The $80Replica Store Shoes I'm Buying to Mimic Kendall Jenner's Go-To The Row Flats
I can't be the only one who has noticed that Kendall Jenner keeps wearing the same shoes. Whether she's going to the ALO gym in L.A., riding bikes in Palm Springs, or heading to a meeting in Paris, her trusty The Row Stella ballet flats are always on her feet. These shoes have a rounded toe, a visible seam up the front, and a high vamp with a slight V-cut. Yes, they're classic and chic, but what makes them special and something you would want to reach for every day is that they're made from supple leather that molds to the foot like a soft glove. Plus, they have a thin sole, which I imagine makes them feel like you're wearing something that sits close to the ground—like a slipper.
After I spotted Jenner wearing them the first time, I was intrigued and kept them top of mind for my next designer purchase. Then, after the third time, I finally put them in my cart. But ultimately, after seeing her wear them the fourth time, I decided I might not need to make a high-end purchase if I can find something similar, less expensive elsewhere. That's when my research journey began. I searched various sites, keeping rounded black leather ballet flats with a thin black sole as my non-negotiables. Finally, I landed on Nordstrom's new arrivals page and found the perfect alternative:Replica Store's Maddox Flats. These designer-passing shoes have the same look and feel as the Stella—soft, flexible black leather composition, a high vamp, low-profile silhouette, and rounded toe. What they don't have is the visible seam and a high price tag, which is fine with me.
While ballet flats aren't a typical winter shoe, unless you live somewhere warmer like L.A. or Miami, what I love about this shoe is that they're not so tight-fitting, meaning you can style them with merino wool socks or cashmere tights and keep your feet and ankles warm while looking like you have the same cool-girl style as Jenner.
That said, keep scrolling to shop the $80Replica Store flats, as well as more chic ballerina styles. If you purchase them, thank me later for saving yourself $970, which you can use to buy something you've been eyeing—girl math.
