Remember the gorgeous red ruffle-front 'Dillian' Louboutin pumps worn by Britney Spears in the video for 'If You Seek Amy'? Well, I have no idea how I missed these, but it seems ASOS did a pretty good copy! It was probably a good thing I did miss them though, since they're now on sale! Okay, so they aren't exactly the same..they don't have the nice chunky platform toe, and they only come in this silver colour, but meh, lets not nitpick
If you like them they're £32 down from £45 at ASOS, a mere snip compared to the $1695 tag attached to the originals.

Topshop really aren't letting the Louis Vuitton 'Spicy' sandal love die, are they? The high street really make the most of a trend before we get bored of it - which is good for us because then we get lots of nice designer-alike shoes!
With the same coloured snakeskin (effect) and beads, the 'Levi' Strippy Tribal Sandal, bears more then a passing resemblance to the 'Primal' voodoo sandals - and the 'Fatal' Beaded Sandals after that - originally inspired by the 'Spicy'.
Are you keeping up? Good.
Made from leather, these come in two colourways; this rather nice black and purple, and red. If you want, they're £70.

There's something very Marni-esque about these patent strap platforms by Carvela - and of course, when I say that, I mean for that to be a Very Good Thing (you only have to look at Camille's Marni wedges on Childhood Flames to see what I'm talking about).
Supremely versatile for the warmer months, you'll be able to wear them with everything from slouchy sweats a la Camille, to your dressier moments in a summer frock and everything in between (namely jeans). They're also a darn sight cheaper than a Marni version - especially right now, as they're on sale for £66 at ASOS!

Still using Louis Vuittons' 'Spicy' heels as 'inspiration', Topshop have just released these flat Fatal Beaded Sandals just in time for summer *stubbornly ignores rain pounding on windows*. Still incorporating the safari-style colours and materials like feathers and beads, this altogether more wearable version is £40 and available in turquoise, green and off-white. [Steph Powell]

We have brought you Balmain's original spring '09 hits - the crystal embellished sandals and of course, Zara's and ALDO's versions.
Now, Steve Madden has jumped on the bandwagon with their own sparkly variation.
These "Brigght" rhinestone studded sandals include all the Balmain-esque traits, e.g. an ankle strap and lots of bling. They're priced at $129.95 - will they tempt you?

Just last week, Kim spied one Victoria Beckham wearing the Louis Vuitton 'Spicy' sandals (which everyone went ga-ga over during the Spring/Summer 08 outing at Paris Fashion Week) and had the inside word Topshop were about to release their own version of the tribal-influenced heels.
Well, folks, they are hee-eere. While not quite the £2,040 beauties sported by Posh, the 'Primal' voodoo sandal channels the same leather tassels, beading and exotic skins (faux in this case, of course) of the Vuittons and are available in two colourways - green and red. They're £120 from Topshop.

On the left, Christian Louboutin's 'Deva' boots, which you may remember us naming Ugly Shoe of the Week earlier this year. On the right, meanwhile, Dune's 'Zinc' boots. Notice any similarities? Well, quite a few, actually, and as surprised as I am to see that someone actually wanted to make a budget version of these, if you love this style, they're definitely more affordable than the Louboutins, at £110.
