Ever the trendsetter, Chloe Sevigny has attended the recent Coachella Music Festival over the weekend working the socks-with-sandals look. And it wasn't just a one-day thing either! The actress-turned-designer seems to be challenging the trend, usually considered a fashion faux-pa. Has she been taking her Big Love character wardrobe too far or would you also pair your socks with sandals? Vote in our shoe poll below.
Every week, we faithfully trawl through the world of shoe horrors to find what we consider to be the ugliest shoe of the week. That's all well and good, however, but what, we wonder, is the ugliest shoe of the entire year?
Well, we've gone through our Ugly Shoe archive and narrowed it down to a few finalists, which it's now up to you to stand in judgement of. You'll find a poll under the jump: tell us - which was the Ugliest Shoe of the Year?
Over-the-knee boots have long been regarded as something that street walkers are known to strut about in. This tends to be attributed to Julia Roberts and her turn as a hooker-with-a-heart in Pretty Woman. But more recently I have wondered whether I could wear over-the-knee boots and feel comfortable in them. Watching them on the likes of Anne Hathaway in The Devil Wears Prada certainly stirred up the question again. But then, I recently saw them on Brooke Hogan and instantly backtracked again. What about you? Would you wear them? Do you wear them? Vote in our poll below.
It is a battle of Orlando Bloom's girlfriends with his former flame, Kate Bosworth, and current love interest, Miranda Kerr, both choosing to wear the same Burberry Prorsum ruched platform pumps (£350 from Net-a-porter). Model Miranda first wore the eggplant-hued heels at the GQ Man of the Year Awards in London last month. She teamed them with a purple Burberry Prorsum cocktail dress. While Kate donned them to the Fashion Group International Night of Stars Awards in New York on Sunday with a feathered dress also by Burberry Prorsum.

With the trend towards extreme high heels continuing to rise, a disturbing new phenomenon is emerging to help women overcome the pain of skyscraper heels, wait for it... Botox injections in their feet.
Yes, really. According to fresh news reports, surgeons are administering Botox injections in patient's feet to allow them to wear up to 8-inch stilettos.
"I think the fact that women are wearing 5-inch heels, 6-inch, all the way up to 8-inch heels this season is ridiculous," said podiatric surgeon, Dr. Suzanne Levine. "Women will now have more problems with lower back pain, pain up the leg, the knee".
So would you consider Botox injections in your feet? Vote in our reader poll, after the jump...
It may sound like a redundant question, but do you wear heels to the beach? Not surprisingly, the Hollywood glitterati aren't opposed to the notion, take actress and Playboy model, Shauna Sand, for example. Not only did she recently don a pink animal print bikini, wide brimmed hat, and Louis Vuitton bag, for her day at the beach with her three young daughters, but she also did it in a pair of clear Lucite stripper platform heels. Perhaps she was hoping to tan the tops of her feet? Either way, the bloke behind her seems to find it all very amusing.

Here at Shoewawa, we're forever pointing out shoes that have very obviously been "inspired" by designers like Christian Louboutin or Miu Miu, but which are being sold for a fraction of the price by high street stores. Now we'd like to know just what you think of these designer-inspired numbers. Do you buy them? Would you wear them? Or do you prefer to save up your money and splash out on the real thing?
For myself, I've admitted in the past to owning some cheaper versions of designer shoes. I have a pair of Nine West platforms which are dead ringers for Christian Louboutin's Bruges shoes, for instance, and a couple of pairs from the likes of New Look and Moda in Pelle which, although not directly inspired by a particular designer style, have nevertheless been given red soles - clearly in "tribute" to the great designer. (I should probably add that I haven't bought these shoes because of the red soles, but wouldn't refuse to buy them because of them either).
