Tokyo Boppers are the true alternative to Vivienne Westwood's Rocking Horse Shoes on an ethical level. They yield the regular price range for handcrafted shoes at ~¥47,000— sometimes lower if secondhand. I got these sandals at ¥3,000.

Rather than the foam sole that's most popular amongst lolitas whom wear this style of shoe, its sole is made from solid rubber and takes street pavement like a champ. The straps are real leather and hugs my foot about as snug as a platform sandal like this can.
