Temu

I bought some trainers for about £13 from Temu, they actually look ok although a bit plasticky, I’m going away soon so will be wearing them a lot, has anyone ever bought trainers from Temu? And did they last?

You're going to get a lot of snobs now banging on about how you shouldn't use Temu, even though a lot of parents here are really skint so they do.

I find quality hit and miss so it's hard to say how long yours will last.

I did buy some boots last year I thought would fall apart but they haven’t, first time buying trainers though

I've got trainers and work shoes from temu that have lasted really well. Similar quality to Primark as a high street equivalent I'd say.

Not a snob but they feel plasticky because they are plastic. They will probably last a holiday but I wouldn't expect more from them. It is not snobby to say Temu is an awful business model, that exploits people and makes literal trash for the planet.

I did buy some puma ones but sent them back as they were slipping, these are so comfortable and a fraction of the cost.

i buy loads from Temu (ducking from brickbats) you get what you pay for i would liken shoes to Shoezone reasonable price some times they last a good while. as for comfort most are marvellous i have trainers boots and sandals no complaints at all.
i have bought jumpers from them and Shein i find nothing wrong jumpers are mega soft sweat tops top layer very nylony but inside soft and fleecy good to wash quick to dry good value
lots of dresses are either polyester or t shirt type material rather than cotton but again ideal for quick washing and to be honest they wear marvellously i did put my summer dresses away today and they look like new the ones i have for winter are very comfortable soon put a cardigan on top
fleece tops super soft and wash lovely
i also buy a lot of household bits from them like posters stickers notices stationery etc
just bought some lovely Halloween bits and bobs great value and sturdy enough to put away for another year
