they are in a different section and cost more. Maybe £4-6?

This photo is a replica -closest match i can find!

I bought a grey pair bcos i like the style and was suprised at how comfortable they were. Ive worn them about 15-20 times so far and theyre doing their job as well as any more expensive version like Gola that you'd find in Office.

Obviously Primark is cheap, and its not uncommon for this sort of price. But £2 and not even on Sale!!! I think thats awesome.
If it was summer theyd be more expensive! And ive stocked up!

There were LOADS available when i last went it.

    Will pop into the big one in Argyle St tomorrow and grab a few pairs for dd. These in black and black skinny jeans seem to be all she'll wear to school these days. Will stock up, thanks OP!

    My DD was wearing the black ones for school before we got the bad weather, and they lasted really well, she wore them everyday for around 2 months and they still haven't fallen apart, she also has a couple of pairs of the grey and they lasted really well, great for holidays aswell as they are really comfy.

    I wouldnt be recommending them if that was the case! Hence the 4 pairs!
    :)

    Just as good as any other high street shop.

    I got some last year and the insoles weren't glued in properly :(

    As I walked, they started to creep out the back of the shoes! Some glue soon fixed that though and they are very comfortable now :)
  • Since my last comment, at 9:04 this morning, my shoes have bloody broken (the sole has, like, snapped!). Me and my big mouth. Still, lasted a good few months and will get some more.

    I've got loads of these in case they ever stop selling them! One thing I would say - try them on first as I'm a size 6 and have to wear a 7 in these.
