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!

ALDO “Kerbow” Basket Weave Sandals
UPDATE (02/22/2010): I was so thrilled to find these amazing knockoffs by ALDO! They look like an almost identical copy of the Miu Mius, but cost less than 1/7 of the originals’ price. Best Deal EVER!

Matalan Laser Cut Platform Shoe Boots
Oh, have we found a lucky little cheat: the Matalan Laser Cut Platform Shoe Boot. UK-based Matalan has produced an amazing version of Miu Miu’s fantastic Forma—for about what I spend on coffee in a week’s time. Perfecto!

I love the cheap chic version. Too bad they’re no longer available in my size
Really fabulous looking shoes, it certainly catches eyeballs.
