If you spend £495 on a pair of shoes, you’re probably not going to clean the house while wearing them.

But shoppers are suggesting that a pair of Jimmy Choo flats look like something you would use to actually wash the floors.

The green shearling shoes from the designer brand have been compared to a £5 cleaning brush because of the fluffy design.

The description for the shoes on the Jimmy Choo website says: ‘Merlin is a fun and funky rework in fluffy AstroTurf coloured shearling.

‘With a strong, contemporary chiselled toe this green style has a sense of pragmatism, but also of fun.’

But people on social media weren’t impressed with the style.

One said: ‘I love shoes. I would love a pair of Jimmy Choo.. But what in the mother of all crap are these???? £495 to look like I have turf or carpet on my feet.’

Another added: ‘Sorry Jimmy Choo but no I do NOT want to pay £495 for dust mitts and wear them as shoes…’

A friend replied to her post and said: ‘Get some to shuffle round the house. Clean up the dust!.’

‘I could stick dusters to my feet for about 50p!!!,’ she laughed.

Jim Rimmer simply added a picture of a duster on a post about the shoes and said: ‘They cost less than a fiver on Amazon.’

But the fleecey shoes are already popular with half of the sizes already sold out online.

If you can’t afford the £495 price tag, you could always try these mop slippers instead for £7.99.
