I recently discovered these J. Crew wedge booties and have fallen in love. Unfortunately, they are a little (okay, a lot) out of my price range and I was wondering if you had seen something similar elsewhere? —Aditi
Great find, those look comfy and very "utilitarian chic." I tracked down a couple options that will help you get the look for less. First up, we have Kelsi Dagger's "Fanetta" desert booties ($100, shopbop.com)…
If you want a bit more height, you could go with Lands' End Canvas' "Paxton" wedge booties ($98, landsendcanvas.com). Available in 5 colors.
Need an option under $50? Try these boots from Sonoma life + style, $47.99 (down from $64.99) at Kohls.com.
UPDATE: Reader Sarah shared this amazing find in the comments. These desert wedge booties are just $36.94 at oldnavy.com and come in gray, green or camel.
Hope you find the desert wedge boots of your dreams for fall! xoBB

I've been looking for an alternative (I really dig the cuff on the Target/Bamboo versions). Having a tough time though since most of these seem to be without a platform I can't do higher than 3".
I'll probably end up with the LEC ones. They'll be great quality and I can return them with no hassle if I find a better pair or decide I don't like them.
I really like the tread on the Kelsi and Sonoma versions though, very casually urban chic.
They're a real suede version of the ones Target will have. Again, they're very high with no platform, but I know some of you ladies take no issue with that.
