She captioned the video: “I love Shein but damnnn? They stooping to a new low… still going to wear them though.
“It wasn’t advertised on the website with the Zara logo either.”

Another also found the whole situation amusing and added: “Zara is selling the same ones, without zaba.”
Others were not put off by the logo, as some explained that they were adding the sandals to their “basket.”
