Giuseppe Zanotti vs
Pour La Victoire It's still warm and sunny in NYC and the multi-straps are hot as ever so here are two magnificent ankle cuff sandals to compare. The first, a Giuseppe Zanotti creation complete with studs and 4 inc heel comes in at a cool $895 at Barneys, it's also available in a taupe color that is not so aggressive as the black. The look-a-like here is from Pour La Victoire in a natural color, for those who prefer a more subtle 4 inch heel with multiple ankle-straps. This beauty will cost you about $115 and comes in several other colors including black. The Summer is still young so get out there and enjoy your sandals while you still can. |

Prada vs
Aerosoles Prepare yourself for the Fall with a stylish pair of riding boots like these two from Prada and Aerosoles (see more riding boots on the Get Your Kicks pg). Both of the boots shown here have ankle and top buckles to secure the fit. The short heel is standard on most riding boots but the quality of the leather is very different. The Prada boots iare made of a supple leather and currently go for $680 while the Aerosole boots are a synthetic leather but are only $119. |

Jean-Michael Cazabat vs
Charles David We love both of these ruched peep-toe booties with a vintage flare. The Charles David booties have a covered heel and side zipper while the Cazabat shoes have a wooden heel and back zipper. These would look great with a sexy pair of skinny jeans. The Jean-Michael Cazabat booties are $695 and the Charles by Charles David booties go for only $124!!! |

Jimmy Choo vs
Nine West There's no substitution for the real Jimmy Choo shoes but some of us can't afford $700 shoes so we settle for look-a-likes that dazzle. These Nine West "Sheik" ankle strap sandals look like the Jimmy Choo "Seattle" sandals worn by Isla Fisher to the London premier of Confessions of a Shopaholic. Isla's look is great, about $800 great, but some of use have to pay rent so look almost as good in these Nine West sandals for only $80. |

Coach vs
Steve Madden Get ready for our favorite Fall fashion trend, the fold over bootie. These will be everywhere this coming season. It's easy to see why the unique fold over design is so popular. These two boots are a little different but it just goes to show how the same concept can end with two different designs. The Coach "Gene Boot" is classic Coach with the designer buckle while the Steve Madden boot is taller and has a roughed design. The Coach boots are $350 and the Steve Madden retails for $150. |
