So you have your eye on those Tall Boots by Ecco, but you cannot afford the steep price ticket? Saw a bear of $458 fringed boots by Joie Dj vu you desperately desire?

What’s stopping you from finding the precise style you crave in a much more budget-friendly brand that may fill the void nicely? Here are 1 or 2 tips on where to find great quality footwear that’s equivalent to the top brands, at costs that won’t break the bank.

First, let’s find something analogous to those tall Ecco boots. You can check out Smart Bargains for two Franco Sarto stretch boots with a really similar style at around sixty dollars. After you are at that site, scout around for a lot of great deals on top of the range, but not high priced shoes and boots, as we also spotted masses of the latest fall trends at greatly reduced prices by manufacturers like Steve Madden, BCBG, and London fog. Perfect twins to those fringed flat boots can be discovered at Shepler’s. Manufactured by Minnetonka, these will only set you back $86. While you are at Shepler’s site, check out all of the other great moccasin and western styles, many beginning at only $49.

Comfortablefoot has an amazing pair of Michael Kors over the knee slouch boots for an astronomic price of $899. But follow this link to the unending Shoes and you will find a similarly stylish pair of Michael Antonio suede slouch boots for a mere $63.00.

At Comfortablefoot, you will find an awesome pair of Taryn Rose wedge heel sandals that are handmade in Italy. You can, instead, find some extraordinarily similar wedge sandals by BCBG at Overstock.com for rather less than $54.

Zappo’s sells many designer brands, and you may find a pair of Missoni GM 41 Sweater top boots there for $480. Or you can check out a particularly trendy knockoff pair by Guess at never-ending Shoes for slightly under $77.00 naturally, no article about cheap shoes would be completed without discussing Payless Shoe Source, so also have a look at the Alice Olivia Sweater Wedge Boot.

The point of all of the above comparisons is that for every expensive design pair of trainers and boots on the market, there’s almost always a couple of quite similar, yet much more inexpensive shoes or boots available that may serve you simply too. The trick is knowing the proper way to find those comparable items. One easy way: When you find two shoes that you like but can not afford or do not want to pay the designer price, perform a search for similar items on Google. Say, you find a grand pair of stacked heel, knee high boots, but they are definitely a dear brand- search precisely that- stacked heel knee high boots. BTW, Google returned over 39,000 sites for this search, with boots starting at $28. I found in the first few sites a decent number of acceptable boots for only $60. The beauty is that you can check out quickly all of the similar styles and decide how much you are willing to pay for fashion. You will doubtlessly run across some amazing sites with nice looking shoes and boots when you do this sort of search-don’t forget to bookmark them for next time!
