These shoes … let’s call it love at first sight. Or: unrequited love at first sight, since they’re Jimmy Choos, and we are not interested (less interested) in selling our blood to buy wedges. These are, for the record, suede Jimmy Choos wedges, $455. (The dress, since we love it equally, is Miu Miu—but not in stock; click on the “Miu Miu top” link on this page and you can sign up for notification when it shows up.)

Since tonight will not be the night we spend almost $500 on shoes, we went looking for some suitable substitutes—and these are what we found.

We love the soft green color of these—officially “mint”—wedges from Topshop. Waltz T-Bar espadrilles, $135

These Steve Maddens were the ones that came closest to the Jimmy Choos—you know, without really coming close at all, but sort of. Steve Madden Glistenns, $89

Well, $21.80, which is $1.80 more than we promised. Basic, basic, basic, which is sometimes all we require from our shoes. Wink espadrilles, $21.80

And we close with these Anthropologie wedges in honor of tonight’s season premiere of Man Shops Globe—we know not everyone’s a fan, but we quite like it. City Park espadrilles, $160
