Anyway, these don't have the same stitching at all.

It's when they are very specific and then knocked off that they look bad. For example: Pic 1 - Chloe Suzanna boots Pic 2 - Aldo knock off Scarlet on "Are these too much of a Marant ripoff?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-these-too-much-of-a-marant-ripoff#post-839550 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 08:13:53 +0000 Scarlet 839550@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Looks more like the Acne pistol than the dicker. But not too much. Would get it if you like it for what it is. Mia on "Are these too much of a Marant ripoff?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-these-too-much-of-a-marant-ripoff#post-839540 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 07:15:21 +0000 Mia 839540@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ They remind me more of the Acne not the Marant. I do not like "knockoffs" either but I don't think there is anything wrong with "inspired by" . If the boot fits wear it! Very cool looking. jayne on "Are these too much of a Marant ripoff?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-these-too-much-of-a-marant-ripoff#post-839524 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 06:23:12 +0000 jayne 839524@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I agree with RAE, the short bootie like this is prevalent now that I almost would go the other way and say the designers are finally catching on to the popular styles on the street. I won't be surprised to see a designer mustache shirt soon. rae on "Are these too much of a Marant ripoff?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-these-too-much-of-a-marant-ripoff#post-839503 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 05:59:37 +0000 rae 839503@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ The style is all over the place now. I don't think anyone would think, oh she's got knockoffs. catgirl on "Are these too much of a Marant ripoff?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-these-too-much-of-a-marant-ripoff#post-839459 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 04:32:07 +0000 catgirl 839459@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Great boots. What's the reason it matters? I think that's the key. My DV Joust booties are pretty clearly a rip-off of Acne boots, but I like them on their own and would not have considered the Acne boots at the price.

These are more rugged, have quite a bit more of a sole, higher heel and less of the cowboy thing going on. I really like these, they definitely stand on their own merit. cciele on "Are these too much of a Marant ripoff?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-these-too-much-of-a-marant-ripoff#post-839454 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 04:23:34 +0000 cciele 839454@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ In the end, most of fashion has some imitation involved. I would enjoy the shoe on its own merits. ironkurtin on "Are these too much of a Marant ripoff?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-these-too-much-of-a-marant-ripoff#post-839441 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 03:52:29 +0000 ironkurtin 839441@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ New booties by Ksubi! But I don't like wearing knockoffs, and I'm concerned these look a bit too much like the Isabel Marant dicker version. (You know, the ones that have been knocked off by Madewell and everyone else.) What do you think, am I safe? 1-3 are the Ksubis. 4 is a Marant (in suede)
