Ruthie Davis is well known for her in Italian made shoes and her unique little brass button looking embellishments her heels. (Her blog is interesting too, if you’d like to have a peek on the inner workings of what it takes to make a Ruthie Davis heel.)

These flouro grafitti pumps were worn at at the WMA by Solange Knowles in late 2008.

They kind of take me back to my childhood because they remind me of liquorice allsorts.

As of writing this (November 2009), these pumps are still available at Forward by revolve.

Well “Closed Front Cage Sandals With Ankle Pads” is a bit of mouthful, but boy did these heels make the rounds.

Fondly known as the Lego shoe by Balenciaga, these heels have been likened to everything from the United Colors of Benetton to the Transformers, and, even a reminder of baseball. It’s definintely a love or hate relationship which was revived when Beyoncé wore them while performing at the AMA later on in the year (2007).

I actually like them. The overlapping layers on the back might detract from the heel, but then I’d probably be more likely to wear the black pair, which also came in another variation.

Steve Madden released a replica shoe, which, sorry Steve, (IMO) didn’t quite make the grade.
