We\u2019ve made it known we have designer taste, but our lemonade budget doesn\u2019t allow us to make three-figure splurges willy nilly. We\u2019re sure we\u2019re not the only ones. <\/p>\n

Next has caught our attention with its designer-inspired footwear, which made us double take – honestly.<\/p>\n

The Forever Comfort Leather Cutout Hardware Detail Slingback Heels<\/a> retail for \u00a349, and look very similar to YSL\u2019s Babylone Breteuil Slingback Pumps<\/a> that fetch \u00a3860 – a staggering \u00a3811 difference. <\/p>\n

Price tag aside, both pairs of shoes have similar features, though we know our preferences. <\/p>\n

Forever Comfort\u00ae Leather Cutout Hardware Detail Slingback Heels<\/h2>\n

Made from soft leather, these pointed slingbacks tick all the boxes: sleek metal toe detail, comfy buckle fastening, and a wearable 7cm heel. Available in black and burgundy, plus half sizes for the perfect fit.<\/p>\n

Next\u2019s slingback heels have been crafted from soft leather that offers a textured finish, whereas YSL\u2019s Babylone Breteuil Slingback Pumps are a combination of calf and lambskin leather that offers a shiny finish. <\/p>\n

Both designs feature a pointed toe, as well as a slim stiletto heel, though the heel height differs between the designer and high street creations. Next\u2019s heel height measure 7cm, while YSL\u2019s are a staggering 9cm. <\/p>\n

Both heels are a slingback design, which is a hugely popular style in recent months. While it\u2019s difficult to tell the difference between the high street and high end version, at closer inspection this slingback detail between the two slightly differs. <\/p>\n

Next\u2019s heels<\/a> feature an adjustable buckle fastening at the back, whereas YSL\u2019s slingback is elasticated. In our humble opinion, we think the buckle fastening is the better alternative, as wearers can ensure a secure fit. Whereas an elasticated back can give after numerous wears. <\/p>\n

Both the Next and YSL heels<\/a> are available in black and burgundy tones, which complement all outfits. We would pair the Next heels with wide leg jeans and a T-shirt, shirt, even an oversize blazer, a midi skirt or dress. <\/p>\n

Even though we LOVE these ones, we’d rather have the extra cash! (Picture: Metro\/YSL)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Why Next\u2019s slingback heels get our seal of approval is they can be worn for any evening out whatever the weather. Simply slip on a pair of tights for colder evenings out. So it\u2019s safe to say we will get our cost per wear out of the Next slingbacks.<\/p>\n

Considering Next\u2019s heels are \u00a3811 less than the original YSL version, we think they will sell out fast. At least, we\u2019re adding these shoes to basket immediately. <\/p>\n
