Designer Shoe Deja Vu: Giuseppi Zanotti vs. Vince Camuto

Sometimes you encounter a style and just know you’ve seen it before.
Compare this:
Vince Camuto ‘Wendy’ Sandal $118.95 at Endless.com & $120 at Zappos.com
To this:
Giuseppe Zanotti I90265 $750 $357 at Zappos.com & $412.50 at Endless.com
The differences between these are minor, but noticeable when comparing them side by side. Which ones do you prefer: the originals from Zanotti, or the near-copies from Camuto?
Also, how do you feel about designer inspired styles that are near-knockoffs of higher-end designers? Such styles are legal at this time as long as no trademarks from the original design are copied onto the lower-end style – but should we demand more creativity from mid-end brands who can probably afford to invest in more original design talent rather than resorting to being runway copyists?
*I should note that a lot of Camuto designs are not so imitative. I love the brand, in fact, because they have been some of the best-fitting heels I have found for my arch height and shape.

The Wendy is a great shoe. I love the price and plan to pick up more styles. Vince Camuto styles seem to fit really well.

The more modern buckles on the Zanotti ones hooked me. The Zanotti's also look like they offer more of a peep-toe instead of a full sandal like the copies. Maybe it's just the angle of the picture.

Strangely, the straps of the original pair look sexier. But then my wallet can only accommodate the near-copies

I love those shoes. As much as I love high end designer items, if I find something that I love, then I don't care. Those shoes are fabulous and it makes me happy that I can by almost the same shoe at half the cost!!
