I know summer is almost over when I find myself starting to look for shoes to wear in the fall. These studded ankle booties called “Otway” by Isabel Marant have been on my wish list for months now, but as with most of the things on my wish list, they are way out of my budget let alone the fact that they aren’t even out yet.

Rosegold “Halle” Studded Ankle Boots

UPDATE (10/05/2009): Look at this knockoff version by Rosegold and try to spot the difference between this one and the Isabel Marant boots. These booties are as close as you can get to the original.However, a knockoff this great comes at a price: $285. Yup, that’s pretty expensive, but probably still at least a few hundred dollars cheaper than the original. If you have the cash, why not spend it on these awesome knockoffs?

Jeffrey Campbell “Us” Studded Ankle Boots

Kudos to Jeffrey Campbell for always finding the right shoes to knock-off. Someone over there is doing his/her homework. Their “Us” studded booties are obviously a tribute to Isabel Marant’s booties. I just wish the heel would look more like the original. Available in black suede or black leather.

Steve Madden “BLITZI” Ankle Boots

Steve Madden seems to have sniffed a trend here as well and decided to make their own interpretation of the ankle booties. The heel of their booties is higher and brown instead of black, but everything else is pretty much identical. Comes also in brown suede.

Have you already started shopping for fall already? Crazy how fast summer went by, huh? As much as I love summer and all the nice features attached to it (e.g. warm weather, beach days & floaty summer dresses) I am just as much looking forward to fall. I love autumn weather, cozying up in warm wool coats and looking très chic in suede boots. The Christian Louboutin boots below would be a great addition to my shoe closet, but paying more than 1k for shoes does not really fit in my budget.

Michael Antonio “Macey” Ankle Booties

These ankle booties by Michael Antonio instantly reminded me of the Louboutin ankle boots though the buckle on these does vary slightly. The shape and overall look however is clearly inspired by the Loubies. Best thing about these booties here is that they are very budget-friendly at $54.95 and they come in 5 different colors including black leather (shown below), black suede, red suede, grey suede (my favorite!) and tan suede. If you haven’t invested in a good pair of shoes suitable for autumn weather, you might consider buying these.
