Shoes are essential in tying a fit together. Whether you’re getting dressed up for a formal event or just going out to run errands, you want the shoes to match your vibe. Sometimes they can be used as a statement piece, but other times, they’re more so just there for comfort. Whatever your budget is for a good pair of shoes, we’ve got you covered. Here is a list of high-end shoes and their dupes. So no matter what your budget is, you can achieve the look you have in mind.

Platform Heels
A good pair of black platform heels is a very versatile type of shoe. You can wear it out partying, for a formal event, or even just to make an outfit stand out more. Platform heels come in many designs and styles. It’s up to you how specific you want to get with the details. Here, the high-end shoe is from Christian Louboutin, famous for their “red bottoms”. It features an adjustable ankle strap and heel coverage. The dupe version of this famous high-end shoe is the Vince Camuto platform sandals. Though it does not have a covered heel, it does have an adjustable ankle strap as well.
These two platform heels are very similar in design. Both can be styled similarly and achieve a similar look altogether.
Stiletto Heels
Platforms may not be everyone’s thing, we get that. And that’s why we’re mentioning normal heels as well. These stiletto heels can be worn to business meetings, offices, and even out to parties or events. They are another pair of super versatile shoes. The high-end shoe for this category is the TOM FORD sandals with a lock hanging by the adjustable ankle strap. As you can see, the high-end shoe does offer a bit more intricate details and designs. However, if you’re just looking for a shoe that will match your outfits without breaking the bank, we recommend the Nine West Loola sandal. No, it’s not as fancy as the TOM FORD one, however, it is still one that can be styled in many different ways with many different outfits.
Whether you choose to opt for the high-end shoe or the dupe version, both can achieve a similar look.
Flats
Flats are like an “in-between” shoe. If neither heels nor sneakers work, try flats. They can give the same level of formality as heels but with a similar level of comfort as sneakers (though if you want true sneaker comfortability then sneakers would be the chest option here). Our high-end shoe for this category is the Miu Miu ballerina flats. This pair will offer more breathability and flexibility than a traditional pair of flats. However, if the high-end version is not to your liking, or maybe you just don’t want to spend that much on a pair of flats (totally understandable), try the dupe version. Our dupe for this shoe is the Anne Klein slip-on flats. Though they are obviously created from different materials, the overall finished look is quite similar. You can rock either of these shoes in similar settings and to similar events.
Sneakers
Of course we’re gonna mention sneakers on this list. One of the most popular and bestselling high-end shoes is sneakers after all. From chunky sneakers to the famous Air Jordans, sneakers are a part of our everyday lifestyle. It’s what we gravitate towards when we want to rock a sporty look or something more casual. Sneakers can be worn with almost any look and they’ll look great (if styled correctly). If we made a dupe list for every type of sneakers we’d be here for hours, so for both our sakes, we will just mention one type in this post (but you get the idea). Our high-end sneaker pick is the Dolce&Gabbana chunky runners. If you’re looking for something that won’t break the bank, the Fila chunky sneaks will do just fine. After all, the Filas are the sneaks that went viral in the first place and started this chunky sneakers trend.
Leather Boots
Combat boots are definitely a statement piece. These shoes will make you look and feel like a badass. Our high-end shoe pick for combat boots is the Prada zip-pocket booties. The zip-pocket accessory around the ankle makes this shoe iconic and a standout. It is one that will be recognized. Our dupe for this iconic pair of boots is the AllSaints combat boots. It does not come with any ankle zip-pockets but it will do the job of completing your fit and helping it stand out.
Slippers
Slippers are not just for indoors. They can be for outdoors too. When you think of high-end shoes, slippers may not be the first thing that comes to mind, but it is important to invest in a high-quality pair. If that means splurging a little, then it may be worth it for the comfort and longevity of the shoe. Our high-end pick for slippers is the Ugg platform slippers. Uggs are known for their footwear (especially boots and slippers). They are comfortable and stylish. No one ever said you had to sacrifice style just for comfort, and we’re here to prove that right. Whether you choose the Uggs or the dupe version, you can rock your platform slippers in style while running errands or just relaxing.
This is a short list of our high-end shoes and dupes. This is to give you an idea of how you can splurge or save and still achieve a similar overall look. Shoes are personal to each person’s preferences and style. Choose the right one for you and your feet. We hope our short list of ideas has given you some inspiration.
