What are the features of the most covetable shoe? The stunner, a star in its own right that has walked countless red carpets or the most stylish streets in the world. Fashion Allure is proud to present the list of hottest designer shoes and boots, 5 most covetable designs that have made a huge career in 2012.
Christian Louboutin – Bis Un Bout pump
This amazing transparent pump comes from Christian Louboutin’s Spring 2012 collection and is the updated version of Pigalle heels. Since February (when it debuted on 2012 Grammy Awards red carpet) we’ve seen the Bis un Bout pump so many times at all kinds of occasions. The success behind the PVC pumps is a mixture of the hottest trends in footwear: a pointed silhouette, sexy cap toe, ladylike ankle strap and a signature red sole. Oh, have I mentioned it comes in many different colours so you can match it with numerous outfits?

Giuseppe Zanotti for Kanye West heels
When Kanye West debuted his highly anticipated first catwalk collection in Paris, every fashionista was drooling over the footwear that was featured in the show. One of them were the drop-dead gorgeous pearly knitted stilettos and believe me, they caused a lot of stir. Apparently, the controversial pair was a result of a collaboration between Kanye West and the luxury shoemaker Giuseppe Zanotti. In September newspapers have reported that the pair has collaborated with yet again to create ‘Cruel Summer’, a Grecian-inspired sleek stiletto.

Jeffrey Campbell – Lita Spike CMYK ankle boot
If you’re looking for the way to incorporate an on-trend hardware in accessories, think about Lita Spike CMYK boots, the ultimate bad girl shoe. These freaking dangerous lace up boots from Jeffrey Campbell have become the global phenomenon after Solestruck sent out multiple pairs to bloggers from all over the world. The fashionable ladies gave numerous testimonials and it turned out that the shoe is super stylish, surprisingly comfortable to walk in, and is an amazing confidence booster! Oh, and did I say the spikes are very sharp?

Giuseppe Zanotti – suede wave sandal
Feminine with Giuseppe’s recognizably classic and sexy sandals, these heels from the Fall 2012 collection have had quite a few fans among female celebrities. The special feature of this platform-less, slim, and sleek stiletto is a slithering gold snake-like wave design that gracefully wraps around the front of the foot. The head-turning shoe has successfully complemented many ladylike ensembles and hopefully it will shake things up in Hollywood’s shoe rotation.

Givenchy – cuffed shaft boots
Ricardo Tisci gives cuffs a covetable, contemporary twist at Givenchy and it’s not a secret these unique over-the-knee boots from the Pre-Fall 2012 collection are one of the most coveted boots of the season. Capturing the label’s luxe yet edgy aesthetic, Shark Tooth toughens up any look thanks to the layered shaft that covers wedge for a pant-leg effect. In case you didn’t notice, the boot features a shark lock, the same detail we saw on the spring shoes.
