One of the best things about kids clothing is the adorable range of minature shoes, based on the popular versions owned by their parents.
Writing for other parenting sites means I come across a lot of these on a daily basis. Take the mini uggs on the right. I've seen these pop up a lot recently, but they really are too cute to ignore. They're available in pink, tan, and leapord. They're only £44.99 too, much more affordable than their bigger brothers.
Cute, but not the only mini shoe on the block.

There’s very little point in splashing out lots of money on lots of gorgeous shoes if you’re just going to chuck them in the bottom of your wardrobe or a pile in the corner of your room. Not only does it look ugly, but it can cause a lot of damage to heels, soles and those delicate little touches.
Taking care of your shoes doesn’t need to be expensive or time consuming. You’ve probably heard of using polaroid pictures on the outside of shoe boxes to keep your shoes organised and easy to find. Great, but not exactly the kind of thing you want in your boudoir.
Bombay Duck are here to the rescue with their range of cute storage solutions to fit any budget. This set of 3 designer shoe boxes on the right is the perfect size for storing away your summer shoes for the next few months. They’re £29.36 for the whole set.

Browsing Ebay used to be like visiting the best charity shop in the world and finding all sorts of bargain goodies, without the general smell of old lady. Lately though, I've found the number of decent finds have been dwindling, and the prices have been increasing. Not good.
I think I've found where all the finds have been disappearing to though. Bigwardrobe.com originally came into my line of vision when I discovered them on twitter. Unlike Ebay, they don't just offer the opportunity for people to sell and buy clothing, shoes and accessories. You can also swap with other users in a great big fashion recycling environment. It comes across as the more fashionable sister of Ebay, and this is reflected in the items on the site.

'Goth' is a style that refuses to die, and it's going to be returning vampire-like to the fashion scene this autumn with more lifeblood running through its veins than ever before. As anyone whose ever been shopping in Camden knows, you'll never be short of places to look if you like the Goth style, so why not bypass the many goth-inspired shoes and boots this season and go straight for the jugular with an authentic pair from a bona fide Goth designer?
The styles are often a bit more extreme than you'll find on the high street: platforms are higher and straps are more strappy. But these are all looks that are referenced in current styles if you're willing to experiment, the results can be very striking. And you may find that prices are less inflated, too.
Follow the jump for details on each shoe!

Feet are funny things. I know loads of people whose shoe sizes fall outside the standard range, and even within it you're likely to have problems: my own feet are a 'petite' size four but are so wide that I'm limited to a very restricted selection of styles and most people I know who take a half size are seldom happy with the fit of their footwear. And I can't think of any worse occasion than one's wedding day to be stuck with ill-fitting shoes...
But setting aside the gripes we all have with our feet, let's think for a moment of those who really can't just go into a shop and buy a pair that'll pretty much fit. The size two and size ten ladies who are sized out of the joy of shoe-purchases. Unthinkable isn't it? But fortunately there are a few designers out there determined to ensure that they can get hold of a decent pair of wedding shoes.

The anti uber-heel trend is gaining pace. Initiated by MObama, it has polarised designers and high street. Kurt Geiger insists there is still mileage in Jenga-style platform shoes yet Rupert Sanderson does a roaring trade in kitten heels - he just doesn't broadcast the fact.
Now, US Vogue stylist (and ex-Jefferson Hack squeeze), Tabitha Simmons has designed a range of shoes and suggested a high-heel about-turn - she claims the Sabrina heeled pump looks right again. What say we? Find out the verdict over at Catwalk Queen.

This may prove to be a slightly controversial choice for Ugly Shoe of the Week, because I have a feeling some of you might just love Topshop's 'Marley2" studded fringe boots. As for me, every time I look at them, I'm uncomfortably reminded of the kind of shoes a cartoon pixie might wear, and that's not really a look I'm channelling right now, so I'd rather give these a miss. If you wouldn't miss them for the world, though, they're £32.
