... but not just any ankle strap sandals.

A few weeks ago, in need of some stress relief, I strolled into Saks Fifth Avenue and quickly found my feet slipping into the most perfect, most insanely flattering sandals EVER.

After taking a test run around 10022-SHOE, the Choos began to give me heart palpitations in the best way–they were comfortable too.

Needless to say, It took literally everything in my will power NOT to take these guys home. And naturally, ever since, I've been obsessing over unearthing a more *reasonable* alternative.

Okay–level with me. Do any of these affordable pairs really compare???
