Do we even need to ask: Valentino or Paris Hilton?

An email in our inbox caught our eye today, the subject line simply said “Valentino or Paris Hilton?” and our first thought was – do we even need to ask?

Ask me any day, any time and Valentino would win hands down.

But what if the shoes are practically identical with their d’Orsay style, peep-toe and bow adorning the vamp – except that the Hilton pumps have similar red soles to a pair of Christian Louboutin’s. While spending $695 on a pair of designer heels may be out of the question for many women, would you go and spend $93 on a pair of shoes baring Paris Hilton’s name?

Which would you chose, the Valentino Patent d’Orsay pumps which retails at $695 or the Paris Hilton Senorita pump which retails at $93?
