Primark has sent shoppers wild over the past few weeks after releasing several 'cosy' yet 'stylish' jumpers and cardigans for autumn. But it's the store's latest footwear that has sparked mass attention.

Shoppers can now get their hands on "the perfect autumn boot", while following in the footsteps of 'style icon' and Friends character, Rachel Green. Inspired by the 90s, Primark's viral Heeled Knee-High Boots have been given a new name on social media - the 'Rachel Green' boot.

Drawing from the iconic fashion choices of the time by Friends star Jennifer Aniston's character, the fashion executive would often sport shoes like these in different episodes of the sitcom, which ran for 10 years. However, Primark's version has been praised for its affordable price tag as the boots, available in black and brown, cost £26.

In a description of the boots online, Primark said: "Picture it – you’re heading out in New York city to enjoy a chilly walk and a coffee with your bestie. You reach for these 90s’ inspired knee-high boots, hastily zipping them up thanks to their handy zip-up fastening before throwing on a knitted mini dress with your thickest denier tights.

"Now, you may not actually be in said city, and there may not be a decent coffee shop nearby. But with these black heeled knee-high boots, you’ll feel like you’re starring in your very own autumn-set rom com."

On TikTok, shoppers are heaping praising on the 'Rachel Green' footwear. One said that "they're so comfy" whilst another commented these were "the perfect autumn boot!" A third shared: "I'm in my Rachel Green era with these boots! Need to go back and grab the other colour!"

However, not everyone had a great experience with the boots. One person claimed they "look so plastic" whilst another said they had an issue with the sizing. They wrote: "They felt a bit tight on me but hoping they will loosen. Although some of them the exact same size didn't even go on!"

A confused shopper didn't know why they're being called 'Rachel Green' boots. A few shared that Jennifer Aniston's iconic character in the sitcom Friends was known for wearing these shoes "all the time".
