Candela boots are wonderful, but they’re also mega pricey.  Take the Candela ‘Robin’ studded bike boot; it’s brilliant, but $310. 

Steve Madden has created a near identical version, down to the black sole, studded anklet, bike boot design style and contrast stitching on the sole.  The difference is the Steve Madden Giiaa boots are currently on sale for $138.  Oh, they’re still made of leather, of course – these are spunky wear anywhere booties perfect for the city sidewalk catwalk.

Sizes 5.5 – 10 are still available, so grab it while you can.  If you were one of those that participated in the Steve Madden Twitter offer of Twitpic-ing your shoe closet in exchange for a 40% off promo code, these boots will end up being only $55! Can you believe that?
