Red pumps – every woman should have at least one pair of red pumps in her closet. Slip them on and you’ll have an instantly sexed up outfit. This red patent Valentino bow peep-toe pump is one of the most lustworthy shoes I’ve seen in a while. I adore everything about it. The vibrant color, the heel and of course the cute big bow on the vamp. It’s a great mix between sexy (red color) and elegant (bow). If you opt for the original, it will set you back $645.

Thanks to Paris Hilton and her copycat designer team you can now buy a very cute and super similar Valentino bow pump version for a wholet lot less. Don’t they look awesome for knockoffs?

Real vs. Steal – Valentino Crystal Versailles Bow Satin Pumps

by Roseanne on December 19, 2011

The Valentino “Crystal Versailles” Bow Satin Pumps definitely have a wow factor. They feature a bow across the vamp which is super glam and feminine and I adore the blush satin. With New Year’s coming around the corner, I think these would definitely spice up any ensemble. I love everything about these pumps, from the embellishments to the bow; these are must for shoe lovers. Plus, the towering heel makes my heart melt. If only I had $1.195. But without a doubt, these pumps have made my fantasy wish list.

ZiGi Soho “Supreme” Bow Satin Pumps

For a more realistic option, the ZiGi Soho “Supreme” Bow Satin Pumps are pretty much spot-on with the design. When I first saw these, I had scroll back up to Valentino pumps to make sure that they weren’t the same shoe. From the embellishments, coloring, and bow detailing, these pumps mirror the ones by Valentino. This steal is a fantastic budget-conscious version at $139.99.

Real vs. Steal – Valentino Bow D’Orsay Pumps

This fantastic Valentino Bow D’Orsay Pump may look a little familiar to you…that’s because we featured the red version here on ITC back in July 2009. But nude heels are so hot right now that we felt compelled to revisit this pair. They’re a totally fresh take on nude—sculptural and feminine at the same time.

Real vs. Steal – Valentino Bow Espadrilles

by Vahni on June 29, 2011

UPDATE: This post has been updated on June 29, 2011. Scroll down to see the new add.

How precious and supergirlie are these Valentino Bow Espadrilles? What a lovely summer shoe. Of course, a shoe like this begs to be paired with a breezy sundress, but I also think they’d be a nice contrast to a pair of denim cutoffs (which are everywhere already). But you know espadrilles aren’t known for being a great return-on-investment—once they reach a certain amount of wear, they have to be binned. Cute as they are, I just can’t justify $495 for an espadrille.

Real vs. Steal – Valentino Bow Lace Kitten Pumps

by Erica on January 19, 2011

For those ladies that fear walking on stilts can still look fashionable by wearing these adorable kitten heals. I absolutely LOVE the romantic lace that Valentino uses on these kitten pumps and of course Valentino always does that perfect bow that cannot be mimicked by any competition. But, with a price tag of $855, we thought we’d give you some budget-friendly options!

Martinez Valero “Ursula” Lace Pumps

Martinez Valero “Ursula” Lace Pumps are a great alternative! The shoe may not have the same classic bow Valentino makes, yet the pump does give you the same romantic look and priced at $149.95 it’s definitely a steal compared to the real Valentinos! Available in black, nude and ivory lace.
