Louboutin Knock-offs

[thisgirlme3]

Madden's Lalu is an "homage" to the Bruges. It comes in red, black, brown, white and tan. The site says that it'll ship to stores on March 10th - I've heard they are expected to sell fast. You can pre-order your pair now at for $129 on www.stevemadden.com - I attached a pic of the Lalu in Red below.

I have a pair in white and black from jildorshoes.com. They have a size 8 left I believe. You're right, they sold fast. I think they got their shipment about 10 days ago. I've also heard some Nordstroms got shipments as well.

I agree - something about the curve of both the heel and the cutout of the upper are a little more graceful (not to mention a wee bit more attainable! )

 

[softgrey]

what colour do you guys like best?...

 

[susie_bubble]

I'm quite liking the tan patent ones....black leather is most do-able though.

These are actually much closer to the yoyo zeppa's than the brudges IMO with the open toe and the tiny little point. The stacked heel is of the brudges though. Kind of like a hybrid I guess.

I hate how it almost everything from steve madden is "inspired" by higher end shoes

The black patent is hot!

What did or does the bruges look like? Nevermind lol. I just reolized that the REAL thing is called Brudges... the peep toes?

^ Those are from the first season they did them, not they're doing them with stacked heel and platform.

If I'm gonna get Louboutin knock-offs, I'll probably get these ones from Office. Not too blatant a copy but still pretty nice - they come in this gorgeous mustard yellow colour too.

I agree, the Steven Lalo is closer to the YoYo Zeppa, but has touches of the Bruges as well. Here are pics of all three (first is mine, 2nd from Ebay

The high street is full of Louboutin know-offs now.

so for those of you who have them...
how's walking...
do you drive most places you go?..
cause i'm thinking that those would be really tough on the streets of nyc...

I drive to work, but am on my feet a lot of the day, and they aren't bad at all...easier because of the platform IMO.

 

[pucci_mama]

I like the black patent ones, which one's are you getting softgrey?

 

[susie_bubble]

I'm thinking these are the kind of 'have flats in handbag-just in case' kind of shoes. I have shoes which I can only wear when I KNOW I'm 100% getting a ride from someone or taking a cab - these would be those kind of shoes...

 

[pucci_mama]

True Susie, I always need a pair of flats in my bag when walking in high heels in London.

 

[Foxie-Pooh]

Hmm...the lalo looks better than the bruges in prettyshoegal's picture...I think they'll be fine on New York street...I see people wearing sky high heels all the time in the city

at first i liked the nude ones...

but now i'm thinking the blk patent look good...
the blk lthr isn't bad either...

still mulling it over....

**it's not the height of the heeel that concerns me...
it is the inflexibility of a platform...
one's foot cannot bend properly to take a step in a stiff platform...
so the effect is similar to walking on stilts...

but they look kinda cute, you know?......
i just don't think it would be bery cute if you can't walk properly in them...
