Black boots can be boring, but they also tend to be expensive to replace when you fancy a change. These boot wrappers by Freckles n' Fran are designed to give your old boots a new lease of life: they come in a range of prints including cheetah, zebra and polka dot, and slip easily over the top of your boots.
So far, demand for the product has been so high that the company say they're planning to manufacture thousands of the wrappers for this winter. For information on stockists, visit the Freckles n' Fran website.

January is here, and I'm sure you have many high and mighty notions about exercising more, cutting back on chocolate and finally using that gym membership, then along comes a delicious looking pair of choccie stilettos like these that just ruin it all. Made by the Chocolatier Maya we are looking at some high quality chocolate, with a yummy looking mixture of milk and black, and a shoe that I wouldn't mind buying in a store. Everything from the sweet heel to the bow on the front screams delicious, the only problem would be knowing where you take that first bite.

Hands up everyone who got some shoe-related accessories for Christmas this year? These ones are by Juicy Couture, and take the form of cute little charms which can be clipped onto your handbag, or anywhere else you like. There's a sweet pair of ballet slippers, a pretty blue stiletto, a sexy evening shoe and, um, a rather ugly snow boot. Prices are from $30, and if anyone's buying, mine is the high heeled slipper...

We've written about chocolate shoes before, but given that it's almost Christmas, I think we can probably expect to see a few more retailers coming up with gift ideas like this. These ones from Bergdorf Goodman look almost too good to eat: they're made from dark Belgian chocolate with caramel, and there's a handbag as well as shoe to eat. The only problem I can see here is the price - $65 plus £15 shipping? I could buy a pair of real shoes for that much!

If, like me, you have a little bit of an obsession with making sure that the feet you slide into those fabulous party sandals don't shame you into hiding them beneath the table all night, Christmas is probably one of your favourite times of year: not because of all the party sandals (although those are good, too), but because of all of the foot care kits that start to go on sale at this time each year.
River Island are the latest high street footwear retailer to realise that perfect shoes demand perfect feet. Their foot care kit is £9.99 and contains everything a girl will ever need to make sure her feet are sandal-ready this Christmas. It's a nice shocking pink colour, too!

Shoes with pretty, patterned insoles are the footwear equivalent of wearing fabulous underwear: no one but you knows they're there, but they make you feel that little bit more glamorous all day long. If I had to buy a pair of insoles, then, I'd be very tempted to go for this pair from Topshop, which are a world away from the boring, beige blandness we've come to associate with most insoles. They're £2.50 per packet, and hey - who knew something so practical could also be so much fun?

Roller discos are making a bit of a comeback. Just a few weeks ago social diva Peaches Geldof was papped at a roller disco in South London. Well, the idea of actually skating sounds a bit dangerous to me but why not nod to the trend with this funky ring? If not for you then why not get it as a stocking filler for just £3.50!
