Zip It
I was cruising my favorite fashion blogs this morning when I happened upon these Bolling Zipper Sandals from Aldo featured on Nitrolicious. Now Wendy usually uncovers cool stuff, but I actually stopped and stared for a while when I saw these.
Fashionistas will most likely have one of 2 reactions:
1. Isn’t this kind of reminiscent of Christian Louboutin zipper sandals from a few seasons back?
2. The zipper trend is in this summer, I love I love!
Truthfully, the second we saw this picture, I immediately thought of the Louboutins but the shocker is, I actually like the style of the Aldo shoes better. Not to mention, waaay more wallet friendly at $110. They are not quite so annoyingly similar that I’d automatically peg it as a knockoff and Aldo did unveil these a few seasons after Louboutin. The only beef I have is that the material is entirely synthetic (which I kind of hate) but you can’t beat that price for that style.

I like these as well. But I already have the Michael Kors Berkley sandals, which are similar. I’d highly recommend them–they’re so comfy! And I saw them on sale at Nordstroms this weekend, which was slightly annoying since I paid full price. But they were still affordable at least.
These shoes are hot. i am a fan of the zipper trend and the price isn’t bad. I actually have a friend that works at Aldo. I guess I’ll be stopping by the store. :)
Entirely synthetic is actually nice for those of us vegetarians and vegans who don’t want to wear what we don’t eat. There aren’t always a lot of shoe options for animal loving fashionistas!
@LJ- great point about vegan shoes! I only thought of it as not being as comfy as leather shoes but you are absolutely right about having options for vegans. I always lust after Stella McCartney shoes but can’t splurge for them since they are synthetic and the high price point. This is so much more affordable, I think I might just get it!
I like the Aldo ones better too- and I agree, even though $110 is comparatively cheap to what real Louboutins would be, for $110, you should still be getting some real leather.
