Most Expensive Women’s Shoes…(1st part)

          Without those glass slippers, Cinderella would still be sweeping the fireplace, and Prince Charming would be in the middle of a nasty divorce from one of her step-sisters. Deprived of her bejeweled pumps, Dorothy would be stranded in Oz. And the old lady who lived in her shoe? Well, she probably would have been better off investing in real estate than in a broken-down old boot…

Manolo Blahnik 14,000 Famous for excruciatingly high heels and similarly painful price points, Manolo Blahnik nevertheless inspires cult-like dedication among his customers. He even does bridal shoes, though we don’t recommend the alligator boots for anything matrimonial–unless it’s a bachelorette party. The $14,000 pair is available at Manolo Blahnik’s West 54th Street boutique in New York. For more information, call (212) 582-3007.
	Louis Vuitton $4,500 In 1854, Louis Vuitton opened his first store in Paris. A century and a half later, the luxurious French luggage maker is known for far more than his signature monogrammed trunks and purses, and these Vienna Minimalisa High Boots in ostrich leather prove it. The boots are part of Louis Vuitton’s Fall/Winter 2005/06 collection. For more information, call 866 VUITTON or visit www.louisvuitton.com .
Chanel $2,875 Chanel’s timeless shoe collection includes everything from outrageously red strappy sandals with the double C logo emblazoned on the front, to demure quilted ballet flats. These alligator and lambskin pumps, from Chanel’s Cruise 2006 collection, walk the middle ground. While appropriate for the office, they could easily take you from lunch to the shops to dinner on a Saturday. For more information, call (800) 550-0005 or visit www.chanel.com .
	Ferragamo $2,390 Salvatore Ferragamo believed that the arch of the foot was one of the most important parts of the body, as it supported the entire body’s weight. The Italian designer brought this philosophy to bear on every pair of shoes he created, and the company, still family-owned, carries on today in the same tradition. The crocodile Avila shoes pictured above are from the Ferragamo Spring/Summer 2006 collection. Hoping to save a few bucks? The same pair is available in ostrich for $865. For more information, call (800) 628-8916 or visit www.ferragamo.com .
Roger Vivier $2,195 Roger Vivier, the brand that now shares an owner with Hogan and Tod’s, made the shoes the Catherine Deneuve wore in Belle du Jour in 1967. Today, the designs remain as classy and restrained as ever, with a giant satin rose as close to ostentatious as this shoe gets. The prices, however, are a bit bolder. For more information, call 011 331 5343 0000 or visit www.rogervivier.com .
