Cheap vs. Chic: Aldo take on Givenchy

aldo-givenchy2.jpgWhen I spotted Aldo's 'Guerette' sandal (right) in their shop window this weekend, I knew I'd seen it somewhere before: somewhere very much like the Givenchy catwalk, in fact, as the shoes share a lot in common with a style seen in the designer brand's A/W 09 collection.

Aldo's 'homage' has some superficial design variations (i.e. more straps) than the original, but is as close to the look as you can get without being a straight copy. As I loved the Givenchy shoes, I decided to give Aldo's version a try yesterday and was an instant fan: the shoes fit snugly and comfortably and have a pleasing 'weight' to them. So if you can't afford Givenchy, this would be my tip for an on-trend alternative. Guerette at Aldo: £90.

Are they (Aldo's version) comfortable to walk in? The heels are so high but the stacked platform on the front is quite small, which makes me think these shoes might be painful to walk/stand in over a longish period of time.
