REPLIKATE ROUNDUP Below are my favourite repliKates of the week ... REPLIKATE REVIEW A few weeks back, Melanie asked if I knew of any wide-calf repliKates for the Aquatalia 'Rhumba' boots.

The first pair she received from the company were slightly damaged but they quickly sent out a new pair and Melanie loves them! She says they are "true to size, gorgeous, comfortable and I believe would transition from work to play easily".
