The Look for Less - Valentino Rockstud Sandal Dupes

Summer is almost here and it's time to cast aside those warm, cozy boots in favor of some stylish sandals. Are your feet ready? Mine are, and I've got studded sandals on my mind. The Valentino Rockstud sandals are a chic and classic footwear pick for the warm weather months. Although they've been on the fashion scene for many seasons, they are still in high demand because of their elegant studded details and versatility. In addition, there are so many styles of Rockstuds that it's hard to choose a favorite. They come in flip flop, pool slide, block heel, flat, and wedge styles. Dressy or casual, there's a pair for you.

March 31, 2019 update - I bought these Rockstud gladiator sandal dupes pictured below for under $50. They run true to size in length, but if your feet are wide, I'd go half a size up. They comes in many colors and styles, including: black, gold, red, white, rainbow, black patent, thong styles, and mule styles. They have thin soles with light cushioning in the ball of the foot, and the studs look as shiny as the designer versions. They're the best Valentino Rockstud sandal dupes I've seen online.
