We love a luxury splurge as much as the next shopper, but what we love even more is a steal worth writing about. Luckily, you don't need a superstar budget for a superstar rotation of high heels this summer – you just need an Amazon Account.

We're sharing our favorite designer dupe heels to ace every summer footwear trend, and some are even on sale already ahead of Prime Day.
These dupes touch every leading footwear trend for summer, from jewel-embellishments, to strappy sandals, to colorful Pucci-esque prints. Trends aside, we have some classics too: iconic silhouettes reminiscent of Valentino's legendary Rockstud pump or Gucci's horsebit slides are utterly timeless and, the best part, no one besides you will know the difference.
Gihubafuil Peep Toe Slides Sandals
Horsebit motifs are synonymous with that of Gucci and Hermes, that gold hardware detail is innately luxe and unmistakably cool. This Amazon find channels that same luxury feel in a peep-toe silhouette with a block heel that makes walking easy. At 48% off, this is a steal even stars would approve of.
Oakmoo Women's Jeweled Thong Strappy Sandal
You may have noticed that jeweled sandals are hot this summer with designers like Gianvito Rossi embellishing flip flops with large, colorful stones. While a designer pair will run you over a thousand dollars, these thong sandals offer the same exact vibe, but under $50.
Goolita Women's Suede Sequin Kitten Heels

Goiphrri Store Wedge Sandals
