Steve Madden Look-Alike Sandals at Target

Last weekend while in the Hamptons, my cousin looked at my sandals and said, "oh I have the same ones...Steve Madden right?" and I was like, "nope, Target!"  So that got me thinking, how close of a copy were they?  You be the judge...

Here's the Steve Madden Version called "Stark", regularly $59.99

And here's my version from Target, the Merona "Erin" $16.99- 

Then while I was looking that up, I found more!

The Steve Madden "Shineyy"- 

Target Xhilaration Sidney- 

Steve Madden Franklin- 

Mossimo Shauna-

I also got an exact copy of these Steve Madden Serenite's last year at Target:

I realize that there is a quality difference, but the styles are identical, down to small details.  So if you don't mind faux leather and you want the Steve Madden look, head over to Target.  I personally replace sandals every summer because they tend to get gross and dirty by the end, so for me it makes sense to get the cheaper ones.
