It's not often that a pair of $20 shoes become Australia's newest fashion staple, but Kmart's Casual Knit Square Toe Mules have done just that.
Fashion influencers around the country have been telling shoppers that they "need to go buy a pair right now" after the last shipment sold out within days.
In fact, this is the second time the budget retailer has re-released the knitted mules after a huge online plea for the stylish and "comfy" shoes to return.
With a solid 4.9 stars on the Kmart website, shoppers are flooding in with rave reviews saying they're "lovely knit shoes, great quality for the price and very comfortable."
A second shopper spoke about her struggle to find shoes that fit, saying "I have wide feet that have never fit this style of shoe!!
"They fit in this shoe and they don’t look like they’re being smooshed!!
"I’m gate keeping this shoe just in case they sell out forever!!"

Other shoppers said they're "so easy to slide on and wear for any occasion, dress them up or down," making a great versatile shoe, with some even buying multiple colours.
TikTok can't get enough of them with influencers such as Olivia Burrows showing the shoes off to her 31,000 followers.
"Kmart have these shoes, they come in two colours," she tells her audience.
She then shows two outfits that go with the black and cream pair, with hundreds of her impressed followers commenting.
"Love them!" someone wrote.
"Might need to make a trip to Kmart."
CurvySam also showed her 58,000 followers the grey mules in multiple videos.
"These are the best!" a happy shopper wrote.
The mules are available in sizes from 5 to 11 in four versatile neutral colours: black, cream, olive green and grey, and easily go with any outfit as the weather warms up.
