8 Nine West Shoe Brand Alternatives to find in Canada & Abroad

8 Nine West Shoe Brand Alternatives to find in Canada & Abroad

So here in The North, all Nine West Canada shoes fans were pretty distraught when the brand filed for bankruptcy in the US.  And subsequently shut their doors in Canada.

After this happened, many asked themselves where they would ever find pumps, sandals & the occasional über trendy shoe of similar quality, comfort & fit, going forward.

That being said, THEY CAME BACK! So yes, Nine West Canada is back in the county. You can from Amazon Canada and directly from ninewestcanada.com.

However, why not breakdown some alternatives in case you don't find what you want from the brand.

So here are a vew Nine West shoe brand alternatives from which you can buy your new shoes 🙂  

Nine West Canada Shoe Shopping Alternatives

So to cope, let's look at some brands that a rather comparable, both in quality & design to that which was Nine West. Below you will see some familiar fashion & shoe brands that you may even own (I know I do!).

All of the shoe brands mentioned can be found in Canada, US & beyond. I've linked in-post & via shoppable widgets, to direct you where to specific styles and brands. I've also highlighted a few styles that are comparable to popular Nine West ones.

Sam Edelman Womens Shoes

I've owned a few Sam Edelman shoes & I've always found them to be on-trend & made of sturdy materials. The few styles I've bought from them fit my narrow foot well, just like my Nine West ones.

Sam Edelman's current Fall/Winter collection is full of gems, many reminiscent of past Nine West styles as well as those that were to be coming in store in Canada for Fall 2018.

You will find basic pointed toe pumps in a ton of colors and materials, leopard print designs and similar booties that you'd expect from the now defunct brand.

There are also a few quirky styles that Nine West had gotten so good at creating. And the price point is pretty much bang on to what NW used to be priced at! 

Current Sam Edelman collection shoe highlights include the scallopped Odila sandal, Gucci-inspired Lior Loafers (tons of prints, fabrics & colors!) & the Hazel pointy pump which looks almost identical to the beloved NW Martina pump. And lots more of course!

Vince Camuto

I also have personal experience with Vince Camuto women's shoes. They've been around for a long time and their styles are both classic &  up to date while often offering more trendy styles.

Franco Sarto 

Funny enough, my first pair of shoes bought from Nine West were Franco Sarto shoes. They used to carry the brand and they're a good sturdy one with a great many shoe types to choose from.

The Franco Sarto and Sarto by Franco Sarto brands have some fun loafers, basic pumps, classic booties & a few feathery styles that remind me of last year's NW holiday collection!

MICHAEL Michael Kors

The more affordable MICHAEL Michael Kors line is a great contender as well. You will definitely find your suede or leather pointed pumps, leather boot basics & more from this powerhouse brand. They also have some cute sneaker styles.

Prices are similar, sometimes higher to that of Nine West, however, cost can vary quite dramatically between styles.

Chinese Laundry

I have a few Chinese Laundry shoes and I'm particularly smitten with their Kristen Cavallari designed line. The pricing of the regular Chinese Laundry is roughly 20%  less than what Nine West used to be, mostly because they often use imitation leathers/suedes in the uppers.

The Kristin Cavallari X Chinese Laundry is more expensive. You can find both casual & dressy/sexy shoe styles from each of the lines. I've linked to my current faves from the brand, below.

Halogen

Almost identical pricing as that of NW, Halogen offers a great number of styles similar to the 9 West brand choices. Some solid suede staples, along with streamlined loafers & a variety of leopard print and studded shoe options are offered. 


Shop Halogen Shoes at Nordstrom:


Dolce Vita

With a slightly higher price point & with more country vibes, Dolce Vita makes fabulous looking shoes. With a focus on mules, studs & western styles with does of rock ‘n roll this season, they're a slight departure from styles in the Nine West vein.

However still a viable shoe brand alternative if you're looking for something a little different. Because chance can sometimes be a good thing!

Steve Madden 

Steve Madden is a direct competitor to NW that's been around for a lifetime. The shoe brand most notable for its designer copycats supplies both classic heel with statement shoes. Nordstrom carries a slew of the brand's styles every season.

Almost the exact price as Nine West was, although depends really on the style. you will definitely like the Daisy pointy-toe pump (so many colours, prints & textures!), Soph minimal stiletto sandals &  the chunky heeled Carrson sandals!  


Shop Steve Madden Shoes for Women:


I hope these few brands listed above will satisfy your shoe related urges for the next season (or 10!).

Maybe a few more fashion-forward brands will convince you to try something a little different. Nothing wrong with a little style evolution!

And remember, if you're itching for a Nine West shoe, you can snag them from Amazon Canada & ninewestcanada.com!

Are there any fashion shoe brands you'd recommend instead of Nine West that I may have missed?

Nine West had two stores here, one of them literally just down the street. It won't be the same without them.

Yeah, it's been a weird feeling for me not having the brand around. :(
