If you’re looking for a sexy pair of black high heels, these Sergio Rossi zip back sandals might be what you’re looking for. The criss cross straps add interest while the zipper that goes all the way down to the heel will grant you some “Ooooh!” and “Aaaah!” moments from fellow shoe aficionados.

Every second shoe style from Jessica Simpson‘s shoe line is basically a knockoff. The “Deluth” pump is no exception. The heel might be thicker, but other than that they look almost like the Sergio Rossi back zip sandals.

Real vs. Steal – Maison Martin Margiela Covered Heel Wedge Booties

UPDATE: This post has been updated on February 28, 2010. Scroll down to see the new adds.

The Spring 2008 wedge heel booties by Maison Martin Margiela below reminded me of legwarmers when I first saw them. I would have never thought they’d look so cute when put on until I saw Rachel Bilson flaunting her nude pair.

Ash Opium Wedge Ankle Booties

If you live in the UK (or Europe) and want to get your Maison Martin Margiela fix 4 less, try these ankle boots by Ash. Yes, they vary slightly as the ankle boot is higher and open in the back, but they’re still a good alternative compared to the originals. Currently on sale for £75 (£135).

Ash “Soho” Collared Sandals

Turns out Ash has not only one but two Margiela knockoff versions on the market. The “Soho” sandals look more like the real deal, but are only available in a size 38 (US 8).

Nine West “Palomino” Sandals

If you are looking for the same style without the hefty price tag, these t-strap peep-toes by Nine West are a great alternative if you want Louboutin 4 less. The heel on these is not as high and they don’t have the double platform, but the overall look of these shoes is almost identical compared to the real deal. They retail for $89 which is quite affordable and come in a multitude of colors including black, brown and purple suede as well as black and brown leather.
