Target is selling a $35 sandal dupe for Alias Mae’s $200 leather slide

Target’s latest sandal release is flying off shelves thanks to its uncanny similarity to the $200 Alias Mae leather slide.

The Maia Double Band Slides cost only $35, however they’re almost ‘impossible’ to get since fashionistas across Australia started snapping them up and raving about them online.

The slide is the latest in a line of Targets fan favourite cheap designer knock-offs.

The popular double banded slider comes in white and black and has rave reviews.

‘Really comfortable! Love them! Waited months for them to be available in Sydney. Don’t walk, run!’ one woman said.

‘Great everyday basics. So comfortable and great quality,’ another wrote.

One popular fashion influencer Chelsea Williamson described the slides as the ‘best dupe.’ 

This isn’t the first time Target has released similar styles to trending designer footwear.

Their $22 Maree Moulded Footbed Sandals are a ringer for Birkenstock’s $146 Arizona sandal.

The shoes have been described as an ‘excellent, affordable alternative’ to the branded sandal.

One mum said she prefers the Target version as the foot-bed is softer and the shoe easier to break in.

Target is also due to release a knock-off of the viral Birkenstock Boston, a $270 clog that has become so popular this season that it’s almost impossible to get.

Another fan favourite is Targets $35 braided sandal, which fans have compared to the $80 Ravella version.

The trending sandals are currently available in black, pink and white in Target stores, but stock is selling quickly.

Target’s mock Saint Laurent espadrille are a long-standing favourite, and at only $35, they are $800 cheap than the designer sandal.

‘Love these shoes. So comfortable. I wish I got more than one pair!’ one woman said.

‘Super comfy to chuck on, great for work! If you’re thinking about purchasing definitely purchase,’ another wrote.

Fans have also been raving about the Target’s $35 Melania Toe Loop Roman Sandals.

The shoe has been compared to Billini’s popular $90 Zinnia shoe.

The roman sandal is available in black and cream, and fans are urging people to ‘run’ to Target as they are always sold out.

Target is also selling this summers trending summer poolside slider for $22, and it has been compared to Dazie’s $70 poolside slide in towelling material.

Targets $15 Sage IV Suede Scuff Slippers also have excellent reviews, and have been compared to Aussie favourite Ugg’s $80 sheepskin slippers.

‘So cozy, wear them every day, even my mum stole them while she was visiting, about to buy her a pair,’ one woman wrote.

However some people said the ‘fluff went everywhere,’ and others said they wear out quickly.
