Jessica Simpson: Knockoff Shoe Queen

Kevin Mazur/WireImage

Jessica Simpson has an enviable shoe wardrobe packed with every hot designer label — maybe that’s why her namesake shoe line has some of the best knockoffs around! The fancy footwear line includes many styles comparable to high-end designer versions (think Christian Louboutin and Chloe) for a mere fraction of the cost. Check out these sexy leather Cam wedges (quite similar to last season’s Chloe) for only $79, hundreds less than the designer version, available at Nordstrom.com. The Abba pump, $90, is a great faux version of a similar $710 pair created by Christian Louboutin. Yes, we all long to be wearing the real thing like Ms. Simpson herself, but for most of us, this is a trendy (and realistic!) alternative.

I love her shoes. They are the most comfortable shoes out there! I own 4 pairs in all different styles and colors. And for all of you who don’t think she wears her shoes, she does because everytime she goes onto a TV show they will ask her about what shes wearing and she will always say these are “my shoes”! I think everyone should own atleast 1 pair of Jessica Simpson Shoes! So stop hating on Jessica!

Actually, Jessica does wear her shoes. Often. She has even worn them as wardrobe pieces in her upcoming movie Blonde Ambition (?) (I’m guessing that was the work of Joe). Technically, an item is not a “knockoff” or “faux” unless it is actually made to be passed off as made by the original designer. Jessica’s shoes are simply “similar” to some popular, high-end styles. The authors should be using better terminology; they made it sound like laws are being violated, and they are not. You can only do a black platform peep toe pump so many different ways, after all. I own several pairs of JS shoes, and I love them. The Cacee wedge is my absolute favorite. They’re durable, adorable, and they fit perfectly. Plus, they’re affordable! The average leather pump runs $60-$90, and most Jessica’s shoes fall within this range, so I wouldn’t call them opulent. They truly fit like high-end designer shoes. I’m not under the impression that Jessica locks herself away to fervently design them, though. :) I do like the designs and fit, and I plan to keep buying a style or two each season.

I just recently bought a pair of Jessica Simpson shoes and they are so sexy and cute….BUT…they are uncomfortable as hell. It seems like they tailored the shoes to fit exactly the shape of JESSICA’s foot. My arch is not supported and my ankles hurt like hell by the end of the day. Cute but not worth the pain.
