At this point, the Chloe Susan Studded Boot is almost legendary. Whether in fiery red or classic black, this boot is everywhere (the boots above are from Erin Wasson’s personal collection, but they have also graced the feet of Kate Bosworth, Sienna Miller… the list goes on). In fact, our EIC Melissa Middleton included these babies in her Must Haves list in our pre-fall issue. Yes, they’re pretty fantastic, but if you’re opposed to spending the equivalent of what you spent on your first car on a pair of shoes, many other brands have released styles in tribute to the Chloe original.
For a literal translation, Jeffrey Campbell’s Gimme a Glint Bootie is a strikingly similar copy for under $200, sold on ModCloth. Campbell makes a heeled version, the Volpe Ankle Boot for $330, found here.
Whether you’re more for the tributes, or you want to fork up the $1000+ on the Chloe’s, below is a compilation of studded and strappy ankle boots inspired by the originals. Now you don’t have to scour the internet for hours – you’re welcome!
