Preview Prada Fall 2009 Shoes

The Prada Pre-Fall collection has arrived at Bergdorf Goodman. While Prada will forever be in our heart, their shoe collection can be hit or miss from season to season and we never quite know what to expect. The collection is looking nice for Fall, yet it's definitely more than a little Louboutin-esque.

The signature piece of the Fall 2009 collection is a towering 4.5" platform peep-toe mary jane heel with 5 buckle straps. While it certainly has the wow factor and will no doubt be popular,  it all looks a little too familiar. It screams Christian Louboutin - a mash up of his classic Yoyo Zeppa and the recent Lillian Triple Buckle Pumps - but lacks originality. What can I say, I love Christian Louboutin, so most things that have been well crafted and resemble his bold style, generally win my approval.

Prada's implementation of a zip up side along the interior ankle rather than having to buckle each of the 5 straps individually is impressive. The craftsmanship, curves, and lines of Prada are also quietly evident in these Louboutin lookalikes. So why do we love these lookalikes from Prada? Prada tend to cut their shoes very full and true to size for an average foot, whereas Louboutin are generally cut very narrow. These Prada heels are perfect for the girl that loves the look of Louboutins, but the comfort, fit, and pricetag of Prada. While they don't include that infamous red sole, you will save hundreds of dollars and still have a great pair of designer shoes.

It's rare to find a classic 110mm high heel pump from Chanel that isn't over the top or easily dated, however, this beautiul peep-toe is practically perfect for any occasion, now and for decades to come. The upper is made of black patent leather with a peep-toe and it is detailed with the interlocking CC Chanel Logo on the heel in gold. The silhouette may not be what's walking down every runway, but like Chanel, classic is always chic. These would be a great investment piece for someone on a budget looking to add a versatile pair of fabulous shoes to their shoe closet.
