Love bows? Hate bows? Your answer to those questions will probably determine your response to these Alexander McQueen peep toes , because these shoes are all about the bows! Actually, these bows are a little too much even for a self-confessed bow-lover like myself, but I can't deny they're dramatic, and I do like the gold leather.
Browns say that these shoes "make a statement". If it's a statement you approve of, you can buy them there for £475.

Lovers of the ubiquitous bow peep toes (yes, that would be me) will find everything their hearts desire in these satin trim shoes from New Look. Not only are the requisite bows and peep toes firmly in place, they're also enhanced by a pretty satin trim, and then there's that stunning gold vamp, which is just begging to be taken out to party.
Did I mention the fact that they're only £20? God bless you, New Look, you come up trumps every time...

Buying printed shoes can be a bit of a gamble, so it's good to stick to colours that aren't too garish -- like navy blue, for example. It's a good shade for matching to your wardrobe, especially if you've gone in for the nautical look this summer.
Firetrap's 'Tickled' sandal in navy blue is a classic peep-toe shape with a little bow on the front. The jolly-looking pattern when viewed up close is tiny trees. They may be a bit 'Minnie Mouse' for some, but I think they're super-cute and so is the price: £29.95 at Cloggs
While not a direct copy and more an 'inspired-by' (I admit I kind of love those), when I saw these ASOS patent peep toes they instantly reminded me of these Marc by Marc Jacobs patent pumps (but that could possibly be because I only tried them on just the other day!)
Obviously the peep toe is similar in size and shape with the difference being the heel shape and the elastic slingback on the ASOS version. Where things are really miles apart is the price:the Marc shoes are either $127.45 from Saks or £147.75 from Net-A-Porter, while the ASOS ones are priced at £25.

M&S have created what I think is a pretty decent approximation of the season's hottest contrast-heel peep toes, with these new white and red slip-on shoes.
I can see these teaming up nicely with a pair of crisp white shorts, casual summer dress or skirt. Best of all, being from good old Marks', you can pretty much guarantee they'll fit comfortably, they're available in half sizes and cost a very modest £19.50

Notice anything familiar about these shoes? You should do, because this is the third time we've shown a pair just like them - the first time being back in December, when you showed you the originals, by Alexander McQueen, and the second just a couple of weeks ago, when we brought you the Aldo version. This pair is by ASOS , and they're the cheapest of the trio, at just £30.
So, who's next to be inspired by Mr McQueen's shoes, I wonder?

This year marks the 60th anniversary of the Dior fashion house, and what better way to celebrate your birthday than with a new pair of shoes?
Dior have chosen to mark the occasion with these velvet peep toes, which have a satin finish and a special anniversary pendant on the front engraved with the Christian Dior logo. At $720 they make a pretty expensive gift, but hey, it is a special occasion...
