Has anyone seen something similar for (a lot) less?
What I like about these is that they look more like normal shoes than booties. I also loooooooooooooove the patent grey. I just don't want (can't) spend $485. Any cheaper options?
I checked a lot of sites and can't really find anything very close. I'm not sure if you're willing to consider something that is more of an Oxford or Oxford-inspired shoe, but here are some options:
Dolce Vita, $127 (you could try switching the laces for a ribbon)
Betsy Johnson, $175 on Zappos, less on Overstock & Smart Bargains
Victoria's Secret, $150
I think these Jessica Simpson shoes from DSW might come in gray but I can't tell if it's patent or suede.
