alternative for a very similar silhouette squarish toe derby
I like this shoe design but I don’t want to buy a ZARA shoe for $120 or wear it for extended amounts of time. Help me find either the original that Zara ~borrowed~ the idea from or a similar or dupe thanks

not quite the same but it reminds me a bit of some prada derbies?
Camperlab
Hol up, lemme find the ones I have

Might be a pain to track down but the toe box looks like this irl
Hmm I’m looking for a thin sole
I would get these if I didn’t have the Chelsea’s version haha
Marsell has some other shoes reminiscent as well, but expensive:

Not exactly square toe but I like the soloviere ones
The sole height
Oh these are nice
I like them
Super nice
Price is not
The steccoblocco ones aren't square toes but have elements of a really slim but not sleek silhouette
@meatwater – art sized put me on a bunch of these when I asked for cool derbies so maybe they know something
Ya I think square to is a nice to have but I’m more looking for a slim silhouette
Honestly this is for meat inspired fits lol
So they would be very useful in recs
Damn Zara should cite their sources tho
hmmm when it comes to mens shoe size brands I'm less useful, but I'd look for leather slippers. Ssense def has some options but at the lower end price point I've had more success looking at women's shoes since men's shoes tend to be more conservatively shaped. What shoe size are you?
Size 41! So I can buy women’s shoes and my feet are fairly slim too
Do you have any women’s brand recs?
yeah! I'd recommend Vagabond Shoes, and then I always check Vince (not Vince camuto) secondhand. You could also try searching for "square toe flats or square toe ballet flats" within a women's shoes for some options.
square toe loafers also might look a little different in the women's shoe side and be worth digging around in since women's loafers often can be a bit of a cross between a ballet flat and a structured loafer
Tyty!
