With fabulous pop-art graphics reminiscent of vintage comic strips, they'll certainly add a splash to your look on a rainy day! If you love your footwear kitsch and cosy, they're by MIA and are a bargain $59.99.

High Street V. Designer: Dorothy Perkins do Gucci

dorothygucci.jpg

I think it's pretty obvious which is the designer shoe and which is the high street offering in the above photo, but just in case it isn't, on the right we have Dorothy Perkins' black patent shoe boots (£25), while on the left it's Gucci's 'Newton' boots ($850), which we featured back in January. You'll notice just a few similarities between the two pairs, but Dorothy Perkins are certainly the winner when it comes to price, with their offerings coming in at just a fraction of the price of the Gucci originals.

Victoriana abounds with Charmone's 'Dragonwell' boots

Charmone-victoriana-boots.jpgAlthough I haven't bought into the trend as yet - more to do with the hot summer in the Southern Hemisphere than anything else - I must admit that I'm quite partial to Victorian influences, particularly when it comes to boots. These wedge-heeled boots by Charmone are particularly charming, utilising the victorian-esque strap and button detailing without looking like a costume reproduction, and with a nice military feel at that. In a mix of beautiful deep green shades, they're perfect right down to the pretty patterned lining! If you'd like to step your look up a notch, they're $255.49 (on sale) from Shoes.com.

Naughty Monkey go Victorian with their ‘Get Up’ boots

naughty-monkey-get-up-boots.jpgNaughty Monkey are known for their slightly off-beat designs, so it's no surprise that these rather unique boots are one of theirs! Looking very Victorian, particularly with their pinstripe base, the leather cut-out detailing ensure that these are boots that will stand out in a crowd. A great pair for those of you who like to add a quirky touch to your workwear, they're $109.99.

Go a little futuristic with Modern Vintage

zamara-boots-modern-vintage.jpgWith a brand name like Modern Vintage, these ankle boots are rather futuristic, don't you think; or at least, well matched with some of the scarier 'Future' looks on the A/W09 catwalks! (Of course, we'd suggest wearing them with... erm... something prettier?) In any case, it's the embossed patent leather that make these both terribly beautiful and an elegant addition to your shoedrobe. You might have to save a few pennies for them, though; they're $294.99 from Shoes.com.

Anthropologie’s ‘Clematis’ sock-shoes pose a few questions…

anthropologie-sock-shoe.JPGWe're no stranger to sock-shoes here. In fact, Shoewawa and sock-shoes could well be described as arch enemies, which is why these boots from Anthropologie pose a dilemma: we don't entirely hate them! Perhaps it's the Victorian feel or the pretty vintage print on the "sock". They're not without fault (the ugly laces), certainly, but they've got a certain je ne sais quoi that leaves us unable to condemn them to the scrap heap. Maybe it's just that time of the week, maybe we're losing our minds - what do you think of them?
