Measuring just 4 ft 8 in (1.42 m), Nicole Polizzi—aka Snooki—seems to be trying to create her own signature look. Since early December, the “Jersey Shore” star has worn heel-less shoes to every photo op.

Last Thursday’s latest leg of her “Snooki Couture” fragrance promotion tour was no different. The really short American-Chilean television personality again opted to wear heel-less shoes to the New York City event.
Snooki’s bold choice of black and gold heel-less platform shoes with T-strap detailing adds a unique edge to her look at the fragrance launch event
She balanced precariously on a brand new pair of gold platforms featuring a black faux-suede T-strap and gold chain detailing.

Given Snooki’s history with Jeffrey Campbell’s heel-less designs, we initially assumed this pair was from the same brand.
Surprisingly, these platform curved wedges are from the affordable shoe brand Liliana. They’re called the “Ahava-4,” and you can find them on Amazon.

By Hollywood standards, Jeffrey Campbell is already considered an inexpensive shoe label, so we were surprised that Snooki’s new heel-less shoes are even cheaper!
Of course, Snooki famously said she’s “very cheap” despite earning a reported $150,000 per episode of Jersey Shore. Her estimated net worth is around $4 million. You have to love a relatable celebrity, right?
For those looking to splurge, more luxurious heel-less options are available, like the stunning Giuseppe Zanotti platforms famously worn by Juliette Binoche and Rita Ora.
