Knockoff Ninja #28 - UNIF "Hellbound"




UNIF "Hellbound" in Black available at Tilted Sole ($225.00), Miss KL ($242.00) Solestruck ($244.95), Nasty Gal ($245.00)


Black Lace Chunky Heel Ankle Boot in Black/Black available at SammyDress ($23.95), Ebay ($52.77)


Chic Nubuck Lace Up Chunky Heel Booties in Black available at SammyDress ($35.70), Ebay ($52.77), Aliexpress ($52.99)

WHOA. WHOOOOOAAAA. These are both amazing! It's too bad I'm so wary of buying shoes overseas because the risk of the shoe not running true to size is too great, and sending them back would be a NIGHTMARE! If these weren't overseas, I'd probably have had them by last week. And the first dupes! All the goodness of the Hellbound, PLUS a sexy lace overlay? Man, I need these!

The only thing that sucks about these boots and asian apparel sites in general is that shoe sizes always seem to stop at 8. Lucky for me, I'm an 8, but it's super unfair for the majority of the people I know :c So, you've been warned about that.

I've been sitting on these guys for weeks, waiting patiently for a review that indicates how these fit and how comfortable they are, but still, nothing :c Come on, small-footed friends! Be my guinea pigs, hahaha!

What do you think? Are these awesome, or are they awesome?!

UPDATE: I did end up buying these, and they run pretty true to size, but a tad on the tight side. That could also be because my feet are slightly wide. But MAN, are they comfy! If you've been thinking about getting these, go for it! The quality isn't amazing, but I still recommend 'em!

Knockoff Ninja #27 - Jeffrey Campbell "Homg Stud"




Jeffrey Campbell "Homg Stud" in Black Suede available at Solestruck ($134.95), Jildor Shoes ($135.00)



?? "Taylor-01" in Black available at UrbanOG ($37.20)

What an awesome dupe! I can only spot three differences: the rubber sole is a bit shinier on the UrbanOG shoe, the upper material is faux leather instead of suede, and the studs aren't as even. A big deal? Hell no. I think these are fabulous. Love this little nod to club kid culture! They're also available in Taupe Suede with Rose Gold studs, which are just as good!
