Martin Lewis' Money Saving Expert website has revealed a trick that all shoe-lovers should know about to get a cheap new pair of kicks. 

High street retailers Office and Schuh have websites that allow shoppers to get brand-new shoes for a fraction of the price. 

Office Offcuts and Schuh Imperfects give customers the chance to buy shoes that are ex-display and have some bits of minor wear-and-tear. 

Ahead of Christmas and Black Friday, make sure you check these websites to find the perfect gift or even just a treat for yourself! 

Minor scuffs and tiny marks do not affect the overall quality of the shoe, and with huge brands such as Adidas, Converse and Havaiana this is a website that everyone should know about. 

How does it work? 

Each shoe is listed on the website with a picture and a clear description of the imperfection. 

Office Offcuts sell one-off exclusive last pairs and ex-display shoes. 

It has a grading system, which ranks shoes from P (which is totally perfect condition) to G4 (OK condition).

Schuh Imperfects say they offer shoes with have scuffs, discolouration and other individual quirks - "all character building stuff" according to the website. 

The best thing is both of these discounted sites ALSO have sales, meaning you can get even more money off your favourite brands. 

Both sites also let you return the shoes if you're not happy with them.
