Look for Less: Isabel Marant Dicker Boot

by cheapchica11 on August 4, 2011

They may just be the “it” boot of the fall and I for one am a huge fan! While I love my high heels (boots included) they are not so fun to walk in and after a summer of teetering around in super high sandals I’m so looking forward to a boot that’s not only stylish but practical too!

The “Dicker” boot by Isabel Marant is a celeb favorite- stars like Kate Bosworth, Nicole Richie and the stunning Rosie Huntington Whiteley (pictured here) have all been spotted in theirs…the only thing is these boots also come with an A-list price tag.  $800 bucks to be exact and even at that price, they’re still sold out everywhere!  Who knew so many people could afford to buy eight hundred dollar boots!? Regardless of the price tag, these boots are haunting me and they seem to be following me everywhere I go…meaning: I need them stat!

I was on a shoot for New York LIVE a few weeks ago and the stylist on set used a similar pair on a model that she swore were from the GAP…so I’ve been stalking their site since then but nothing yet.  Luckily I kept my eyes open and found a very similar style at Zara on sale for $35…but I also found this pair from Steve Madden on Piperlime.

They’re almost identical and for $129 they’re not a bad deal when you think of how much the originals are.  If you want this look, I think these are your best bet! SteveMadden.com also carries them in black and cognac (the color Rosie’s wearing in the pic) but if they’re still too pricey you may want to wait for one of those in-store sales or email coupon codes to try and save 20-30% off!

Either way, I’m getting them in two colors and I know they’ll be my go to come Fall!

i found a very similar pair from oldnavy.com about a month ago when they had their 40% off everything sale. http://oldnavy.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=55149&vid=1&pid=857815&scid=857815002

It’s faux leather but for $25 (sale price) you can’t go wrong…I almost bought an identical pair from zara back in winter but didn’t do it…then they sold out and I totally regretted it.

I also ordered the steve madden one’s a month ago…but they never shipped and got cancelled…finally they came back on piperlime and steve madden about 2 weeks ago…hopefully they come through this time!
