I guess I'm not the shoe addict I thought I was because I had a hard time guessing :)Is F21's a peep toe or closed toe?

F21 was closed toe, and came in two colors I think...but no red sole unfortunately!

I don't think they're that similar either. And yeah, had no idea who the original was in any case :o).
