Loeffler Randall shoes have gained a cult following for their effortlessly chic designs, high-quality materials, and timeless appeal. But let’s be honest—they’re pricey. If you love the look of Loeffler Randall but aren’t ready to splurge, you’re in luck! I’ve rounded up the best Loeffler Randall dupes, from the iconic Natalia heels to their stylish ballet flats. Keep reading to find affordable alternatives that won’t break the bank.
The Dune Nappa Hadley Leather Bow Flat Sandals caught my eye early this spring because they looked effortless. They’re a slip-on and casual style, but the bow helps elevate the look and give it a feminine flare. They run just a tad small and narrow, so keep that in mind if you order them.
I also ordered a similar pair from Amazon to compare the two, and I was shocked to realize that I liked this pair of Amazon Bow Sandals better, and they look almost identical. They fit a little wider, which worked better for me, and since they’re more affordable and made with cheaper materials, I felt like they were more comfortable right away versus having to break in genuine leather if I kept the Loefflar Randall pair. So, in this instance, I think the dupes win!
I ordered the Mikel Dune Bow Mid-Heel Sandals recently, and they are truly gorgeous. They’re flattering on the foot, comfortable to walk in, and the perfect heel for every occasion. The toe box is slightly narrow, so that’s my only hangup. I ordered this look for less from Amazon, and while they haven’t arrived yet, I’m hopeful they’ll be good. This is one of the styles of heels I might recommend saving/investing in since the design is timeless and can be worn for so many occasions.
Next on my list to compare were the Natalia Black Platform Bow Heels. I bought the real thing a few years ago, and I’ve absolutely loved them. They’re shockingly comfortable for a heel, and I’m able to wear them for hours on end, which is saying something for heels! (I even wore them for an evening out while pregnant!) But since they’re so pricey, I wanted to find a good look for less, and ordered this black platform bow heel from Amazon. And it’s another amazing dupe. While the material isn’t as nice, they’re very comfortable out of the box. I didn’t wear them for multiple hours of course, but for a similar look to the real thing, I don’t think you can beat this find.
The pair on the top is the Loeffler Randall pair! Amazon is below. Pretty impressive, right?
This pair of Loeffler Randall Rivka Leather Knot Platform Sandals might be my very favorite pair of heels I own. The champagne color is practical for all seasons and events, the platform makes them dressy, and the leather knot is subtle and understated. As a 40-year-old, platform heels need to be extra comfortable if I’m going to wear them all evening and these pass the test.
I haven’t found a perfect dupe for these sandals yet, but here are a few similar looks:
Overall, I think it’s best to stick to the real thing for this style since it’s a style you’ll wear for years.
The Dahlia Pleated Knot Mule with Ankle Strap is one of the shoe styles that I’ve admired for a long time (and arguably the most iconic Loeffler Randall shoes, known for their statement bow, pleated fabric, and romantic vibe). I love the lower heel, the festive bow, and the ankle strap. I appreciate a shorter heel these days for church and dinner, so these are definitely on my wishlist.
But before splurging on the real deal, I ordered this pair of gold bow Amazon heels to see if I liked them. The verdict? I LOVE them. They look just like the real pair online, and since they’re so comfortable, I think I’m just going to keep the affordable pair! While I can’t speak to the real thing, since this is more of a “fun” shoe than something more practical, I’d recommend saving on these rather than splurging.
I’d been considering the Loeffler Randall Theo sandals for about a year, but because they’re a trendier style than some of the shoes above, I held off. I wasn’t sure if platform slides would still be popular this spring, but it turns out they are! I ordered this pair of raffia platform sandals from Amazon, and I feel like they do the trick in terms of the look I was going for. I love that they come in a few different colors (blue is such a fun option).
Since this is a trendy look right now, I would recommend saving on these with the Amazon pair rather than splurging! I have high hopes flatforms will be in for a while, but it’s hard to say. I also like these Starla Crochet Sandals for a similar look that’s less chunky.
I don’t own the Leonie Mesh Flats from Loeffler Randall, but I know they’re a very popular style this spring. I’ve seen them styled with casual straight jeans, dresses, and skirts. I love that they’re such a feminine take on a ballet flat (which is already pretty feminine). If you’ve been eyeing the real pair, let me tempt you with this Amazon ballet flat that looks identical. Since this is another trendy shoe style, you may be better off getting the affordable pair first, seeing how often you wear them, and then deciding if you want to splurge on the Loeffler pair. I also really like this Sam Edelman style for a similar look (and I love how their shoes fit).
If you’re set on owning an authentic pair of Loeffler Randall shoes, here are some tips to make your purchase worthwhile:
While Loeffler Randall shoes are undeniably beautiful, there are plenty of budget-friendly options that give you the same stylish look for less. Whether you’re looking for wedding heels, everyday sandals, or chic boots, these dupes will elevate your wardrobe without the designer price tag!
