A Very Shoey Christmas Countdown: Number 8

manolo-blahnik-urban-legend-mary-janes.jpgAnother year, another version of that fabulous Blahnik Mary Jane - and what Top Ten would be complete without one? This year's incarnation took a step away from patent and leaped into the world of snakeskin footwear. In glorious red, they'd make a fabulous seasonal shoe - or a year-round love of your life! Also available in tan, they're on sale for $566 at Neiman Marcus - in limited sizes, though, so get in quick!

A Very Shoey Christmas Countdown: Number 9

brogue-booties2.jpg Two types of shoe dominated the shoe world this year - the shoe boot and the brogue, and back in the summer, Gucci managed to combine both to fabulous effect with their 'Eva' booties - they even managed to throw some metallic in there, too. These are shoes that will make you walk tall - well, with a 4.1" heel and a high platform, you couldn't really do anything else, could you? Part of Gucci's autumn/winter collection, you should still be able to find these to buy, and will pay in the region of $635 for them.

A Very Shoey Christmas Countdown: Number 10

yaynay103.jpgKicking off our Top 10 favourite shoes of 2007 are these fantastic rich burgundy velvet peep-toes from Charmone. Featured in our Yay or Nay column back in November, they were a rare pair of shoes that captured the minds and hearts of our readers, meaning a unanimous (and particularly enthusiastic) Yay! Thankfully, they're still available, and have been reduced (yahoooo!) to $279.99 from $349.99 at Shoes.com.

A Very Shoey Christmas Countdown: Number 11

manolo%2520blahniks2.bmpNo Christmas shoe countdown would be complete without a little something from Manolo Blahnik, and while the great man wasn't on our radar this year as much as he has been in other years, we still loved these nude satin sandals , which were one of many nude-coloured offerings to hit the shoe world this year. A jewelled buckle, a delicate heel and a feminine shape make these oh-so-Manolo, and oh-so-desirable at number 11.

A Very Shoey Christmas Countdown: Number 12

accessorizelucy.jpgWe love a vintage-styled shoe 'round here, and Accessorize has been an absolute goldmine for shoes styled after the gorgeous '20s, '30s and '40s this year! Of all the styles, though, we agreed that these beautiful 'Lucy' courts were our favourite. Versatile, with their low heel and classic court shoe shape; the mix of suede and patent makes them extra special. A pair that will last you a lifetime, our Number 12 is currently reduced to £35 at Accessorize!

Shoewawa's Top Ten Shoe Blogs

100blogslink.jpgJust to make sure you have enough to read over the festive season, Shiny Media is spending December counting down our top 100 fashion and lifestyle blogs. Today it's the turn of Shoewawa, so here are a few of our very favourite shoe blogs!

1. Manolo's Shoe Blog

The Manolo, he loves the shoes. The Internet, it loves the Manolo – every one's happy! (Except the Croc lovers, of course, who're not so keen on the expensive shoes so beloved of the Manolo and his legions of fans.) One of the wittiest sites around, and read even by non-shoe-lovers for that very reason, Manolo continues to fight the good fight against ordinariness and ugliness, in shoes and in life.

The Manolo says:

"It is again Monday, and you woke up filled with indignation at the dreary, narrow-minded, Croc-wearing peoples who would ruin your extravagant shoe-based fun. Who are they to suggest that the purchase and enjoyment of $500 shoes is in any way immoral? Bah!"

A Very Shoey Christmas Countdown: Number 13

gold-goodmans2.jpgGeorgina Goodman is always a Shoewawa favourite, and looking at these beautiful gold heels, it's not hard to see why. The slightly quirky shape of these reminded Emma (one of our loyal readers!) of Irregular Choice, and I'd have to agree. The curvy heel, covered platform and raised tongue are what stop these being just another pair of gold court shoes, and turn them into something fabulous. They're still in stock at My-Wardrobe.com, where they'll cost you £268.
