The term 'erotic footwear' tends to conjure up one of two things: women in stiletto heels ready to do some damage to willing victims, or pole dancers in clear-soled 'stripper' shoes. Neither of these things are good, or in most people's books, especially erotic.
Thank goodness for Agent Provocateur then, with its sexy but sophisticated takes on current must-have styles. I love these hot pink exaggerated wedges, which are just high enough to raise an eyebrow without straying into minnie mouse territory. And let's face it, rodent references are not generally condusive to seduction! Reduced to £190 from £280 at Kurt Geiger

A summer which has included a little more walking than would otherwise be the case for me has given me a whole new level of appreciation for shoes like these canvas wedges from La Redoute. Not only are they cute and colourful for summer, coming in red, mint green and black, shoes like this also look like they'd be much more comfortable than the ballet flats I normally resort to, but which often end up hurting my heels thanks to the close proximity to hard concrete and other surfaces.
These have just been reduced to £15 in the sale, and there's still enough summer left to justify a purchase or two!

Aren't these fabulous? Such a simple idea, to add this fan-like, art-deco style design to the heel of these red patent wedges , but one that makes a huge amount of difference. If you love them, though, you're probably going to hate me for what I have to tell you next, which is that these are currently only available in a US size 9.5, from Yoox.com. You may just get lucky, though, and be able to track them down elsewhere, or there's always the chance that more stock will come in. If/when it does, these retail for $240.

I'm aware that these sandals are a little geriatric to say the least but try to look beyond the OAP stylings and you'll find an appealing shoe.
The cutout wedge heel has a space age/minimalist feel to it which contrasts nicely with the brogue detailing on the the upper. What's more they're only $8 from I Love Parrot Kisses, a true bargain!

I wasn't particularly keen on Jessica Simpson's 'Percey' wedges when I first found them on the Zappos website, but they're starting to grow on me. Although these are purple, not blue, for some reason the pattern reminds me of a cloudy summer sky, and that has to be a good thing. Whatever this pattern makes you think of, though, it's definitely different, which could make it a good option for wearing with plainer outfits like jeans or summer dresses. These are $93 at available from Zappos.

Almost every time I visit the Jones Bootmaker website, I find myself wondering why it is I don't visit more often. Take these 'Calais' wedges, for instance: I love the high heel and Mary Jane style strap, but most of all, I love that almost-nude beige shade, which will work with absolutely everything. The style is also really versatile, and you'd be able to wear them to work or dress them down for the weekends. They've also just been reduced in the sale from £70 to £35 - what more could you want?
