I also like the idea of a pointy toe - a win win, don't you agree?&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/good-substitute-for-the-pradas#post-917730 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 18:56:38 +0000 rachylou 917730@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Omigosh! Yes! Those are an excellent "sensible chic" version!<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/good-substitute-for-the-pradas#post-917619 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 17:55:09 +0000 Thistle 917619@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ You are right, or course.&nbsp; They are not a good substitute. I need to put the Pradas out of mind and look for something else to pair with my dresses and skirts. Something with a pointy toe! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/good-substitute-for-the-pradas#post-917615 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 17:44:37 +0000 missvee 917615@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok, just snooping on the Nordies site. The Jimmy Choo Moore pump is similar but without the crystal detail. It's a *bit* cheaper. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/good-substitute-for-the-pradas#post-917601 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 17:19:47 +0000 Glory 917601@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I think it is worth ordering them and trying them in your wardrobe.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/good-substitute-for-the-pradas#post-917599 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 17:15:59 +0000 missvee 917599@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd say that the SEs are a possible, but the toe area is very plain. You could order them just to see how they fit. But I do think you should order the Pradas as well, provided you get free shipping and returns. You have fallen hard for them and it wouldn't hurt to try them on. Who knows, they might be an awful fit for you. I remember coveting some Ferragamos a few years ago, but when i finally worked up the nerve to try them, they didn't fit at all. I was so relieved </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/good-substitute-for-the-pradas#post-917597 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 17:14:12 +0000 unfrumped 917597@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Agree--keep looking, but don't despair. <br />The ties may not be as bad as bows, but I have 2 pairs of flats with bows (not very obtrusive, even) and I find I don't wear them because whenever I put them on I think twee, girlie. So I've resolved, no bows or dangles. That's just me and YMMV. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/good-substitute-for-the-pradas#post-917594 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 17:10:22 +0000 Gaylene 917594@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I'm a bit weird about trying to find imitations of items that I've fallen for but decided were too expensive, so take my opinion with a big grain of salt.<br /><br />The Pradas are beautiful, but the SE, to my eye, is a rather ordinary black shoe ramped up a bit with a contrasting heel. The details in the Prada shoe make the original design cohesive, but the lack of those details in the SE makes the contrasting heel seem a bit out of place. <br /><br />Good design can be found at all price points, so, if Prada is beyond my budget, I'd rather look for a different shoe at a lower price point that gave me the same thrill as the Pradas.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/good-substitute-for-the-pradas#post-917571 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 16:27:13 +0000 merwoman 917571@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Tough question Thistle. Love the gold heels on both - but I wasn't enamoured with the flat gold buckle on the Prada -nor am I fan of the black ties on the SEs.<br />But that's my esthetic (which is still developing!), and I am significantly older than you.&nbsp;What are you planning to wear them with? https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/good-substitute-for-the-pradas#post-917443 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 14:26:06 +0000 Thistle 917443@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Yeah, I know, "substitute for Pradas" there is none. *sigh*&nbsp; Note to self, be careful doing a general search at Nordies!!&nbsp; <br /><br />But, are these close do you think? Or am I reaching here?<br /><br /><a href="http://www.zappos.com/sam-edelman-natalie-black" rel="nofollow">http://www.zappos.com/sam-edelman-natalie-black</a><br /><br /><a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/prada-crystal-metal-buckle-pump/3489604?origin=wishlist" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/pr.....n=wishlist</a>
