Real vs. Steal

UPDATE: This post has been updated on August 06, 2009. Scroll down to see the new knockoffs.

I LOVE Giuseppe Zanotti shoes! No big surprise I know, which shoe fanatic wouldn’t love exquisite, premium Italian shoes? The sexy cutout sandals below belong to my absolute favorites, but since my budget won’t allow for such a heavy purchase, all I can do is dream. And look out for some knockoffs.

Giuseppe Zanotti Cutout Sandals
($520, Zappos)

P.S.: Endless has the same cutout sandals available in a few more sizes.

ZiGiny “Diva” Heel

UPDATE (08/06/2009): Found these awesome Giuseppe Zanotti knockoffs by ZiGiny today.

Finally someone got the cut-outs right even though I wish they would’ve kept the silver heel like the originals. Available color options are black, cognac and brown.

($99.95, Endless)

P.S.: Also available at Karmaloop.

Urban Vibe Strappy Heels

UPDATE (08/06/2009): Another great Giuseppe Zanotti knockoff version I found on Wet Seal.

Don’t they look like the Zanottis? Almost identical and they even have the cute silver stiletto heel. Best thing is: they retail for very affordable $24.50. Click on the link below and navigate to the shoe section or enter style number “41202128” in the search field to find the knockoffs on the website.

Michael Antonio “Selma” Cutout Sandals

UPDATE #1: So after I published the Giuseppe Zanotti knockoffs below a few hours earlier this day, I accidentally stumbled upon another Zanotti inspired pair.

The “Selma” cutout sandals by Michael Antonio are almost spot-on. The only thing that differs is the heel which is black instead of silver. Not talking about the quality aspect of course. The cutout edges on these here don’t look perfect as well, but at least they are a lot better than on the Pierre Dumas version, no? Other available color options at FlyJane are plum or red.

HOT DEAL: All my loyal InTheirCloset readers receive $10 OFF their purchase of $100 or more. Use coupon code FJINTHEIRCLOSET.

P.S.: Endless has the same sandals in black, grey, red, brown and plum.

Pierre Dumas IDEAL-2 Cutout Sandals

These sandals by Pierre Dumas are almost identical and although the cutout edges look a little bit raw, I think they are still a good option if you are looking to save a huge amount of cash (more than 90% to be exact!). The sandals come in either black or tobacco and retail for $46.98. Snap them up while you can, I’m pretty sure they will sell out soon.
