They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, but sometimes I think its simple laziness. Shoe maestro Christian Louboutin is regularly knocked-off with lower price versions of his fabulous shoes, but the truth is not everyone can afford to spend $800+ on the pair of shoes. What’s a cash strapped girl to do?

I saw this photo of Anne Michelle’s Addiction 55 Belted and Buckled Bootie and did a triple take because at first glance I thought they were Christian Louboutin’s Nitoinimoi Bandage Ankle Boots. Of course, up close you can see the quality is not even close, and the Anne Michelle booties aren’t even leather, but if you’re looking for style at a really affordable price then here’s your option.

The Anne Michelle booties retail for $44, versus $1,195 for the Louboutin boots.
