R12. That’s the new-user price on a breathable knitted sports sneaker that covers campus walking, outdoor use, and casual wear — all in a low-top design available in extended sizes. South African students are buying this in numbers, and the price tag alone tells you why.
Campus footwear on a student budget has always been a compromise. You either spend R600+ on something that actually holds up, or you spend R200 on something that looks right for two months and falls apart by midterm. This Women’s Solid Color Sports Shoe from Temu is one of the rare exceptions — a breathable knitted low-top built for outdoor and daily use, available in extended sizing, and priced at R12 for new app users. Shoppers who follow the uni24 consumer and shopping hub know that this category of Temu women’s footwear has been producing consistent hits — and this one sits among the strongest value buys published so far.
What You’re Getting
Full product name: Women’s Solid Color Sports Shoes, Breathable Knitted Low-Top Outdoor Footwear, Comfortable Large Size Shoes for Women — Women Shoes, Sneakers. New app user exclusive: R12 — once per account. Standard Temu price: approximately R145–R260 (verify current price in the Temu app before purchasing — prices change regularly).
🧶
Breathable Knitted Upper
Knit construction actively ventilates throughout the day. Outperforms synthetic uppers in heat and humidity — exactly what South African campuses demand across spring and summer.
👟
Low-Top Silhouette
Clean, minimal low-top design that works equally well with casual jeans, athletic wear, or summer dresses. Versatile enough to carry through every part of the student day.
🏃♀️
Sports-Engineered Build
Designed for sports and outdoor footwear use, not just aesthetics. The sole and cushioning handle running, gym sessions, and prolonged outdoor walking.
📏
Large Size Inclusive
Explicitly listed as “comfortable large size” shoes — sizing extends beyond standard ranges. An underserved category in South African retail that Temu addresses directly here.
🎨
Solid Color Design
Clean single-colour options make this easy to pair with any outfit. No clashing graphics or busy patterns — just a sharp, versatile sports sneaker that works on and off campus.
🌿
Outdoor-Ready
Listed specifically as outdoor footwear. The outsole handles mixed surfaces — campus paths, grass, light trail, and paved walkways. Not just a gym shoe with a marketing stretch.

Why South African Students Are Choosing This Over Retail Alternatives
Women’s sports sneakers at South African retail — Mr Price Sport, Totalsports, Sportscene — bottom out at around R350–R500 for a knitted sports shoe of comparable construction. At R145–R260 standard (and R12 for new users), this Temu sneaker undercuts that floor significantly. The large-size inclusive design is particularly relevant: extended women’s sizing is consistently underserved in South African budget retail, and Temu’s catalogue fills that gap in a way local chains rarely do. This shoe builds naturally on what’s become a growing footwear series on uni24 — the R16 Women’s Breathable Sneakers guide covers a lace-up walking alternative from the same Temu category if you want a comparison before deciding.
The knitted upper is the key technical advantage here. Woven fabric construction flexes with the foot, reduces friction, and breathes actively — unlike PU-coated synthetics that look similar in product photos but trap heat and stiffen with use. For students navigating long days in the heat of a Gauteng or KwaZulu-Natal summer, that difference is felt within the first two hours of wear. The same cross-campus endurance that makes the R17 Men’s Running Sneaker worth buying applies here — and the women’s range is just as strong. Pair this with the R25 slip-on hiking shoe for outdoor weekend use and you have a two-shoe complete setup for under R300 from Temu.
Students building a full wardrobe on a tight budget who want to make this shoe part of a larger first order should read the Temu wardrobe under R2,000 guide — it maps out exactly how to stack Temu purchases for maximum value. And for those who want to round out a first order with accessories under R100, the best quality Temu buys under R100 is a reliable starting point.
