Like I said, I went off to hunt for shoes that were similar to the Givenchy Studded Booties. At first I started by limiting my search to boots with studded heels, but that didn’t work out too well. I still had the tarnished gold star studs on the Givenchys on my mind and to me, nothing will top those.
I decided to shift direction and instead look for boots that had the overall fierce appeal of the Givenchy ones. My only criteria was that it had to be a pair of boots that can replace the Givenchy booties on Jennifer Hudson’s feet and did not change how her outfit looked.
This time, my search was successful – not only did I stumble upon pages and pages of boots that are making my brain think “I must have them NOW”, but a lot of them are going for a song. Thank god for shopping deals and bargains websites like Overstock.com and 6pm.com!
Here are my picks of those boots that I came across. No, they’re no exactly like the stars and spikes on the Givenchys, but each studded boot’s got a personality of it’s own. And it’s what you wear with them that matters right?
10 studded boot alternatives to the Givenchy Studded Booties:

How would you style these studded boots? Would you wear them sleek and chic like Jennifer Hudson wore her Givenchy booties or would you go totally quirky and offbeat like the grey sweats and blue socks girl?
