Jeffrey Campbell already took a pretty good stab at the Burberry Studded Platform Heel, but just in case you need another option, there's these clackers from TopShop.
Reader Gabbi reports that the "Studded Crossover Platform" is available for about $130, and instead of a double-studded strap like the Burberry heel, they go for a single strand of metallic pyramids across the heel and toe. Everything else looks the same.
Will the shoe be different enough to prevent a cease-and-desist order?
We doubt it, as the shoes look closer than Mary Kate and Ashley in matching Lanvin sacks. But maybe it won't come to a lawsuit - before Burberry has a chance to sue, these shoes might become a "So Yesterday" item for both upscale shoppers and high street girls, too.
PS: For more double trouble, check out the excellent find from Fops and Dandies - our favorite Target necklace was shamelessly ripped by Forever 21!

love and fear the buberry ones. But you are right, by the time any feathers are ruffled, these shoes will be so 5 minutes ago.
