The moment I saw these heels by Proenza Schouler I was truly, madly, deeply in love. This is what I consider art & creativity! I adore everything about these shoes, especially the segmented heel which gives these lustworthy creations an architectural look. Pure genius!

Michael Antonio “Miller” Zip Ankle Booties
If you are looking for a more affordable version of the zippered Proenza Schouler booties, Michael Antonio has a pair of ankle boots that looks just like the ones above. I hear you saying: “What? Where’s the segmented heel?” Well, unfortunately, they – for some reason – omitted that part which is a shame because it’s the heel that makes those shoes stand out most to me.
My guess is that the construction of such a complicated heel would’ve probably resulted in a signifant raise in production costs, so in order to keep prices low, they decided to skip that part and simply replaced it with a standard heel. Too bad! The rest of the style however is pretty identical compared to the original booties, so if you have some extra room in your closet, feel free to indulge in these.

Gwen Stefani’s L.A.M.B. design team can be often held liable for a lot of my shoe obsessions. Look at the “Tammy” bootie pumps for example. They are so neat and fancy. The criss cross detail I like as well as the sexy zipper in the back and the stiletto heel will make my legs look a mile long. However, the price is a real turn-off.

Chinese Laundry “Love Me” Woven Heels
If you don’t want to spend $350+ on shoes, how about these Tammy knockoffs by Chinese Laundry? They retail for less than a third of the original’s price and come in either black, cognac or natural (my preferred color!).

Qupid Affair-19 Woven Bootie Pumps
These L.A.M.B. knockoffs by Qupid are my favorite in terms of price (on sale for 50% OFF!) and look (come closest to the originals). As you can see these bootie pumps are available in 3 different colors: black, white and brown.
