Those north of the border provide some inspiration for these tartan McQueen shoes. But studded spikes on the heel take them from a brief highland fling to polished up punk. The sculpted slipper front of the shoe and heavy treads are the details that might seem simple but really make this shoe.

These Christian Louboutin shoes are bringing a bit of sass from the boudoir onto the streets.

Vibrant red shaggy pom poms adorn the entire front of the shoe with that flash of sexy red sole peeking out from under the fur. If you don't wiggle when you walk in these then something just ain't right.

It's refreshing that Mr Lagerfeld knows that sometimes we don't feel up to tottering around at great heights in a heel.

A solid tan boot with fluffy inserts is just what we're after as the cold weather arrives (did it ever really leave?). These are the AW11 preview from Chanel.
