Wittner A/W 09
So I've trawled the internet like a maniac, trying to find pics of the Wayne by Wayne Cooper and Leona Edmiston designer shoe ranges being stocked at Myers around the country, but have come up with nadas. Shame, because I wanted to feature the gorgeous purple suede stacked heels by Wayne Cooper. Part minx, part feline-assassin and part PSA (pure sex appeal), I WANT those shoes....but am on a shoe ban.
So with the dreaded B word firmly in place, I decided it wouldn't hurt to visit Wittner. Oh, and it wasn't just me being masochistic....the sister celebrates her birthday in less than 10 days and is starting to become a fellow shoe fiend.
I walked in. And started drooling (yet at the same time was left somewhat hmmm....disappointed in their design team?). Because Wittner does incredibly awesome rip-offs of designer shoes, and produces them relatively soon after. Prime examples:
a) YSL Tribute platform pumps-a nod to
or in the funkier version:
b) Prada-esque spat heels, I do like the (added) silver button tabs on the side...
I am so tempted by the faux-tributes, it's not even funny. I just have to remember my ban. No Wayne Coopers, no faux tributes....waaaahhh ;)
Heres hoping someone out there can enjoy the shoes.

Loving the YSL pumps!!!
Such a neccessary but guilty classic.
i could never walk in those shoes, but I'd happily have them especially the purple ones
Where on planet earth did you find the identi-Balmain heels? !!!!!
I LOVE the YSL Tribute, but hear ya loud and clear on shoe ban... the hunt is (sometimes)exhausting!
Have a great day baby!
lol-xx
want want!
These would make my short legs look so good. But I always feel like a tall poser when I wear really high heels cuz I'm so little! Haha.
The funkier style is pretty awesome!
I am SO happy that you posted this! I am so in love with the ysl tributes, and have been dying to get my hands on a pair of decent knockoffs. You have answered all my dreams :)
xx
The "tributes" look great - the printed ones are amazing!!
oh.my.god. the ysl k/offs are amazing! i'm so drooling over the purple ones. do they ship to the US?
and thank u so much for such a sweet comment. really made my day. and i take it you're more of a salt person than sweet? ;)
Hey Juley, think the shoes cost Aud $189.95. But you'll have to add shipping costs to the States (they do offer international shipping for those who were wondering)
Petra, glad I could be of help. I am so tempted.....
...I should probably take a bet on how long I'll last before I cave in and buy a pair of the sex-on-legs shoes (I'm going with not very long!)
Nina, aww....nothing but the truth, hun! p.s. Wittner ship to the States...not sure what the costs are though...
good luck!
And thank you all for the lovely comments :)
Oooh that shoe sounds very intriguing!! Esp since it's PURPLE! :)))
oh yes please I love wittner! I am so glad they got a store for P-town.

all these shoes are amazing. great choices & post (;
Bella, forgot to mention that I found the faux-Balmains at a local surf store (of ALL places!!). The downside was that it was some dodge hard core foam material, but on the plus side the shoes only cost $20. They break, so what??!!?
Stompface, I work in the city so every so often I'm tempted to go in and have a gander, bad news on the wallet I tell you ;)
And thanks Cory....shoes will always be A OK in my book :)
