Urban Outfitters Louboutin Style Espadrilles

These ribbon espadrilles from Urban Outfitters are a pretty good knock off of the popular Christian Louboutin sandals of yore. They also come in red, but I think the black ones look chicer. The fact that they're only $38 is most evident in the woven jute on the wedge - it's a little too clean, and doesn't have the natural color variation the  Louboutins have. But the ribbon detail looks spot on in this picture. I was confused by the Louboutins from the start - women hardly flock to Louboutin because of his practical basics, you know? Basically - I wouldn't shell out the cash for the Louboutins, but in Urban Outfitters, I could be tempted.
