I have previously written about these platform wedges by Cynthia Vincent because a few months ago people were frequently mailing requests and kept asking where they could buy the cute gladiator wedges as famously flaunted by Vanessa Hudgens. These shoes sold out like hot cakes the first time round, but are now available again, so if you’re already thinking about enhancing your spring/summer wardrobe, this is your chance to grab a pair of these kickass heels everyone is gonna envy you for.

Express Multi-Buckle Wedge Sandals
UPDATE (03/14/2011): After more than one year I found another great Luella alternative by Express. Just in time for spring and available in either cognac as shown below or ivory.

Jessica Simpson “Adreana” Wedges
UPDATE (12/29/2009): Jessica Simpson’s “Adreana” wedges are now available in a beautiful tan version at Zappos and Endless which comes pretty close to Vanessa’s version (see picture below).
When I saw these platform wedges by Jessica Simpson they instantly reminded me of the Cynthia Vincent wedges. They miss 2 buckles on the lower straps, but everything else looks almost identical. Available in tan (pictured), fudge or black.

Please if you find more alternatives, let us know!! I’m just dying for that same color
I have the JS version (am wearing them right now!) and I gotta say, they’re pretty comfortable and EVERYONE has commented on them.
They’re not a bad alternative and I have been unable to find a cheaper one! I’ve been looking too
Annie, glad you hear to enjoy the JS knockoffs. They look really neat though not nearly as nice as the originals, of course.
The steve madden trackks kind of look like these also i have them in black but the also have them in cognac
I have these amazingly comfortable wedges from last year and DEFINITELT will be wearing them again this S/S season!!!
If you can find these, BUY THEM in both colors!!!
