Marc Jacobs esque Primark flats!

I remember when shopping at Primark elicited looks of shock and disbelief from fashion fans. Now even the fash pack are clamouring to buy their dirt-cheap catwalk copies (remember that £10 gold sequinned shrug?). The latest fashion-forward find in the shoe department is a bang-on alternative to Marc Jacobs £200 button strap flats. The Primark ones are identical in almost every way, all they're missing is the ankle strap and the hefty price tag. They're £8 in stores now (also available in red and yellow, I believe).

These are cute unless you have funny toes, short or too long, they show them all!

i really like those asos ones simone posted, though the original and the primark ones are cute too.

I have exactly those MJs - and I love them, but they scratch off the enamel on my big toes! )
I wonder if those alternative ones do...

I've seen these Primark ones up close and they are a funny shape. Firstly they are too long and look really cheap, secondly they look realllllly weird when on the feet, making toes look weirdly naked and ugly!!
