I have been eyeing the wooden heel ankle boot trend for the last few months and it has been growing on me steadily. Ankle boots by brands like Rachel Comey, Isabel Marant, and Rag & Bone were styled with everything. They looked comfortable, relaxed, and effortlessly chic. My shoe collection is divided into two main categories – black heels for work and winter boots. Flats make my feet hurt and summer sandals can be too casual and impractical, so I wanted shoes I can wear casually but comfortably and still look chic and put-together. Aritzia just received a selection of Rachel Comey “Hitch” boots in store, which is shown in the picture, and I tried them on Friday night. I was immediately in love. They are made of perforated leather, which meant they were breathable; the heel height was perfect; and they looked amazing with my jean leggings. I took it home to see how it would fit with my wardrobe and because the price was prohibitive, I checked to see if I could buy it for less online.

I couldn’t find cheaper Rachel Comey boots online and there weren’t any on eBay, but I did find many affordable versions that looked almost identical. Of course none of them are exactly like “Hitch”. The heel shape on Hitch is quite exquisite and the soles of the boots are rubber (i.e. anti-slip and long-lasting). It’s going to be hard to say goodbye to the Rachel Comeys, but I’m going to return them and buy a pair at a quarter of the price from my finds below. I thought I’d share my research with you! If you know of any other affordable versions, please let me know!
