I prefer Ablaze's pattern and shape. Plus, they look easier to walk than JC's. But I must admit, when I'm really fond of a shoe model, I can't get enough, either. For exemple, Acne's Atacoma and its knock-off, JC's Alexa, if I can lay my fingers on Atacoma, I'll probably keep Alexa as well. Atacoma for sure is cool, but I like Alexa's shape, too, and they are easy to walk in. So probably Atacoma for display and collection and Alexa for daily use. But if one of the models is really less cool and much more difficult to walk in, no matter it's the original or the knock-off, I think I'll let it go.Stellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10141441741038606435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8329357512064084091.post-51794440516718394422012-10-25T16:42:59.845+01:002012-10-25T16:42:59.845+01:00Yeah I never thought back when I bought the copyca...Yeah I never thought back when I bought the copycat pair that I'd ever get the opportunity to purchase the JC ones, so I was quite happy with my lookalikes.

If I like it, I buy all the colours in dresses or shoes or bags or whatever! Sooo guilty of that. Yeah had I been given the choice I would have opted for a different print,for example I like the purple/yellow floral Damsels, but sadly the floral tapestry were the only print and only discounted pair.

I never realised I would have the opportunity to buy the JC's though, so that's why I was happy to snap up the asos pair.Pink Haired Princesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01516054022997327474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8329357512064084091.post-32409188193895517062012-10-25T16:35:01.994+01:002012-10-25T16:35:01.994+01:00yay rationalise away, I like your kind of thinking...yay rationalise away, I like your kind of thinking! xPink Haired Princesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01516054022997327474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8329357512064084091.post-24030871267579356342012-10-24T16:54:13.864+01:002012-10-24T16:54:13.864+01:00I've pondered this myself, actually.

I May consider holding on to the copycats if I'm really into them, but it'd be a tough decision for me too, haha.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8329357512064084091.post-16859067202140709472012-10-24T13:53:54.525+01:002012-10-24T13:53:54.525+01:00Too similar for me.

I own the Ablaze ones in tapestry print, and whilst I would consider them in a different colourway, as I really like the style and find them steady and comfy to walk in, I wouldn't personally have gone for the JC ones as I'm not a fan of the lacing at the back. Plus they'd have been too similar for me in the v similar fabric, as I am fast running out of space. <br />Having said all that, in the past when a pair of shoes I've loved has worn out, I've been known to track down a replacement pair. charhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01424341312136077664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8329357512064084091.post-80875565107783356312012-10-24T10:31:45.542+01:002012-10-24T10:31:45.542+01:00I usually try to avoid buying too similarly lookin...I usually try to avoid buying too similarly looking shoes, but I have to plead guilty for owning certain styles in multiple colours. (maybe an idea for a little blog post soon?)<br /><br />That said, these pairs would definitely be too similar for me to warrant having two pairs. I guess I'd have gone for a different upper. That said, I love the back seam and the zipper (handy!) on the JC's, but I really hate those seams on the toe and I don't think the height on the ankle would be flattering for my very short legs. But, if they're as comfortable as the Ablaze boots (I own them in the scribble print), I'm sure you'll get loads of wear out of them. And after all, they WERE a steal. (I'm such a sucker for sales as well, ending up things I wouldn't have bought full price, such a bad habit!)Daisyhttp://www.pennyforyourshoes.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8329357512064084091.post-60413216561882062862012-10-23T23:02:41.928+01:002012-10-23T23:02:41.928+01:00i love these shoes, although no way id be able to ...i love these shoes, although no way id be able to walk in them myself!
