1. Sam Edelman - Petty

I have been eyeing this bootie all year.  It's pretty popular, with a lot of good reviews.  I tried it on in store and it's pretty true to size for me, but some say they had to size down.  It's retailed at $139.95.  I haven't been able to find a good sale in my size.  After much thought, I found and ordered a dupe. 

This Crown Vintage - Tabitha bootie from DSW looks very similiar to it.  I like that the heel is a contrasting brown color (The older version of Sam Edelman black leather also had a brown heel, their current version is black.  But their black suede does have the brown heel and sole this season).  The Crown Vintage is retailed at $69.95, but with some DSW rewards and Columbus Day promo code, I technically got it for $39.99 (more or less, because I also ordered flats for $30.  Total for both shoes was only $50!).  So I am definitely paying significantly less than the Sam Edelman.  Although this Crown Vintage looks similiar, I don't think quality is as nice.  I think the bootie stops a little higher so I feel it hit the front of my foot and the leather is stiffer, I can see the crease lines form once I start wearing it out.
