LUXE TO LESS: shoes.

I'm sure it's pretty clear by now I have an obsession with shoes, so it's no surprise I was eventually to do a LUXE TO LESS edition on shoes.

I have a lot of shoes, but when I think about my collection there is nothing in there that was insanely expensive. I find that I thrash my shoes quite a bit, so I'd feel sick wearing anything too expensive. Which is why I love some of the 'less' options shown today. I do admit though, you can pick the difference in quality a mile off - but it's not a bad trade off.

To be honest, I do have a problem with the 'less' options blatantly ripping off the design though. In a lot of instances a re-interpretation is produced which is more palatable.

What is your take on an exact copy for a fraction of the price?
