Man, with so many fun wedges being produced—like the Surface To Air Wedge Buckle Ankle Boots—I can barely come up for air before I’m stalking yet another pair. It’s madness. Not it’s addiction. OK. Let’s just all recite this together, shall we?: My name is ____________, and I am a shoeaholic. My only saving grace is that I haven’t resorted to stealing to get my fix. And I’d almost have to to afford $470+ for this pair.

ALDO “Mcgarrigle” Lace Up And Buckle Wedge Ankle Boots
Alright, my little shoeaholics, luckily our friends at ALDO also think we deserve to sport a wedge like the Surface To Air pair, with our integrity still in tact—no begging, stealing, or borrowing required. The Aldo Lace Up And Buckle Wedge Ankle Boots are near perfect replicas, and in a black suede that is delectable when paired with black tights or leggings. Imagine legs that look a mile long in heels you can easily walk in…for under $155. Fix delivered.

Finally! I officially have found the perfect nude pump! Are you surprised it is by the man of our shoe dreams, Monsieur Christian Louboutin? I am not. The strange thing is that I’ve been aware of the Banana pumps for quite some time now, but it wasn’t until today before I realized they are the perfect shape. And don’t get me started on the delicious patent nude color. You know you’ve found your perfect shoe when there isn’t one single thing you’d want to change about them… Wait! Oops, sorry, actually there are TWO things I’d change about these darlings here: a) the availability (they’re sold out) and b) the price ($800 isn’t exactly my kind of shoe shopping budget).

ALDO “Withey” Peep-toe Pumps
If Louboutins are out of your price range as well, opt for these equally amazing ALDO pumps instead. You might recognize these from our recent Nude Shoes Under $100 post. The only difference is the hidden platform; otheriwse it’s all there: the delicious nude patent leather, the perfectly shaped arch, the sky-high stiletto heel… and they’re only $80, not $800. Also available in black patent.

Liliana “Cord” Platform Pumps

In case you’re not feeling like spending $80 on shoes right now, but still crave a new pair of heels, consider these gorgeous nude pumps by Liliana. They look a lot like the ALDO version, just a tad darker, and again have a hidden platform. I absolutely love these – especially the killer price of $28.95! New shoes for under $30, how great is that? Even less ($26.05 to be exact) if you use the coupon code above. You better be quick to order because these will go fast!

I often don’t get why so many people are obsessed with Sienna Miller‘s style, but occasionally I find myself adoring one or two of her outfits. Last year Sienna attended the New York premiere of “The September Issue” in a baby blue Thakoon strapless mini dress which she paired with her favorite pair of sunglasses, gold Jimmy Choo heels and a gunmetal Bottega Veneta box clutch. No headbands or anything you’d call boho chic. Just pure sexiness! I LOVE when celebrities mix things up a little and stray away from their signature style!

The best part about investing in a pair of open booties is that they’re multi-seasonal, which means more wear for your money. I can see this pair of MICHAEL Michael Kors looking fierce right now with a pair of shorts and totally sexy during the holiday season with a long sleeve mini dress.

ALDO “Volmer” Sandals
ALDO gets it done a little differently, but just as good. The Volmer sandal (bootie) has a small platform heel which is great for some extra height and visual leg length. Plus, your pedicure will love you all year long! Available in black or nude.

Acne‘s Atacoma wedges have been lusted after and obsessed over countless times after Alexa Chung has sported a pair on her now cancelled MTV show. They sold out as soon as they hit the virtual shelves of several online shops, have been restocked again, then sold out again. If you are a EU size 37 you can still get them for a steep $620 (€430) at MyTheresa. Cheap, I know!

Alright, listen up all you Kim Kardashian haters who blasted her in one of my previous posts: if you don’t like her here, just click away! If you’re still reading, then I’m going to consider you Team Kim. And I don’t care what anyone says, Kim’s bod is sick and she is totally gorgeous. So what if she likes tight. Now’s the time, not when she’s 80. So I say Kim in lacy Preen, with bright pink nails and Veronica Lake hair? Yeah, baby!

We’ve featured quite a number of Christian Louboutin shoes here on InTheirCloset and I think that’s because, other than being extremely popular with our readers, they are also what I would classify as “classic”. Louboutin pumps range from demure to over the top but almost all of them feel timeless. CL’s “Claudia” ankle-strap sandals are no exception. They are simply a new take on a tried and true shoe. Look how beloved these are by hollywood starlets and Playboy bunnies alike. You’d probably have to be either or both to swing that price tag though.

ALDO “Brodigan” Ankle Strap Sandals
Thank you, ALDO, for bringing us a shoe both lovely and affordable. No, my friends, you will not be able to show off that red sole, but if it’s class you’re looking for, look no further. ALDO’s “Brodigan” pump is the versatile, cocktail pump you’ve been looking for minus the hefty price tag. *Ding Ding*. We have a winner! Also available in a great nude (“bone patent”) color.

My favorite Prada pieces are the kind that are classic for years to come, so this pair of wedges can slide right into the “for keeps” pile. Perfect for the working girl or the one on the go and available in 2 colors – or rather neutrals!

Prada should call ALDO and get their shoes back. Oh wait, those weren’t ripped right off the designer shelves? Obviously not, since we devote our days here to giving you the look for less! Prada’s peep toe wedges are I-DEN-TI-CAL (caps and dashes for emphasis) to the Aldo Kupiec wedges, with a price that will allow you to buy 15 pairs for the price of one.

I’ve been really loving Prada shoes as of late. Their footwear range for Spring and Fall 2009 was truly exceptional and just when I was starting to understand the appeal of Prada I was beyond disappointed to see lucite shoes return from fashion hell onto Prada’s Spring 2010 runway. Damn you, Miuccia Prada! I’m on a fashion rollercoaster with your fashion house. I do appreciate these studded t-strap sandals however also known as Ashley Olsen‘s studded obsession.
