River Island has truly pulled out all the stops to deliver high end fashion<\/a> pieces, but for a fraction of the price – and we can hardly tell the difference between the high street<\/a> and high end versions. <\/p>\n

We\u2019ve seen a variety of designer-inspired bags<\/a> and shoes<\/a> from River Island<\/a> of late, and there is no slowing down either, as we have spied another pair of luxury looking heels from the longstanding high street retailer. <\/p>\n

River Island\u2019s Buckle Slingback Heeled Court Shoes<\/a> have caught our attention as a very similar alternative to Loewe\u2019s Toy Pumps, just \u00a3781 cheaper. <\/p>\n

Black Buckle Slingback Heeled Court Shoes<\/h2>\n

Crafted from faux leather fabric with a patent yet cracked finish. These heels boast a round toe, with V-cut open top, and skinny 6cm heel that gets wider at the base. These slingbacks also boast a thick strap and chunky buckle fastening.<\/p>\n

River Island\u2019s Buckle Slingback Heeled Court shoes<\/a> have been crafted from a faux leather fabric, which offers a patent finish. <\/p>\n

They feature a round toe, and v-plunge open top, which gives a similar effect to show off your \u2018toe cleavage\u2019 like a plunge neckline on a dress – if you know what we mean. The slingback design features a thick heel strap and chunky gold-tone buckle for a secure fit. <\/p>\n

Another standout feature is the skinny 6cm heel has a gradient, so the heel is wider at the end to help keep you on your feet. This is similar to Loewe\u2019s heels, though the designer version features a ball-like stub at the base of the 4.5cm heel. <\/p>\n

Made from high quality goatskin, these round toe heels are a fuss-free slip on design.\u00a0 The standout feature is the skinny heel is fitted with an exaggerated round detail on the end.<\/strong> (Picture: Metro\/Loewe)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The Loewe heels<\/a> have been crafted from super soft goatskin, and boast a \u2018petal-shaped toe\u2019, which is essentially a round toe. <\/p>\n

The Toy Pumps are a lip on design, and don\u2019t feature the heel strap or buckle like River Islands, though we actually prefer that added detail. <\/p>\n

Loewe\u2019s heels <\/a>are available in three colours, including black, white and burgundy, but are also available in blue denim fabric and higher heel heights. <\/p>\n

However, Loewe\u2019s heels fetch \u00a3825, which is a staggering sum compared to River Island\u2019s heels that cost \u00a344. <\/p>\n

We would style both heels in the exact same way. Team the shoes with a pair of straight, wide, or barrel leg jeans, and a chic satin shirt for a fuss-free evening ensemble, or pair with a satin slip dress for an occasion such as a wedding or birthday. <\/p>\n

We\u2019ve got to stress that River Island\u2019s heels are selling out fast.  The shoes are usually available in UK shoe sizes ranging from 2 to 9, but sizes are flying off the virtual shelves. <\/p>\n
