Remember these?
They’re Louise Goldin’s shoe collection for Topshop, and we showed you some pictures of the original design a few months ago. Well, those of you who loved them will be pleased to know that they’re now available, both in-store and online, but probably not for long: there are a lot of shoe-lovers out there who’ve been eagerly awaiting this release, so if you’re one of them, we’d recommend acting fast, before they sell out and then pop up on eBay for twice the price.
As for the price, these will set you back £150 per pair: get them here.

Hey, anyone remember Slinky?
These bracelet sandals (“Brandals”?) By Sigerson Morrison are basically what it would look like if you tried to wear Slinky on your legs. Don’t try that at home kids: at least the sandals come with a zip up the back of the leg, to save you spending hours of your life trying to get into them. There is, however, a downside to the “brandal”. In fact, there are three:
1. TAN LINES. Do we even have to say it? And not just tan lines, either: if you’ve ever removed a pair of socks, say, and found the imprint of the elastic in them on your skin, you can probably imagine what your legs would look like when you removed THESE.
2. Is this going to be the gladiator sandal of 2010? Are we going to start seeing these everywhere, on everyone? And how do you feel about that, if so?
3. Now that we take a closer look, we think they look less like a Slinky, and more like the model just put a bunch of hair elastics on her legs. Hmm.
What do you think of these, readers? If you love them, they’re $695 at Neiman Marcus.

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it’s one of Vivienne Westwood’s Rocking Horse shoes, and it’s the subject of our latest Style Challenge, in which we want you to use Polyvore to build an outfit around these shoes. Sounds simple enough, no? Oh. No, you’re right, it doesn’t sound simple, but of course, that’s the whole point!
This Style Challenge was the suggestion of Rock Hyrax and, like her, we’re really curious to see what you’ll make of these shoes (which, by the way, you can buy at My-Wardrobe, if you so desire).
You’ll find the rules under the jump: please take a moment to have a quick look over them before creating your outfit!

 The Ultimate Scrolldown Sometimes it’s good to wear something totally unexpected with that slinky little black dress.
Not this time, though.
(Sadly, we have no idea where you can buy these boots, or who makes them. The dress, however, is by Brian Lichtenberg, and is available at Alex & Chloe.)

With Valentine’s Day fast approaching, we thought you might like to buy a pair of these loveheart-themed platform sandals by Marc Jacobs from The Outnet, for £211.50 (down from the original £705).
Or perhaps you’d prefer to rip your eyes from your head, douse them thoroughly in eyeball bleach, and never speak of these shoes again?
The choice is yours, ladies and gentlemen of the Fashion Police jury: what’s it to be?

Well, we’ve seen it all now. We thought the boots-pretending-to-be-shoes (and socks) situation was as bad as it was ever going to get, but once Ugg enter the equation, you know you’re up against a fashion criminal to be reckoned with. Ugg do, of course, have many prior convictions, but even they had yet to experiment with the “look, it’s a sock, whoops, no, it’s a boot!” thing, so these Argyle knitted boots came as a bit of a shock to us when we uncovered them this morning. These aren’t actually pretending to be shoes, of course, so you may well feel we should let them off on a technicality, but those Argyle legs are definitely reminiscent of thick, winter socks.
Are these better or worse than Ugg’s usual offerings, though? If you find them better by far, they’re £135 at My-Wardrobe.

 Our sister site, Shoeperwoman, spotted Katy Perry wearing Dolce & Gabbana’s crystal studded pumps as she hosted the Waking Up in Vegas party at Haze Nightclub this week. Katy wore the shoes with a very shiny mini dress complete with handkerchief hem and cowl beck. Shoes aside, this reminds us of the kind of things girls used to wear to go clubbing in the 90s, but that could just be us, of course: what do you think?

We’ve always loved Valentino: the shoes, the dresses – everything really, but let’s be honest: it’s mostly about the shoes.
Lately, though, the brand has branched out a bit, into the realm of shoes that look like they could be doing with a good trim. First we had Camilla Belle’s out-of-control ruffle shoes, and now we find these court shoes, which have a large amount of lace running riot all over them.
Well, it’s certainly an interesting niche for Valentino to decide to occupy, but as these cost $6,216, we’re just not sure there’s going to be a huge amount of demand for it. What do you think?

Anyone want to wear a pair of plain old court shoes, with some chunky ankle socks attached to them? No? What if we told you they were by Dolce & Gabbana? OK, well, what if they were bright purple? Still not convinced? What if they were reduced to £149 in the sale? Would you buy them THEN? Or would you continue to uphold one of The Fashion Police’s founding creeds: that shoes and socks should not be stuck together. Or any other items, come to think of it.
If you disagree, however, these are waiting for you now over at Yoox.com.

We loved these nude and black Giuseppe Zanotti sandals when we first spotted them on Drew Barrymore last year, but at $650 they just weren’t destined to ever join us here at the HQ. These ‘Rae’ sandals from Topshop, however, give us a strong sense of deja vu: the colours, shape and zipped back are all the same, although there are various differences on the straps and a slightly chunkier heel. They’re also significantly cheaper than the Giuseppe Zanotti shoes, at £60. Also available in an all-black upper, these are available from Topshop.
