Jenni Kayne flats are those shoes you have seen on it girls and thought man I want a pair. But at $450 a pop (more for other styles) they are more of an investment shoe as opposed to a buy on a whim shoe.
Of course enter ShoeMint and they have done it again; remade an it shoe in an affordable version. I guess you might want to go into the whole highstreet knock off debate, but since most people really can’t afford to drop close to $500 on a pair of shoes that have limited wearability in a cold climate I am going to say the ShoeMint version is a must buy.
Of course you do sacrifice a few of the finer details, like leather soles and plenty of selection. The ShoeMint version comes in 4 different styles, one printed fabric and three suede options. Whereas the Jenni Kayne’s D’Orsay Flats come in everything from snake to a silk wool blend, velvet and leather.
ShoeMint isn’t the only ones knocking off the Jenni Kayne flats; Steve Madden has a version too.
Which would you choose? The Jenni Kayne originals or the Jenni Kayne knockoffs?
