It’s finally time to start considering sandals, and to decide how much you’ll spend for them.
To that end, reader Carrie Louise likes Manolo Blahnik has a gorgeous pair for $575.
Oh, and J. Crew has the same pair for $118, at least by appearance.
We still think that’s a little high, so here are the questions:
1) Can you find another pair of these shoes for under $70?
2) Would you buy either of these versions?

Re: Allison's comment. I think there should be a list of labels that fall under the "Who do you think you are, ___" category! I often think this about Bebe, for instance.

Last March, a few designers embraced the one off ad. Ads are expensive, and if you've got the momentum of a Rodarte or a Phillip Lim, unnecessary (for now). Unless of course the economy tanks. One of the designers who gave the idea a shot, Zac Posen, shot this ad… Read More

insane prices for not much shoe. i wouldn't buy either.
if you're looking for something not quite as upmarket as manolo, nor as downmarket as jcrew, i believe the prada version is on bluefly right now for under $250. even less yesterday, as they just had an amazing shoe sale. scored a pair of white tod's driving mocs for $200.
