It is not just an urban legend that women will continue to think of the shoe that got away long after the chance for purchase has passed. A woman will look at an outfit in a store weeks, sometimes months later and think about the "cutest pair of shoes" that would look just perfect with it. And woe to the woman who has the audacity to have actually bought the shoes and had the nerve to wear them in public where you can see how "really cute" they are.



It is a cold, hard fact that women spent almost 17 billion dollars on footwear for fashion between the month of October 2004 and October 2005. Think of all the good that money could do if it were channeled for charity, and not to finance the creation of an even more "cutest pair of shoes."

The Most Expensive Shoes For Women Worldwide

Some of the most expensive shoes that women have been coveting are made by Manolo Blahnik. His shoes become the must have shoes for all metropolitan women even if they live in Yellowstone Park, when they were featured on the popular HBO series Sex In The City. Manolo Blahnick is renowned for his painfully high heels that are accompanied by a similarly painful price tag. I think all women before they become feeble should own a pair of Manolo Blahnik shoes.

Louis Vuitton has been a staple in fine women's footwear since the 1850's. He began by creating the most luxurious luggage that a Frenchman has been known to make, and he is also known for a fine ostrich leather boot as well. This Vienna Minimalisa High Boot can be bought for the cost of $4500.

Shoes by Chanel can be hard to resist. The timeless elegance of his collection has everything for a night out dancing in the hottest clubs to quilted, sedate ballet flats. Chanel's shoes are known to be worn beneath a power suit by day, to take a romantic lunch in the afternoon, and allow you to stroll through the shops in the evening all in the same shoe.

A shoe made by Salvatore Ferragamo is made with the belief that one's arch of the foot is one the most important parts of a person's body because it must support the weight of the entire body. Ferragamo shoes are well worth the expense when you compare the styles and comforts to other shoes carrying an even higher price tag.

Jimmy Choo is said to have the magic touch when it comes to creating the perfect shoe and handbag to make the main fashion statement rather than the clothing and jewelry. I know a lot of women who agree with his sexy approach to modern footwear that seems to transform with a bit of magic a plain old pump into the must have shoe of the season.
