Luxury Rebel Kai Suede Platform Booties
These new suede wedge booties vibe way more expensive than their $150, and have a construction that you'd normally find with a pricier shoe. The overall package? A 100% steal.

The Luxury Rebel Kai Suede Platform Bootie is made from a cowhide suede upper with a leather sole. The round toe and covered wedge heel is nearly unadorned, except for the exposed back zipper with suede-covered pull. The 4.5" heel is tempered by a substantial 1" platform, resulting in the feel of a mere 3.5" heel. This suede design comes in the rich grey pictured here -- called "Tank" -- as well as a sleek black suede. This same silhouette is available from Luxury Rebel in a black cowhide leather as well, but doesn't feel nearly as special without the suede texture.

Wear this suede bootie with your favorite jeans this fall -- it's a natural pairing. If you are feeling a little funky, try these wedge booties with a skirt or dress. Just remember to pre-treat your suede to prevent stains (and be sure to check out our tutorial on how to clean suede shoes)!
