Primark has been on the receiving end of some unflattering comments over a pair of shoes that some shoppers are calling "granny sandals".The fast-fashion giant is usually a hit with shoppers looking for cute budget buys, but it looks like they have made a rare misfire, judging by the divided response they have received on social media.It comes as shoppers had similar comments on the budget retailer's new line of £20 quilted jackets that they all called "granny coats."Primark took to social media to share a snap of their new divisive buckled sandals that cost just £12 a pair.

Available in black and cream, the shoes feature a sling back style, knitted straps and gold buckle design. Despite all the features of a stylish pair of shoes, shoppers cannot decide whether they are "the ugliest thing they have seen", or "cute."Sharing the divisive snap to their 9.4 million fans on Instagram, Primark wrote : "Black or cream, which will you choose?
