Judging by all the Real vs. Steal posts that cover shoes I think it’s safe to say that I’m a total shoe addict. I get a lot of emails with requests to identify shoes worn by celebrities and I am now debating whether I should be worried about the fact that I’m almost always able to recognize them. These Giuseppe Zanotti open-toe booties (RRP: $999) for example were quite easy to id because of all the unique details. Saw them and instantly knew the designer!

Michael Antonio “Misty” Ankle Boots

OK, I know these booties by Michael Antonio look slightly different because of the higher shaft, the stiletto shaped heel and the extra layer underneath the grommets, but it’s SO easy to see where the inspiration for these came from. They probably added the extra layer only because they wanted to release this bootie for the fall/winter collection. If you like the Giuseppe Zanottis, but don’t have the $$$ to splurge, these budget-friendly booties are a good investment.
