Spot the Real: Steve Madden 'Daisey' Bow Sandal

Can you guess which sandals cost more?
Thanks to a tip from alert reader and fellow blogger Niki at Cheapalicious, I discovered a great Steve Madden look for less - the two pairs are nearly identical! Except, that is, for the price. The "real" is $45 at shoes.com (or $25 at Marshalls, see this post for an in-store photo) while the look for less is $19.99 (plus 30% off with code MEM30). And it comes in black, tan or white (see my in-store pic here). I love this style for hot summer days because you don't have to sacrifice style for comfort. Now let's see if you can guess which sandal costs more - click a link below to find out!
