The Triple Knotted Wedges, which were last spotted on Anthropologie’s website for $130 have shown up on Amazon.com for just under $100. They come in a variety of colors and zyzzyva — who sent in the tip — says that Amazon’s size conversions are accurate.
If you spot an Anthro item for less somewhere (or something comparable) please send me an email tip and I will share it via post. Cheers to a wonderful community.
Amazon also has a number of Coclico shoes that have been at Anthro, including the Chum sandals(sold out at Anthro, i think), for much cheaper. I was able to get my hands on Ceres oxford pump from Fall 2009 for under $100!! Plus – free shipping!
FYI, the Barbera heels on the site now are by Seychelles, style name Duchess. Right now you can also get them at SeychellesFootwear.com in several other colors, though I am sure they will show up at other online shoe retailers soon. Also, the Cross Your T-Straps are by Seychelles, too, style name Vaudeville. You can also get them direct from Seychelles in several other cool colors. They are also at endless.com. Finally, the Flash of Brilliance flats are by, you guessed it, Seychelles, style name Boy Shorts, They are available direct from Seychelles and also from piperlime, shoes.com, endless.com, etc. in several other colors.I always try and zoom in on the footwear as much as possible to see if I can see the brand name imprinted on the liner. Sometimes Anthro will tell you the shoe is by Frye or Chie Mihara, As soon as I can figure out the brand I start searching for the shoes at other retailers to compare price and colors and size conversions. I've managed to get quite a few of the shoes Anthro sells at a cheaper price or different color.
Piperlime has the All-Occasion Heels by Pink Studio for $59.99 versus Antrho's $98.00. Jacquelyn is right, if you can zoom in enough to see the brand name, they can pretty easily be found elsewhere for cheaper!
If anyone's interested in the Scarf-tied oxfords that is currently backordered at Anthro in all sizes except 7.5 & 8, which are sold out, I know of 2 stores that have it. 1. Kristines Mad About Shoes 209-728-9270 $139 but will price match. I ordered from this store.2. Shoo Store 414-765-2355 $116.They both charge shipping, but all in all it works to be about the same price as what Anthro is charging. One thing to keep in mind is that these stores only carry Euro sizes, so you might need to size up.
thank you so much for this info! I've been searching for the "cross your t-straps" shoes, which are no longer available at Anthropologie–these are just the tip I needed!btw, I have the scarf-tied oxfords–got them at Imelda's shoes in Portland–and they're kind of stiff. Not too bad, though; I'm hoping to break them in.
