Luxe for Less: Chloe Susanna Studded Ankle Boots Dupe


Eek I’m tres excited for my new purchase and cannot wait until its arrival, so whilst I’m impatiently waiting on my postman to deliver my new boots I thought I would write a post about them-I am of course talking about the Schuh ‘Bob’ Studded Ankle Boot’s which are exactly the same as the Office Nighthawk ankle boots only the Schuh version has the Blink logo on them.


Can be bought here for £80

These boots are of course a dupe for the Chloe Susanna Studded Ankle Boots which were made popular back in 2008 by celebrities such as Kate Bosworth and Sienna Miller. I always wished that I had these boots but unfortunately do not have that kind of money and have thus been on the look out for a good dupe of these boots. Hence my excitement at discovering recently that they were more than one dupe of these boots available on the high-street.

I umed and awed over the office version for ages but didn’t have £104 spare to spend on them. I would try them on each time I was in the shop [I’m sure the shop assistant was sick of me trying and not buying,lol] and so I decided I would save up for them. Around a month after deciding to save for them I discovered that Schuh had brought out a pair named ‘bob’ which are branded by Blink for £80. All sounds a bit confusing, but word on the street is that they are in fact the same boot. From closer inspection I would say that they are with the only difference being that the Schuh version has a small logo on the side.  I am however happy to report that I managed to grab myself a little bargain and got the Schuh ‘Bob’ ankle boots brand new on ebay for £68.50 as someone was selling them due to them not suiting them and having exceeded the return date of their receipt. So bonus for me-yaay!!!
Now just one question remains: what do I wear with these boots?
As you may have gathered from previous blog posts I love all things studded. I would describe my style as girly with a slight grungier edge to it.  For everyday casual wear you will probably find me in a blouse of some sort, a blazer, skinnies and studded pumps. I am very much a flats girl by day and thought these boots could add a bit of edge to my wardrobe for autumn/winter. Below I have gathered some inspiration on what I could wear these boots with.
 



What do you think of these boots and what would you wear with them?
Thanks for reading,

  1. Hi, I was lusting after the Chloe boots just like you too and ended up buying the Office Nighthawk recently for £80 and I am so glad I did! They literally go with everything like you have shown, great with jeans but also with bare legs and dresses. Also I have just found an exact replica of the Chloe boots on Ebay, a shop in China. They have got them down to a T and are real leather, they have the gold detailing rather than silver and go more up the ankle like the Chloe ones, you should check them out. Also they are only £65, I just ordered a red pair! Check my blog out, I also posted about the boots a little while back :)

    3. Hi all,
      I just received my pair in black from ebay (thanks so much for posting the links!:) and they look amazing in person! The only thing is they have a very strong smell when you take them out of the box, so I'm hoping that goes away...did anyone else notice that and did it go away after wearing them? I'm thinking it's just because they've probably been in a box for awhile and need to "breathe" haha...other than that, they are perfect ;)

    1. Hi Jolene! Thanks for posting this site - they looks EXACTLY like the original (and I've been totally coveting the susanna boots but reluctant to spend the money). Will you let us know some more details about the shoes that you got? I tried searching info about jennifer market online and couldn't really find anything - kind of sketchy. Let me know!
