Can't afford to splurge? Try these Aileen gladiator sandals from Bakers Shoes for only $79.95. The heel on these is a *little shorter* at 4 3/4 inches, compared to the YSL's 5 1/4 inch heel. They are also available in black. Click here to purchase.

*Update - 6/16/09* - I just had another request for these sandals, so if you missed out on the Bakers version (now sold out, at least online) then here is another option for you!
These Gianni Bini Uptown sandals retail for $98 and are available in both black and tan.
*Update - 5/14/10* - The previous two options for this sandal are no longer available, but I did find another option that retails for $79.95 from Steve Madden. They aren't as close as the previous options, but it is still a great alternative if you're on a budget. This shoe is available in black or blush patent, as well as cream, denim, and leopard. Click on the photo below if you're interested in purchasing.
Reader Ivy emailed this option from Bakers to me, which is another alternative as well. It has a slightly different woven front (but the difference is pretty subtle, I actually missed it the first time I looked!) and retails for $49.99. Click here to purchase.

thank you! these are practically dead ringers - i hope they're more comfortable than they look:)
I bought a pair and they are surprisingly comfy considering they are so tall! I think the platform helps. :)
Bakers now has a new option at under $50!

I just came across a great YSL Tribute Sandal look-alike at jcp for $20. They have been out for a while, so people should act fast...
