Shoe bags are more useful than you think. Not only do they protect your shoes in your suitcase, but they also protect your clothes from your shoes (stiletto heel + chiffon = one very large tear). These ones from Bags With Style are the best I've found in a long time. They have fleece-lined compartments to keep the shoes safe from scratches, and come in various styles - from classic drawstring bags to totes with handles for everyday (you know those women who go to work in trainers and change in the lift- they need these!). Small bags are $39, totes are $45 and boot bags are $49. They all come in a range of funky fabrics with matching accessories.
