Dolce & Gabbana Slingback Suede Wedge vs Aldo Trentinara

Saw these wedges at Aldo ION a couple of days ago. Just had to take a picture because it reminded me of Dolce & Gabbana's slingback suede wedge platforms.

These Aldo's are called Trentinara and retail at SGD199. A bit pricey but definitely more affordable than the D&G.

Aldo Shoes has been churning out more cool shoes of late. But then maybe it's just me. My impression of Aldo Shoes has always been a place for when you need those black pumps-type office shoes or when you're looking for strappy formal shoes. Well, that's definitely not my impression now.

The Calcagni and Sandidge pictured above are two styles I've recently liked from Aldo. Simple black wedges with rubber soles -- what's not to love?

Look what I found on Aldo's website -- a mid-priced alternative to Mr. Man!

It retails for US$100 on Aldo's online shop which is not a very big difference from Jeffrey Campbell's Mr. Man at US$150. So whatever price range you can afford, this style can definitely be yours.

Aldo Felicetti Wedge Platform

Here's another take on the wedge platform so popular this season: Aldo's Felicetti wedge platform sandals. According to their website:

Rock this season's wedge platform trend with these sexy two-piece sandals. Smooth leather upper with crisscross front straps and adjustable ankle tie.

I have previously blogged about the different wedge platforms that came out, from the Miracle Wedge by Jeffrey Campbell to the Brenda Platform Sandals by Joe's Jeans - both in likeness to the original Celine sandal clogs. Since these shoes are not available locally (as far as I know, at least), I haven't tried them on so I can't personally say anything about their quality and comfort level.

P.S: Most fashion bloggers have commented that the Brenda platforms are comfy and that Jeffrey Campbell always makes high quality shoes.

Now as for Aldo's Felicetti, I saw a pair in the Aldo store and tried them on. They are comfortable with the leather straps soft enough to feel great against your feet. I also love the color of the cognac, a perfect brown shoe to add to your wardrobe. It retails at US$90 from the online Aldo shop for the cognac while the black is on sale online at US$36. Both are SG$155 at the local Aldo store.
