I was at
Wet Seal and I wanted to see if they had any affordable wedges. I love wearing wedges because it gives you height, comfort, and edge. Anyway, they don't have any good wedges, but I stumbled upon a strappy heel that was on sale for
$15.00 (originally $36.50). Yes, that is a real deal if you like your heels embellished with fake stones. And then, I thought, those shoes look really similar to the ones I've seen from Balmain.
Lo and behold, they are! (And these knockoffs are really affordable). They aren't bad looking and the
Wet Seal's "Jeweled Strappy Heel" pair is slightly different because of the platform sole but both shoes have 4.5" heels. The
Balmain's "Crystal Embellished Studded Sandals" pair has crystals on the straps while the Wet Seal...well I'm sure you know it's fake stones. Nonetheless, it's still a great buy... from $2,300 to $15.00. Can't really beat that, it's almost like getting a pair of free shoes.
Do you like the knock-offs? Where is the best place to buy low-priced trendy heels?

Those are a bit too.... excessive.
Kelly Clarkson ?...
and ew.
I'm not big into having "diamonds" on my feet.
Hm, cute.
If I liked open toe shoes I'd go for 'em.
Too much embellishment for my taste...
If anyone is dying for Heels, they need new priorities.
hmm i dont realy like the shoes but LOL i love wet seal. :D
Wow, they look extremely similar. :)
I love those!
Anytime I see heels like this, I always think they belong on like.. a goth hooker or something. I'm not hatin', just saying that's what they always remind me of.
But, I don't like that much embellishment OR open toed shoes, so, I def wouldn't die for these. Though I will admit that for knock offs, that a fanfuckingtastic price
LOL. erms i like the original one better
I can't believe companies can't copyright their design like ideas because to me it's like losing dollars.
I think theyre really cute. Good find!
i've had a pair of wet seal flats for 2-3 months, and they're already broken/worn out.
i would really recommend you just invest in a slightly better brand of shoes. :\
I like them
imitators never look nice. >.<
I think they're ugly but if they were my kinda thing I'd take them over the real things any day.
Pretty good-looking knock-off, but knowing Wet Seal's quality, I could imagine many of the stones falling out after a couple of wears. But good eye!
they seem too busy for me . but none the less - a great deal !
Those are amazing.
i would definitely buy the knock off becasue even if they were great quality and broke after a few wears i wouldn't be heart broke.. not many people can shell out 200 yet alone 2300 bucks for a pair of shoes they are only going to wear on a few special occasions, if i actually splurged on the real deal id be wearing those all day every day
subtract the diamonds and they look like a pair of heels that I have!
they look identical - the lighting makes the original look more appealing, the knock off is too dark.
HOT!!
I don't like them! Especially the part that goes around the ankle.
those are too bedazzled for me, but i love strappy heels. wish i had a good pair...
