To me 2009 was the year for Shoes. Shoe Designers have taken shoes to a level that I think was unexpected. Sex and the City may have had something to do with kicking off the shoe craze. Prior to Sex and the City I was a Stuart Weitzman devotee and satisfied.
Then Manolo Blahnik burst on the scene – AND Jimmy Choo became a household name. Christian Louboutin has taken it to another level. Shoes are super fun and super high. But as The Shoe Gal stated, “height doesn’t matter with a well-made shoe.
Christian Louboutin opened his first shop in Paris in 1992, and Manolo Blahnik’s first shop has been on the scene since 1972 and Jimmy Choo in 1996, and it seems the shoe frenzy started in the new century. I know I am Tardy to the Party, but I am there now!
Love this Christian Louboutin in the HOT color for Fall = this one tooo
I especially liked that this shoe 
also came as a shootie.
Jimmy Choo looking good from all sides!
I mean all sides!
Dior had 
several shoes that had fabulous gold stiletto
heels.
These are some of my favorite shoes for 2009. I am gathering the pictures for my favorite boots for 2009. Each pair of shoes on this page costs over $500 and none of them came with a Heel Shield which I think is a shame. Heel Shields are a good companion for suede and light colored shoes. Driver’s Black Heel on any of these shoes would be a shame and so easily prevented.
