Found my shoes but they're out of budget...help!

labro · March 2014

I'm in love with these Michael Kors shoes I found on Zappos. They're exactly what I'm looking for but they're way outside what I'm willing to spend on ANY pair of shoes...$495 is just too much. I can handle anything up to say...$175 without feeling absolutely ridiculous but nearly $500 for a pair of shoes isn't doable. Can anyone help me find a similar pair? The style is Michael Kors Collection - Charlene. I love the zipperered back and the security the straps will give me. As long as heel height is under 4 inches I'm ok. I'm really trying to stick with white/ivory colored shoes. My bridesmaids are wearing burnt orange and I just don't see myself wearing a pair of burnt orange heels ever again. I've been looking at some gold shoes because I think it would fit well in to my mostly neutral fall color scheme but they're all too metallic and bright looking.

@msuprincess04 Thank you! I think the Ivanka Trump heels and the Truth or Dare by Madonna Hartz are my two favorites. I also found another pair on Zappos by Nina that are really pretty. It's so hard deciding. I think the Ivanka's and the Nina's are my top two because they both have a champagne/gold color to them.

I saw these and thought of this post:

I like the second Nina pair better than the pair you picked out FWIW, and that's with Michael Kors being one of my favorite brands.

No offense I think all the straps look a little strippery. And make sure you try on the Nina and wear them around because I got that brand for my brother's wedding and they hurt so badly, I had to take them off immediately after the ceremony.

Keep in mind the more straps in a shoe, the more surface area t get blisters, especially small straps. FWIW I, actually, like the Nina shoes more. They are gorgeous!

Another vote for the Nina's you posted. Hands down. Beautiful and elegant!

@jenna8984 If you have to say "no offense" as a preface to what you're saying...it might be offensive. Either way...good point on the Nina's. I was concerned about the same thing...a lot of their shoes look like they might be uncomfortable/cheap (even though $90 for shoes isn't cheap IMO) and I was a little concerned about the heel height.

@everyone else! Thanks! I ended up buying these ones from Lord and Taylor that @msuprincess04 found. They reminded me of the Nina's but with a slightly slower heel (3.5 inches) and I think they're a bit better quality. I'll wear them around the house some to check for blister points but usually Mary Jane and pump style shoes tend to give me blisters over strappier sandals so I'm hoping I'll be fine. If they don't work out I think the Nina's will be my fallback. So disappointed in DSW over the last couple months. They are usually my go to for all my shoes and I haven't been able to find anything remotely acceptable with them lately!
