Balmain Giuseppe Zanotti for Balmain Stretch Urban Gladiators

It’s been over a year since Balmain and Giuseppe Zanotti for Balmain came out with these gladiator sandals, but it’s proven to be quite the popular style because knockoffs are still coming out even up to now.

Take these Lorry Sandals from Type Z for instance:

These sandals are some of the newer arrivals of Type Z shoes at Zappos.com. They’re a little late coming out, but these are possibly the best knockoffs of the Balmains I have ever come across. I can’t even tell ‘em apart from the real thing!

The $100.00 for the Type Z Lorry Sandals is chump change compared to the $1,195 for the Balmains, but if you want to go even cheaper, check out these New Moon Sandal Booties from Dolce by Mojo Moxy:

Not the most exact copy, but for just half the price of the Type Zs, the differences can be overlooked. These sandals were $99.99 but they are now $50.00, 50% off, at 6pm.com.

Of course, you’re also free to purchase the Balmains themselves though sizes are severely limited. Sizes 38.5 and 40 for the Balmain Giuseppe Zanotti for Balmain Stretch Urban Gladiators are available; other sizes are wait-listed. They retail for $703.82 (down from $1,006.37) at MyTheresa.com.
