I love my designer shoes and boots as much as the next girl, but with the economy closing in, it’s sometimes hard to justify (to the bank manager) why I’ve spent my monthly allowance on a pair of shoes.

They don’t seem to understand that girls need these as much as the human race needs water (well slight exaggeration there) do they?

However, I’ve come to realise that high street retailers do have similar ranges to that of designers and these boots by Cat footwear are a perfect example.

Priced at £94.99 they are a much better price than these £695 Jimmy Choo boots (pictured below) and almost identical.
