Gladiator Boots gone wild??

I know the Gladiator look in shoe fashion is all the rage since Sex and The City made women’s mouths drool everywhere, but I’m truly dubious about these Givenchy Gladiator boots.

Without a doubt these high heeled Gladiator boots demand a great leg, and a “I don’t give a damn” kind of attitude–don’t you think?

Just looking at these extreme boots makes my legs itchy and sweaty. Sorry Givenchy, I for one would pass on these gladiator gone mad boots.

The buzz around ‘heelsville’ these days is that purple is the color to have for your shoes this fall. Carlos Santana is paying heed to this mantra apparently, with these sexy heels which of course are available in purple!

I love the strap– sexy and adjustable–what more could a girl ask for? And Carlos is not kidding around–this heel is 4 inches which is a high heel at it’s finest!

These Carlos Santana Heels also come in black and silver, but to be in sync with Fall fashion, I suggest you spend the $100.00 these sexy shoes cost, and get the exquisite purple!

“Live with Regis and Kelly” held its first-ever athletic competition: REGIS AND KELLY’S HIGH HEEL-A-THON, a 150-yard dash in New York City’s Central Park. But there was a twist– all participants in the event were required to wear high-heeled shoes during the competition, with a minimum of a 3-inch heel. Five hundred women, including “Live” co-host Kelly Ripa, entered the contest, which brought in $60,000 for the March of Dimes and which aired on today’s “Live with Regis and Kelly” broadcast.

Contestants also got a chance to win a highly coveted “Nivea Best Legs Award”. Legs were judged based on certain criteria: shape, beauty, tone, proportion, and strut. Strut?? Anyway, 22 year old Krista Keuchel from Tulsa was deemed the contestant with the best legs– and just check out the size of the trophy Keuchel was presented with today on Live With Regis and Kelly!

Where on earth would you put a trophy that size??

Are these not cute? Mary Jane takes on a sexy sheen with these shoes by Two Lips. The red patent leather is hot, in my humble opinion, but if it isn’t your favorite, the shoe also comes in white, yellow and black. While stilletos are sexy and glamorous, these chunky 3 1/2 inch heels are fabulous in their own right!

Zappos has these fun Mary Janes from Two Lips for $83.00. A fun shoe for a fairly fun price!

An interesting survey by the women’s website, Handbag.com revealed that a large number of women said that wearing black high heels by designer Christian Louboutin makes them feel sexier. Experts have also said that the red-soled shoes by Louboutin are the most likely heels to get a man’s attention.

Celebrities Gwyneth Paltrow, who sported a pair at the Iron Man premiere in New York, Angelina Jolie, Posh Spice and Sex and the City’s Kristin Davis, are some of the most faithful fans of Christian Louboutin’s shoes, and countless women all over either own at least one pair of the famous high heels, or have a goal to own a pair one day!

“The classic black heels by Christian Louboutin are women’s favourite shoes to make them feel sexy. Wearing them makes women feel more attractive – and also more likely to catch a man’s eye. So donning these designer heels could lead to better sex and far more of it,” the Sun quoted Handbag.com fashion editor Belinda White, as saying.

And what does infamous shoe designer Cristian Louboutin say about his highly coveted heels?

Louboutin admits that he crafts heels to “slow women down and give them a sexier gait”.

Actress Natalie Portman has a cruelty-free line of shoes for specialty retailer Té Casan, with 100% of the proceeds benefiting The Nature Conservancy, an organization dedicated to ecological protection.

“As a vegan, it’s been challenging finding designer shoes made of alternative materials, says Portman. “This collection offers a great selection without compromising quality or style.”

Have you checked out Natalie Portman’s vegan shoe line yet? I don’t have any stand out favorites, but these Petra heels are pretty cute and stylish in their simplicity.

If you haven’t seen Portman’s shoe collection yet, head over to Te Casan and check them out!

What do you think of these colorful heels from Naughty Monkey? If you want to make an impression, I think these “High Tea” Naughty Monkey heels will do the trick!

The 4 inch heel is covered in natural woven raffia, and textured fabric give this shoe a great espadrille look and feel.

Hmm..maybe paired with some white pants and a cute blouse? What do you think…too much color or just right for summer fun?

The “Berkeley T-Strap” high heeled sandal from Michael Kors is stylish and sexy for hot summer parties. The metal zipper is a design that I think sets the shoe apart from others.

These high heeled sandals come in black patent and a fun black mesh color as well, but I think the pale gray shown here is the best as far as versatility goes.

You can buy these sleek high heels at Zappos for $133.00– Not bad.

OMG–these go right to the top of the list for Friday Favorites. Boots have always been my achilles heel–I love almost every pair I see. Now come these fantastic high heeled boots from Gucci. I am in love.

These Gucci Devendra Boots are made in Italy, feature a 4 inch heel, are suede with Gucci Crest ornaments, fringe detail and studs.

Available at Saks, these amazing Gucci High Heeled Boots are a mere $1250.00. But make a note, the Saks website states that

“DUE TO POPULAR DEMAND, A CUSTOMER MAY ORDER NO MORE THAN THREE UNITS OF THIS ITEM EVERY THIRTY DAYS.”

Drat.
