a knock off tribute

so i was running some errands in the city today when i stumbled across a shoe store that had a massive 'closing down' sign and '$5 shoes' sign. so i walked in, as one would when faced with shoes for $5. at first it was a little disappointing as the $5 shoes were plastic and very unfortunate looking, but at the very back of the store there was a wall of ysl tribute sandal copies.

now i would usually steer clear of blatant designer copies, but when it comes to shoes i just don't see the point of paying hundreds & thousands of dollars for something that gets scuffed on the ground. not to mention that they are usually not very comfortable and the price per wear is terrible - i've learnt my lesson from the dior shoes i've bought and worn for literally less than 5 hours.

so here they are in all it's fake glory;
