Back in February the entire world fell in love with a glitzy pair of boots that hit the Yves Saint Laurent catwalk during Paris Fashion Week.

The dazzling Swarovski-embellished boots quickly caught onto the fashion circuit.

Just four days later - despite being part of the brand's autumn/winter 2017 collection - Ri hanna bagged herself a pair.

Head-over-heels for the her new kicks, Rihanna uploaded an image to her Instagram with the caption ‘I love YSL'.

Months later, we are still dreaming of getting our hands on a pair of the slouchy shoe, which have now hit trend status.

In fact, they are proving so popular that the French fashion house even reinvented them for its SS18 collection. This time giving the knee-high's a fluffy twist, creating high fashion yeti boots that are equally as jaw-dropping.

Although the diamante dream boots have now finally hit stores, they retail for a astonishing £6,885 a pop - beyond what most of our budgets will allow.

So, we've compiled a list of affordable alternatives that are full of just as much pizzazz.
