I found the dream Manolo Blahnik dupe for my wedding – you can’t tell the difference and they’re £800 cheaper
A WOMAN who is set to get married has revealed she’s found an incredible dupe for Manolo Blahnik heels that cost a fraction of the price.
Sitting on her bedroom floor in a white T-shirt with pink trousers, Nicole Levin explained that the video was a “serious dupe experiment”, where she would compare the two side-by-side.

“Last week, I bought a pair of Manolo’s online from Neiman’s,” she explained, giving some context. “I was talking to a girlfriend about the shoes… The very next day, she sends me a link and goes, ‘Okay, you’re gonna die. I found these on Amazon for $40.’”
Nicole then shared that when comparing the products based on the photos seen online of them, they look “exactly the same”.
“So I was like, ‘Okay, I am buying the Amazon ones for $40 and we’re going to test them and compare and see which one is better.’”
Nicole then opened the package containing the real pair of Manolo Blahnik’s, called ‘Martamod 50 embellished satin heeled mules’, which can be found at Selfridge’s for a whopping £870 in UK.
She then took out the forest green heels and began unwrapping the packaging.
“I heard they run a little small and I ordered half a size up,” Nicole explained as she moved the shoe closer to the camera.
“My foot is also really narrow so we’re gonna see how this fits. Manolo’s are obviously outrageously expensive but apparently the quality is great.”
After trying the shoes on, Nicole immediately said they were too small for her but she “loves them, they’re really pretty”.
“I’m on the fence about this,” she continued. “My foot is also super, super, super narrow, but these are a little wide so I would probably put a pad on the sole.”
Nicole then opened the Amazon box as she said: “They didn’t make them in green so I got the white.”
Unwrapping the shoe, she explained that the quality is a “little bit different” and the Manolo’s a “bit prettier”.
“The fabric is pretty much the same, let’s see how they fit,” she said before comparing the two side-by-side on her feet.
“Okay, I’m dying. Dupe, real Manolo,” she said. “My God, I don’t know what to do. This dupe strength is vile.
“I like the green, but I can have them for $1000 dollars less in the cream.”
Despite the dupe, which can be found on Amazon UK under the title ‘Womens Chunky Block Heel Mules Dressy Sandals Open Toe Rhinestone Jeweled Low Heeled Wedding Slide Shoes’ for £52, being wider, she decided to keep them and return the Manolo’s.
“I conducted a controlled trial. Manolo Blahniks versus the $40 Amazon dupes. Dupe strength is [tick emoji],” she added in the caption.
People flocked to the comments section of the TikTok video to share their thoughts as one person wrote: “The real ones definitely look better, but I’m not sure they look $1,000 better. I’d keep the dupes,” to which @shopinmamea replied: “I hate how reasonable this comment is lol dammit”.
Another said: “Keep the dupe and dye them any color you want”. [sic]
While a third shared: “M is better quality but is it worth $1k better? Keep the $1k in ur acct and get the $40 in a few colors”. [sic]
Others, however, suggested she keep the real ones as they can be worn time again.
“The green is special and you can wear them post wedding. Your feet will also thank you because the insole will be leather vs plastic #blisters,” one shared.
While a second agreed: “I bought manolos for my wedding and I wear them all the time! They even look super chic with your outfit! Best to buy something you can wear again!!”
Nicole responded: “My thoughts exactly! No one will even see my shoes lol so might as well get a pair that feel extra special & stay in my suitcase for honeymoon!” [sic]
