Leopard print is almost as ubiquitous as black, tan and navy in shoe terms nowadays, and it's a great fabric to go for if you're planning to buy a simple, all-purpose pump you can wear day in day out but don't want anything too plain.
Pedro Garcia's ponyskin leopard Mary Janes are now half price at the Outnet so you can have a classic, infinitely wearable shoe with a twist at a fraction of the cost. With their designer-embossed soles you'll know they're the real deal as you bring them out time and again, either on bare legs worn with denim, or on block colour tights in winter. £105 (from £210) at The Outnet.

Can you believe these crazy day-glo sandals? You'd better, because they're right here in front of your eyes, and they're not going to vanish when you blink. The statement-making shoes by John Fluevog are typical of the brands bold, chunky style but with an extra ounce of cute supplied by a pair of bows that Hello Kitty would be proud of.
If you like the style but won't do pink, they're available in a very emo-friendly black and grey, too.
$159 at Fluevog
If ever a shoe lived up to its name, it's these 'Astound' wedges at £140 from Carvela, because I am astounded anyone could actually walk in them.
That is a 5.9 inch heel people. Almost 6 inches. If I feared of death by shoe, you would not see these on my feet.
A drastic spin on the classic mary jane, these are more 'back to my job as a stripper' then 'back to school'. With three patent leather straps and a peep toe, these are definitely shoes for wanting to be seen in. If you want to make sure everyones eyes are on you, they come in red too!

Who could possibly resist these ravishing red patent shoes with a heart (we always love a heart) by Minna Parikka? The perfectly beautiful stilettos are available at Tatty Devine boutique, where they cost an ouchy (but worth it) £210, and will make you feel every bit a starlet. I can imagine wearing these with reds, whites and ginham blues in summer or a little black dress in winter. A wonderful twist on the classic high heel. [Via Domestic Sluttery]

These flat Mary Janes from ASOS are in a great colour for this summer's trends and look like they'd see you through the season in comfort and style - even if the little strap does remind me a bit of the shoes I used to get bought for me from Mothercare when I was a wee tot.
Lightweight and practical, they're such a great price that if you're the sort of person who lives in flatties, you might even want to think about getting the set (they come in red and navy too) to alternate with your wardrobe. £20 at ASOS

Sex and the City fans will no doubt remember the episode in season four when Carrie went rummaging in Vogue's fashion cupboard and discovered what she called an "urban shoe myth."
That myth was Manolo Blahnik's "Campari" black patent Mary Janes, and they're about to hit London again, according to the designer. "It started off with the idea of a children's Mary Jane, but then I made it sexy; pointed toe, high heel - and in black patent with grosgrain trim!" he said of the shoe. They're available from the Manolo Blahnik's London flagship store for £400. Visit www.manoloblahnik.com [Source]
