Love her or hate her, Kim Kardashian knows a whole lot about fashion and how to wear an outfit. So when she stepped out wearing a pair of Balenciaga Knife booties and carrying a vintage Chanel quilted train case circa 1992, we knew we couldn’t find anything that could touch the aesthetic of Chanel. But we knew we could definitely beat the price of a pair of these adorable but high-priced sock booties.
Sock booties mix the pull-on features of a sock with an ankle boot that has a stretchy fabric shaft that fits super snugly around your calves. That’s what gives it a sock-like appearance. The bootie part is made from leather, faux leather and even satin, while its higher heels offer a sleek, streamlined look. Sock booties are super versatile because they can go with a slew of outfits and be either dressed up or down, depending on the occasion.
The Balenciaga Knife Bootie, like Kim K’s, costs around $1,290, which is way, way out of range for most people’s budgets. If that’s you, then we’ve found some options that get you a similar look without forcing you to skimp on pesky things like car and house payments.
Tony Bianco Lila Lycra Ankle Boots
This showstopping bootie is probably the best Balenciaga look-alike we’ve seen, especially for the price. The Tony Bianco Lila boot has a stretchy Lycra 7-inch shaft and a sharp pointy toe with a 4-inch block heel.
Aldo Phara Pointed-Toe Sock Bootie
With a pointy toe and slender flared 3-inch heel, this trendsetting bootie gives you a sleek look thanks to its 6.25-inch shaft. The Aldo boot has a stretchy knit upper that conforms perfectly to the shape of your leg.
Mia McKinley Pointed-Toe Booties
The McKinley stiletto bootie lets you step up your style without sacrificing your budget. It has the typical stretch-knit 3.5-inch fabric shaft that a sock bootie should and a pointy almond-shaped toe with a sturdy, 3-inch stiletto heel.
Nine West Teoy Dress Booties
The Tatiana Pump family welcomes its newest member, the Teoy ankle boot. It features a sky-high 4-inch stiletto heel and pointy toe. The soft 5.2-inch fabric shaft will lengthen the look of your legs as you strut the halls of the office or the streets of the city.
ASOS Design Eleanor High Heel Sock Boots
With their pull-on style, you can easily slip into these 4.5-inch high booties without the hassle of zippers or laces. The sock-like cuff offers a snug fit, as the pointy toes give these boots a sleek silhouette.
