(LEFT) CHRISTIAN LOUBOUTIN - BIG LIPS v. (RIGHT) ZARA TUFTED PLATFORM COURTS
When I saw these Zara pumps in the store for the first time, my mind immediately went back to the Louboutin classics. The Louboutin 'Big Lips' 120 Suede Pumps have been sold out almost everywhere for as long as I can remember. Took Zara a long while to catch-on but eventually they did. And, obviously the heels are not an identical match otherwise it would be a clear rip-off but the similarities are there. However, the Zara heels are a little bit “boxier” than the originals and you can clearly see the edge where the heel starts while Louboutins are one-piece and almond-toe shaped - super curvy and just gorgeous.
For me the Louibs are unquestionably the the more preferable choice although my wallet would beg to differ. The Zara pair is a nice alternative if one doesn't want to break the bank too much - retailing at only £39.99 but, if you're feeling like splashing out on the real thing it will be well worth it at an astounding 475 figure.

NB: The Zara heels also come in Red eel, Black + Sand.
