In the last two days, I've received five emails about these green suede thigh high boots with a metallic trim as seen on Sienna Miller. I'm not sure what has inspired so many of you to write in such a short space of time, but you're obviously desperate to get your hands on them! According to the fabulous Sienna Online the boots are £400+ Chloe numbers, but something (like the complete lack of any mention of them anywhere) tells me they're from a past season. So what are the alternatives? Well, the high street versions are fairly lacklustre, so I suggest you get crafty by adding a trim to these eBay finds (or these).

I've had a couple of requests from people to find these platform courts, which have been spotted on Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen. The red sole gives away the designer - they're Christian Louboutin creations, and the style is Bruges ($735), which comes with a stacked wood or a cork heel (Jessica Simpson has worn the cork ones). I can't find the style for sale online anywhere but eBay (where there's a black cork pair in a 39.5 and red cork pair in a 38.5). Rumours suggest it's sold out but you could give your local stockist a call to check.
Can you tell me where to get Sienna and Jordans knitted/crochet ugg style boots? Sienna had white ones and Jordan I saw in an orange pair? Thanks! - Harriet
I'd first like to go on record as saying I think these should be in the Ugly Shoes section of the site, but I've been asked about them a few times now, so perhaps I'm missing something. With a bit of help from Sienna fans we've come to the conclusion that the knitted boots are LIVS (from $99.99)
Sienna's being the oatmeal colour, and Jordan's the orange. There are loads of stockists around, but Shoes.com are one of the few to offer international shipping.
Katie Holmes wore some fabulous copper metallic pumps at the War of The World premiere. My friend is getting married and these shoes would be perfect for our bridesmaid's dresses. Can you help me figure out who makes these gorgeous shoes? - Susan
Of course! Katie's pumps were from Jimmy Choo, the style is 'Merrit', and the colour she wore was cracked metallic bronze. I can't find an online stockist of that particular colour, but they are part of the Autumn / Winter collection so you should be able to get them from a Choo boutique. If spending hundreds on bridesmaids shoes just isn't practical, Steve Madden's 'Darring' pumps are incredibly similar at $69.95, as are Nine West's 'Aarona for $59.99.
Could you try to find out where Fergie from the Black Eyed Peas got the shoes she wears in the video for 'My Humps'? They're black high heeled open toes, with a big pink ribbon bow on the back of them. - Nicola
Well, Nicola, you didn't say please, but I had a look for you anyway! Typically, today is the one day those lovely lady lumps aren't all over the TV every time I switch on the music channels, so I can't check, but it sounds like Fergie's shoes might be these Brian Atwood numbers. His shoes are quite difficult to find in the UK but you can try Browns in London. Otherwise, these are stocked at Saks for $645 if you happen to have a nice Yank friend who'll post them over to you, or use a service like Access USA.
I love answering your shoe questions, but as more and more of them are starting to appear in the Shoewawa inbox every day, it's getting harder to answer them, especially when there's missing information. So if you're going to send in your shoe woes for a bit of help, please follow these guidelines to help me out a bit and be in with more of a chance of getting a useful answer...
