As promised here is the much awaited blog post with the best Gucci Boot “dupes” I could find. To me a dupe is something that takes the look of the item (in this case chunky heeled chelsea boots) and makes it their own. They do not try to pass themselves off as being from Gucci. As a reminder I DO NOT condone and WILL NOT be posting exact replicas of these boots. The Gucci “GG” logo is definitely trademarked and likely copyrighted by the company so I respect their IP and do not post these items. Also replica is just a nicer word for counterfeit or fake. Fakes are shown to be made by child labor and the proceeds from the items benefit terrorism. No one “needs” these boots so honestly its better to not buy them then to buy fakes.
As a reminder, the boots pictured below are the Gucci boots I am talking about. They retail at $1,100. I bought them in a 40.5 and they fit me perfectly. For reference I wear a 39.5 in the Gucci Brixton loafer (because or else my feet slip out of the loafer) and a 40.5 in the Princetown mule. I have seen them go on sale and bought mine on sale when Barneys was closing. The place I see them on sale the most is Jomashop. I have also seen them preloved on Fashionphile.
Gucci Boot Dupes
- Steve Madden Amulet Black– $129.95 (This is probably the closes dupe to the Gucci boots since it does have the jewels on top. They do seem a little bit like a replica to me but they do not use the GG logo, say Gucci on the back of the boot or have the snake tread so they pass the Sam test- barely.)
- Steve Madden Howler Bootie– $99.95 (Very Similar to the Gucci Boot without the strap on. Also has some Prada vibes.)
- Sam Edelman Justina Chelsea Boot -$149.95 (similar to the Gucci boot without the strap but a little less chunky for those who do not want such pronounced treads)
- Linea Paolo Tate Platform Chelsea Boot- $139.95 (this boot had a heel height that is very similar to the one the Gucci boot has.)
- Target Cai Double Gore Boots– $39.99 (these are the second cheapest on the list. They do resemble the Gucci boot but also have the double pull tabs which remind me of the Bottega Veneta boots.)
- Chelsea Boots Women Elastic Panel Chunky Heel Booties– $36.99 (These are the cheapest boot on the list and probably the least similar to the Gucci boots. The do still have the heeled, chunky chelsea boot look but do not have the pronounced treads.)
