We HAD thought light-up shoes were a strictly novelty value/children only kind of thing, but apparently we were wrong. Apparently heels that light up are now ALSO a $2,495 designer shoe kinda thing, too. Who knew?

These sandals are Jimmy Choo, and, like the light-up sneakers little kids wear, the soles and heels will light up every time you step on them. They didn’t find much favour with Shoeperwoman, but will they find favour with The Fashion Police readers? If they do, you can buy yourself a pair at Saks.

Hot & Cold

You know those days when your feet are really hot, but your ankles are f-f-freezing?

Um, no, we don’t either. Someone out there is clearly having that very problem, though, and luckily for that person (or people, even), Koolaburra have come up with the solution: a thong sandal with a shearling cuff to keep your ankles nice and toasty.

If that sounds like exactly what you’ve been waiting for, they’re $140 at Neiman Marcus.

Two shoes, both alike in … OK, maybe not dignity, exactly, but both alike in terms of the fact that they’re both black, both slingbacks, and both come with a little black bow in exactly the same place.

Where they differ, meanwhile, is in the fabric of the uppers, and the price on the box. The shoes on the left are from ASOS.com (they also come in nude and pink), and are £30, while the ones on the right are by Moschino, and are £250. Which would you choose, though? Would you save or splurge, or perhaps you’d prefer to keep your money safely in your pocket and buy neither?

Ouch to the Slouch

Floral slouch clogs: now there’s three words you don’t often want to see in the same product description, do you?

Add the phrase “peep toe” to that, and we think these Irregular Choice boots are looking at some serious time in the Fashion Police slammer, but what do YOU think? Do you want to plead their innocence before we come to take them away? Speak now, readers, or forever hold your peace…

[Thanks to Elizabeth for the report!]

Why settle for one heel on your shoes when you can have two? And yes, we know the image above shows three heels, but the shoes actually only come with two: the middle heel, which is the one you walk on, and another, detachable heel, which can be attached in either of the other two positions shown.

So, what do you think? Have you been secretly wishing designers would ditch the boring old “one heel per shoe” strategy they’ve worked with all these long years, or do you think these just look like mutants?

They’re by Acne, and they’re £570 – get them here.

Tao’s white shoes netted by Fashion Police


Oh, what a relief! We thought we were going to have to mobilize our officers and send them out to catch these shoe criminals, but it looks like someone’s done it for them, and has captured them in a net, ready for us to cart off to jail.

Unless… wait: that net is part of the shoe, isn’t it? Ah. Our mistake. Looks like we’re going to be needing those officers after all…

Who’s wearing Louis Vuitton shoes?

Which model showed up at the Love Ball last night in these Louis Vuitton shoes? Visit our Celebrity Spy section to find out!

Plastic rats. On plastic shoes. Is it a marriage made in heaven, do you think, or is it more of a marriage made in the deepest, darkest depths of the Fashion Police jail?

We’re going to go with the latter option. Sorry, ratties – we have nothing against you in real life, but when you’re made of plastic and you’re clinging onto our equally-plastic shoes, we’re probably going to find you pretty easy to resist.

What about you, readers? Want to spend $100 on these? You can do it here.

OK, forget those Police Shoes we showed you earlier this month, The Fashion Police have a new weapon in our continuing fight against crimes of fashion: these Giuseppe Zanotti court shoes, complete with a “holster” for our (crystal-encrusted) bullets:

The only problem is, if we actually go out on patrol in these, we’d fully expect to be stopped and questioned by the REAL police, so maybe we’ll just leave these to the rest of you. Would you wear them, though? If you would, they’re $603 at Colette.

Ever since Alexa Chung appeared on the cover of UK Vogue’s March issue, one thing was clear: clogs were on the way back “in”.

Is this a good thing or a bad thing, we ask ourselves? Well, we’ve never really been huge fans of the clog, but at the same time, we wouldn’t slap these particular ones in jail either, so you could say we’re on the fence on this one.

What we DEFINITELY wouldn’t do, though, is pay Chanel prices for shoes like this. So it’s a good job we don’t have to, because if we did suddenly decide we couldn’t last one more day without a pair of Alexa-like heeled clogs on our hooves, at least we know ASOS are selling these ones for £85. No, they’re not Chanel, and nor do they look it, but if you really like this look, at least they’ll save you a bit of money.

What do you think of clogs?
