The Look for Less: L.L.Bean Duck Boot Dupes at Target

L.L. Bean Duck Boots knockoff dupe at Target by Merona
Back in October we reported that duck boots would be back in a big way this winter (SheFinds noted that L.L.Bean's iconic duck boots were already backordered as of the end of September). Sure enough, Target is selling a knockoff called the "Hudson" by Merona. The $49.99 pricetag is kinda steep for a budget boot - who knows how it will hold up compared to the guaranteed-for-life L.L.Bean duck boots ($109) - but if it's just the fashion look you're going for, then this may be the shoe for you. Choose from beige/black or brown/dark blue at target.com.*
