I've got shoe beef.
Let me preface this post by saying that I think Jeffrey Campbell is killing it. His shoes are often the biggest trending shoes out there and he obviously has a great eye. I practically live in my Litas and that's saying a lot. You guys KNOW about my shoe collection. haha
That being said, I do have beef with these cheesy blatant knockoffs. Knockoffs bug me sometimes, while other times I don't think it's that big of a deal. I get that people want designer inspired styles for less. The Litas are actually "interpretations" of an amazing designer shoe and like I said, I wear them all the time. These shoes however, really rub me the wrong way.
You can't take a shoe that is literally an icon and knock it off like this. It's super cheesy.

I don't like either one to be honest but you have to respect a classic. This is one of the most famous shoe designs in the world.
I also have beef with this shoe because the original is so amazing and these just look like bad orthopedic shoes. Yikes.

And finally this shoe. A cheesy knockoff of a really special shoe.

What do you guys think?? There's a fine line between interpreting and knocking off but these are crossing the line. Does it bother you? Or do you think that all is fair in shoes and fashion?
xox,
