If you are familiar with the fashion blogosphere I’m pretty sure you will all remember the studded Chloé Susan (also sometimes called “Susanna” or “Suzanna”) ankle boots below as they’ve created quite a buzz among fashion bloggers in 2009. Even though they cost more than a grand, people bought them like crazy and the boots soon were sold out everywhere.

Chloé Pre-Fall 2008

The studded ankle boots were part of Chloé’s Pre-Fall 2008 collection and came in an array of colors like red, white, black and green (my personal favorite!).

Kate Bosworth & Sienna Miller Love Chloé

Famous fashionistas Kate Bosworth and Sienna Miller both sported the studded ankle boots in red. Kate was literally obsessed with those boots and wore them whenever possible last year. And can we blame her? They are so cute and both women looked absolutely fabulous wearing them, didn’t they?

Vince Camuto “Tema” Studded Booties

UPDATE (10/08/2012): I think I might have a new Chloé Doppelgänger favorite! These studded booties by Vince Camuto are not a direct 1:1 knockoff, but I love the quality of these ankle boots and while they have a few differences in design these still ooze the same look as the Chloé Susan booties, don’t they? Price: $132.63 (sale price!) & available in black, wolf grey and black brown.

AX Paris Buckle Stud Ankle Boots

UPDATE (10/25/2012): Found yet another Chloé Susan inspired boot. These AX Paris faux leather booties are not an exact match, but still similar enough to see the inspiration behind it.

ASOS AMAZON Leather Studded Biker Boots

UPDATE (08/25/2012): Finally, ASOS has joined the ranks of Office, Bronx, Schuh and the likes with their very own Chloé Susan boot look-a-like. It’s a bit bulkier than the original with a biker boot feel to it, but overall it still looks a lot like the highly popular Chloé bootie.

Office “Nighthawk” Stud Booties

UPDATE (07/06/2012): Good news! Office’s “Nighthawk” boots are now also available in red and white leather! Yay! But you better hurry, these shoes are flying off the shelves!

ITC reader Mat gave us a heads-up on these Chloé Susan boot look-a-like by Office. It sure looks like the identical sister of Office’s “Manic” boot which sold out a year ago or so. Available in black or brown.

Jeffrey Campbell “Starburst” Studded Ankle Boots

UPDATE (05/30/2012): Jeffrey Campbell‘s highly-coveted “Starburst” booties are now available for European fans for at British shoe e-tailer Office. Better get them quick before they sell out!

Free People always seems to get the best Jeffrey Campbell styles. First they got the awesome Ann Deumeulemeester lace-up boots and now they sell knockoffs of the iconic Chloé studded ankle boots (Free People call this style “Northern Lights” while JC and other retailers named it “Starburst”). Don’t they look almost identical? The heel is a bit off, but the studs and buckles are pretty close to the original. The only downsides are that the Jeffrey Campbell studded booties don’t come in red. But the boots are available in black, white and brown, so if you always wanted a budget-friendlier alternative, these Jeffrey Campbell knockoffs are probably your last and only chance as the Chloé booties are a couple of seasons old now.
