Oh Deer's Louboutin Style Shoeboots

It's time for a game of spot the Louboutin! It's getting increasingly difficult now brands are latching onto the idea of a red sole. On the left are the Christian Louboutin shoeboots, so popular with 'slebs and fashionistas that the black is already hard to come by, and the taupe will set you back $645. Meanwhile Oh...Deer! have bought out their version of the shoe that'll have us all saying "I can't believe I wore that!" in six month's time for a slightly cheaper $140 at Intuition. Am I the only one who thinks they're a bit ugly?

How can people get so riled up about whether or not one coughs up the dough for a pair of genuine Louby's or picks up a designer-inspired pair on the high street. It's surely a personal choice and I don't think Mr. Louboutin will go hungry without my hard earned cash to line his pocket.

I'd much rather have the real mccoy from a discounted outlet like eBay than pay the full whack or go for a knock off in a style I like. What I wouldn't do is pay for a designer item that I knew to be a fake. What's the point in that? The high street items don't pretend to be the real thing and if there was nothing there to take my fancy, there are plenty of fresh young designers out there to discover that don't charge an arm and a leg for a signature sole or flash logo.

Personally, I buy designer shoes because I am a firm believer in "You get what you pay for." when it comes to quality. I also seem to take much better care of the shoes a spend a small fortune on. However, because I do spend so much on my shoes, (although I do sometimes get them on sale) I usually make sure to buy something in a classic style rather than trendy. I would hate to spend $2000.00 on a pair of boots that would only be in style for 1 season. Since Im assuming that we all make our own money, it is up to each of us how we choose to spend it.

Just another view on designer vs. knockoff.

Dear CC, as I mentioned I am writing from Italy, english is surely not my first language. It is only one of 7 that I speak.

Besides that, I know very well what knock-off means. Still, you just go on repeating this theory of yours, I am not going to waste more time trying to explain what seems obvious to me: there are actually people in the world that like the shape but are not idiots enough to make a designer richer than he already is.

So, enjoy your "wannabies" opinions and try searching in a dictionary "compromise". Then perhaps you will learn why people who enjoy the shape of an object find a way to pay it less.
