Aldi is preparing to launch a new collection of women's boots that bear a striking resemblance to a premium outdoor brand - but at less than a third of the cost. The supermarket unveils fresh Special Buy offers every Thursday and Sunday, and has now given customers a sneak peek at what's arriving next week.
The launch will appear in Aldi's sought-after middle aisle as a time-limited promotional item. The forthcoming release is aimed at customers seeking budget-friendly, casual alternatives to popular fashion trends this autumn and winter.
Aldi's Warm-Lined Neoprene Boots from Crane are scheduled to hit shelves nationwide from Thursday, October 22. The discount retailer claims the waterproof footwear, stocked in sizes 4 to 12, will "keep feet warm, dry and comfortable whatever the weather".
Offered in black, the boots feature a rubber construction combined with a "warm textile lining" on the interior. When sales begin next week, the boots will be priced at £24.99.
A quick search online reveals remarkably similar styles available elsewhere at significantly higher prices. The budget-friendly boots could serve as an alternative for those who fancy the look of these £79.99 Sherpa Webbing Boots from Hunter (via Amazon ), reports the Liverpool Echo.
Describing the boots online, Amazon said: "Beat the cold in style by wearing the Hunter Sherpa Webbing Boot. Textile and synthetic upper. Textile lining and insole. Pull-on style closure with stretchable material. Pull tabs for added comfort. Round toe silhouette. Synthetic outsole."
Much like Aldi's offering, the Hunter version features similar fleece lining, though the supermarket's version comes in black, while Hunter's boots and fur come in contrasting colours.
