Acne‘s Atacoma wedges have been lusted after and obsessed over countless times after Alexa Chung has sported a pair on her now cancelled MTV show. They sold out as soon as they hit the virtual shelves of several online shops, have been restocked again, then sold out again.

Jeffrey Campbell 99 Zip Wedges
While these wedges by Jeffrey Campbell are not as high as the Atacomas and also don’t have the silver platform, overall they are still a good and affordable alternative.

I wanted the pair from Forever21 and debated for a few hours before buying but when I went to buy they were sold out.
*kick*
@Taylor: Wasn’t aware F21 used to have a Atacoma knockoff? Was it recently? And sorry about the missed shoe oppurtunity. Definitely had a few of those moments myself.
boooo why are those aldo shoes only available in the uk! I want!
oh and i forgot to mention that I did manage to get a pair of those jeffrey campbell 99 ties from http://www.eilatan.com/ but they only have a few sizes left now…. but now I like those Aldo ones more! If I can get my hands on the Aldo pair, I will sell my JCs….
Is it wrong that these make me think of those built-up orthopedic shoes?
Nothing wrong with that, Alicia. To each their own. Some love these extreme wedges while others don’t. That’s fashion.
