Antik Batik Tipi Beaded Sandals on Heidi Klum

We all know Heidi Klum is obsessed with Giuseppe Zanotti sandals, so when I saw this picture of her, I immediately thought the pair on her feet must be Zanottis.

In fact, I initially thought it was the flat version of this jeweled Zanotti sandal I saw at BlueFly.

Heidi’s Sandals

However, upon close inspection, I found that I was utterly mistaken. I even double checked by visiting the Zanotti website; indeed, no such sandals exist in the brand’s summer or fall inventory.

I became even more curious and ended up spending a good amount of time searching for information on the pair online. I was actually close to giving up on the hunt, but luck must have been with me because I finally found it!

Heidi’s sandals are the Antik Batik Tipi Beaded Sandals. You can buy it at Endless.com for US$133, that’s about 42% off its retail price of US$230. Not bad for a pair bedecked with crystal stones.

If you want to save though, here’s a very close substitute. And I mean very close, at almost half the price – the Steve Madden Spaced.
