Why this dupe

A clear wedge heel delivering the same barely-there illusion as the Alaïa anchors this piece, but the tan suede-look thong strap and rounded square toe soften the whole proposition from architectural tension into warm-weather ease, a day shoe with genuine intention rather than a runway translation. At $76, about 4% of the original's price, it is a considered object in its own register.
