Interestingly enough, I like the Kmart boot better than the Steve Madden. But lately, I've only obsessed over the Steve Madden glitter pump with the bow on the back - looks like the Louboutin.

Of course it is more money..Madden's boot is leather while the other boot from KMart is man made material!

I got it right. I mean, you can spot the real Steve Madden boots without any second thoughts. The second picture just looks so shiny! LOL

The second boot that is more shiny is actually the Steve Madden boot. I have them and I love them. I also found a knock off at Bakers, but I wanted real leather.
