Lace up isn't exactly the first thing I think of when I hear the word gladiator sandals. Neither is blue, but nevertheless that is what River Island wants us to consider right now.
New in are these patent leather lace up glads, which are available in blue and black. I think they are a cute take on an overdone trend, but it's up to you whether you think you can make them work for longer than a few weeks. They can be yours for £34.99, simply visit River Island today.

The colour is the main reason that I am posting these shoes. I am crushing on that bright red cherry colour that I think will be a real winner this coming season.
Evans is often overlooked for shoes, but their footwear range is often really well stocked. Take for instance these red patent lace-up shoe boots, at £30 they are a great investment and will likely get you noticed wherever you go. Have a closer look by clicking here.

Lace up heels are so bang on trend right now (oh, how I love that saying!) that you won't want to overlook these python platform pumps by the master himself, Christian Louboutin.
The pale colouring of these heels make the red soles just pop - it's one way to make your friends jealous. The ankle cuff adds a more dramatic element, so you're sure to get noticed wherever you go. Order them today from Barneys for US$$1,895.

Check out these puppies... or fishies rather.
These aptly named 'Pimp' shoes dressed in cheetah fur are just one of many available on the fetish site Pleaser. They feature a see-through 3.5 inch heel that includes plastic gold fish - yes, really. I'm sure someone out there would get a right laugh with these novelty shoes, but I think I'll pass.

There is something about tartan that makes me feel all Christmassy inside... it must be the red.
Here are the perfect pair of Christmas lace up pumps, at a bargain price as well. They are new to ASOS.com and are selling for £11.75. At this price don't expect them to last long. Cute much?

How cute are these brogue style leather lace up shoe boots?
I really like the colour, which would look great with a pair of grey or mustard tights. Featuring a round toe, with lace front and slim cone heel. One to definitely consider to brighten up that dull winter wardrobe. They're priced at £45.

How do you add a feminine touch to a pair of menswear-inspired shoes? Easy! Just make them in bright pink patent, obviously! Well, I'm assuming that was the thinking here, anyway... The result is this rather cartoon-ish looking lace-up, which is exactly what Barbie would wear, if, of course, Barbie ever decided to wear a pair of flat lace-ups. That would be about as unlikely as me wearing them, but I know some of you love this style, and if you still love it in pink patent, now's your chance to buy it - these are £20 from ASOS.
