Giuseppe Zanotti for Balmain Zipper Sandals Vs. Pour La Victoire Zipper Sandals

Spotted the Giuseppe Zanotti for Balmain Zipper Sandals on comedic actress Kristen Wiig about a week ago:

The sandals are currently on sale at Shopbop.com at 50% off:

These Balmain sandals have a very dead-on lookalike though and Leighton Meester was seen wearing them on an episode of Gossip Girl:

Leighton’s / Blair’s sandals are these Petra Zipper Sandals from Pour La Victoire:

They’re on sale too at $200.00 marked down from $385.00.

I’d probably pick the Pour La Victoire sandals over the Balmains because I like the chunky heels and the platform soles on them better. Plus, the Pour La Victoire sandals are less expensive. But I can’t knock down the huge discount Shopbop is offering for the Balmains and getting a pair of Balmain shoes at that price is probably a really good deal.
