I am absolutely obsessed with these patent leather Christian Louboutin platform pumps. They are so gorgeous! I love everything about them – the shiny patent leather, the pitch black color, the mega high platform and the resulting height enhancement. PERFECTION! I sure am not the only one who fell for these lustworthy pumps as these heels sold like hot cakes when they hit the shelves a few months ago.

Bebe “Bailey” Patent Leather Pumps

UPDATE (01/21/2010): These Bebe platform also don’t match the Louboutin color, but the shape is almost identical and I just love a good shiny pump.

ALDO “Destime” Platform Pumps

UPDATE (12/18/2009): I know these ALDO pumps don’t really match the shiny patent version of the Louboutins, but the shape is so similar that I had to feature them. Who doesn’t need a pair of red pumps anyway? J’Adore!

Joan & David “Flipp” Platform Pumps

If you are willing to spend some cash to get a similar style, these patent platform pumps by Joan & David are a great alternative if you can’t afford the real deal. The platform is not as high as on the original, but overall they still look very similar. If you prefer a different color, the pumps are also available in various other colors & finishes.

BCBGeneration “Tinas” Platform Pumps

If your shopping budget does not allow for a pricey shoe splurge, you might want to try these Louboutin inspired platform pumps by BCBGeneration instead. They cost $60 only which makes them 2/3 cheaper than the above mentioned knockoff and you’ll save more than $700 compared to the real Louboutin pumps. It’s not a perfect match and the platform is even more watered down than on the first pair, but overall they are still a great option if you are lusting for the Louboutin look 4 less.

Finally! I’ve gotta tell you guys, I have been anxiously awaiting the “knock-off” version of the Alexander Wang Alla wedges for months now and judging from the amount of emails we’ve received on this shoe, I’m not the only one. These super cute wedges are not only super pricey but also super sold out. I initially saw them on Khloe Kardashian (the leopard version) and it was love at first sight. Since then I’ve been both stalking them on eBay (totally fruitless) and looking for “steal” versions (also completely pointless)…

UPDATE (08/22/2011): Found yet another Alla look-a-like which features a ruched look. This one’s coming from Vince Camuto and is available in either black or walnut brown.

Bebe “Alexa” Wedge Sandals

UPDATE (12/16/2010): Bebe has another fantastic yet budget-friendly Alla alternative. Available in either black as shown below or leopard print (very reminiscent of Alexander Wang’s infamous Alla leopard wedges).

Joan & David “Opal” Wedge Booties

Well our patience seems to have paid off. Joan & David‘s “Opal” Wedge Booties are not the cheapest steal we’ve ever featured, but gosh, they’re good, aren’t they? In all the most important ways, these booties are an awesome knockoff of the Allas. Beautiful shape, rich color, peep-toe… half the price… now all we need is a leopard version. For now though, I’ll take the black leather or black suede.
