Update! 2.19.11
Since Spring is right around the corner, I'm keeping an eye out for wedges! I found a "steal" of CL's Almeria in Vince Camuto's "Edon" wedge (available in brown or black)! These look a lot closer to the real things too!
On sale for about $70 right now at
Endless
5.6.10
Found another... Researching is exhausting!
Left: Christian Louboutin "Almeria" $535
Right: Paprika "Totosa Wedges" $21.99
In this case, I think I like the real deal more because of the overall shape and color. Any which way, the "steal" is still a good runner up.
