Who would say no to designer goods? Almost every trendsetter dreams of wearing a luxury item—whether it be clothes, bags, or shoes—designed by her favorite fashion designer. Moreover, seeing how good celebrities and fashion icons look in designer clothes makes us want to copy their style and splurge on the exact same thing they’re wearing.

While there’s so much to love about designer goods, like the high-quality materials and craftsmanship, there’s one thing we surely hate the most about them: prices.

Luxury designer goods come with hefty price tags, which are a major deal-breaker especially for fashionistas on a tight budget. Also, if you’re attending a special occasion, spending a fortune on brand new designer items that you’ll only wear once is not practical.

This is why we’re grateful for rental services. There are surprisingly a good number of websites that allow us to rent luxury items, including designer shoes! Instead of buying pricey heels at the risk of being cheated, you can simply rent them at a fraction of the cost. Not only will it save you money, but it will also help save the environment.

According to reports, the fashion industry accounts for about 10% of all greenhouse gas emissions and nearly 20% of wastewater. It is for this reason that most award shows today are attempting to be more sustainable.

Below is a list of websites that offer shoe rental services. The next time you get invited to a wedding, a formal gathering, a special event, or a party, you can wear your dream shoes without breaking the bank.
