Knockout Knockoffs?
7
 Nine West “Heech” |
 Balenciaga “Gladiator” |
A few days ago, I had asked everyone to identify which shoe was an original and which was a knockoff! And, here are the answers!
But, for under $100, would you give up on wearing one of these, just because they are knock offs?
 Exhibit 1-Balenciaga “Lego” |
 Exhibit 2-Steve Madden “Bukled” |
 Exhibit 3: Nine West “Olavera” |
 Exhibit 4: Gucci “Sevigny” |

I am not much of a fashionista but I thought Nine West was a good brand. So do they copy famous designers? Is it not worth to spend money on Nine West shoes and bags? I have bought couple and now I am confused.
Balenciaga Lego and Steve Madden buckled are both UGLY never mind how much or how little they cost. I wouldnt let even my corpse be seen in them.
Nice west was obviously a knockoff because a high end shoe would never have a different colored instep than the outside (Vamp) of the show, unless it was a real design element. Even so, I have to say Nine West does good knockoffs and they are a staple in my attire, cause the prices are great for a pretty decently made shoe.

Totally agree with Kiran above – Balenciaga Lego and Steve Madden buckled are both an eyesore – I mean do people actually WEAR these things? Hideous!!!
So guys tell me if Nine West shoes are stylish or not.
Meena,
Nine West is a good brand. Not all their designs are knockoffs.
Kiran and Manisha,
Weirdly, I actually like the Balenciaga.. It is colorful and edgy to look at..Would I wear em? hmm.. probably not..I think if you look you will find that Beyonce has worn the Balenciaga..
I like both Balenciaga Lego and Gladiator out of all, although I would prefer Gladiator in black.
I am contradicting most of your views, but if I could afford, I would actually wear the Balenciaga Lego even though it’s from last year. My only concern is the pain I may have to bear as I don’t wear heels often and especially not that high.
LOVEEE the balenciaga shoes, they’re hot if you can pull them off well.
