Fall's Sexiest Shoes

Some people might think that the sexiest shoes come out in the springtime. And who can blame them? After all, it's hard to debate the overall sex appeal of a strappy sandal with a three inch heel. But that doesn't mean that we should all start belittling the alluring offerings of colder season kicks.

I'm of the opinion that luxe fabrics, good design and unique embellishments can more than make up for a lack of skin. And this fall's offering of shoes certainly does not disappoint. Between the boots, the heels, the platforms, and yes, the flats, we're well on our way to stealing the title of "Sexiest Shoe Season" from the warm-weathered spring.

Here are a few of our favorites:

Jimmy Choo Eleven leopard print pumps
What could be more sexy than leopard print and a sweet little heel? While many people might be put off by the busy leopard pattern, this shoe is actually extremely wearable. Pair them with black, white, denim, camel, or red and you are ready to go. Hot to trot, if you will.



Miu Miu Velvet jewel shoes

As far as shoes go, flats tend to get shafted when it comes to their sex appeal. But sexy doesn't have translate into a three inch heel. If you substitute the stiletto for a luxurious fabric like a rich velvet, flat shoes can be just as desirable as their taller siblings. Slip on these bejeweled shoes, and everyone will notice.

J.Crew Melrose High Boots

Many a man has told me that a woman in knee high boots is his favorite part of the winter months. I don't know whether it's the way a boot draws your eye upward, or if it's the patch of knee that pokes out between the boot and the hem of the skirt, but whichever is all the more reason not to resist. And the kitten heel? They don't call them sex kittens for nothing, do they?




Moschino Cheap & Chic Charm Pump

With this navy blue, brushed suede shoe by Moschino Cheap & Chic, you can give them an eyeful without showing much at all. Peep-toe says it all, doesn't it?






Louis Vuitton Shiny Calf Leather Pump
I'm not one to mess with conventions. Black leather pumps with a sky-high heel is the quintessential sexy shoe. This shiny pump by Louis Vuitton is no exception. With a four-inch heel and a pointy toe, this is a shoe for a woman who means business.





Miss Sixty Leather Fold Over Boot
Slouchy can be sexy, too, my friends. When matched with a pair of skinny jeans or a fall wool skirt, these boots by Miss Sixty breathe confidence. And what is sexier than that?

The Louis Vuitton shiny calf leather pump has to be the one of the sexiest shoes ever. Simple yet carries an uummhh!!! The picture would be a lot better being worn by a woman.

Louis Vuitton is for losers. Anyone who is spending that kind of money on those pathetic accessories needs to do some self evaluation.

Love that you've paired the shoes with a bit of an idea on what to wear them with. That's always my problem...such cute shoes that I'm just not sure what to wear.

If I had the kind of money it takes to buy shoes like these, I wouldn't be spending it on shoes! I've got MUCH better things to be spending my $$ on than what's on my feet. Get a life! Spend that money on something that will make a difference in the world, and go to Pay Less for your shoes!

Shoes like that are absurd. Think what it's doing to your healthy feet - ruining them.

I like the shoes listed, but especially the boots. This is a good section to have: trends. I like columns like this because in my case, I don't often have the time to look through magazines to find out what the trends are...I'm too tired at the end of the day to do that.

Haha well I don't really like pointy or open-toed heels so these aren't really for me I guess.


I see alot of women that look amazing in shoes like that though.
