Real vs. Steal – Miu Miu Forma Cutout Sandals

by Vahni on March 11, 2011

UPDATE: This post has been updated on March 11, 2011. Scroll down to see the new add.

What’s the equivalent of fishnets for the feet? Miu Miu‘s Forma Cutout Sandals. Diagonal weave? Check. Skin peeking through? Check. A little coverage and a little tease? Check and check. Seriously, could they be sexier? I think not. And not many sandals can work with date-night dresses and formal gowns.

N.Y.L.A. “Megu” Caged Platform Pumps

UPDATE (04/29/2010): I know I’ve said Aldo has probably the best of these Miu Miu knockoffs, but after discovering the caged cut-out heels by N.Y.L.A. below I want to eat my words! They’re a little pricier than the Aldos, but sooo close to the original it almost feels like stealing. Almost!

I love the cheap chic version. Too bad they’re no longer available in my size :(
