The YSL Trib Two shoe is no doubt the most worn shoe of the season, but when everyone from Kourtney Kardashian to Lily Allen starts wearing them, they start to lose their sparkle.

Another popular shoe, that has not lost any of its sparkle, are the Balenciaga Fall 2008 pointy stilettos and boots.

The futuristic pointy silver/grey/white stiletto is very sexy and looks great with any ensemble.

What you may not know is that the shoes are actually designed by Pierre Hardy for his friend and designer Nicolas Ghesquière at Balenciaga.



Of course two of the most well-known fashionistas, Sarah Jessica Parker and Victoria Beckham, are loving these heels.

SJP prefers the pointy ankle boot, whereas Victoria prefers the leg lengthening cut-out stiletto.



SJP and Victoria are not the only celebs who have been wearing these heels.

Ciara also has the same boots as SJP, whereas Heidi Klum, Rocsi from BET, Selita Ebanks and most recently Taylor Momsen, have all been wearing the strappy stiletto.

The strappy stiletto are sold out online, but I did managed to prevent myself from buying a pair from Selfridges this weekend.

Browns Fashion have the boots, which come in a different combination of colours to the ones we have seen on the red carpet.

They have the grey, silver and black version, and are available to buy from BrownsFashion.com for $971.80/€765.15/£630.

The short ankle boot has a zip fastening on the side, a rubber platform sole and a neon tip, which sits on the pointed toe.

    I especialy like the ankle boots but not every one can carry that. I’ve bought a pair for a client and it has become her favourite shoe ever.

    I don’t understand the appeal of pointy-toed stilettos to intelligent women. These shoes are sexual fetish toys, ladies, and not that long ago could only be found in Frederick’s of Hollywood catalogs. Why invest in such fabulous couturier clothing and then accessorize with streetwalker shoes? Why are women allowing designers to turn them into sluts, and harming themselves physically, all in the name of “fashion”? Only Manolo, Jimmy and podiatrists are profiting from this style nightmare - not the female sex.

    They are so ugly that I can’t even describe how I feel for them…I really can’t understand why someone wears them!

    I beg to differ, the pointy stiletto lengthens the leg and adds wow factor to an outfit without overtly saying look at me look at me. I adore the shoes, and I’m not just saying that because I love everything Victoria even thinks about wearing. I believe it was the Olsens who originally adorned the shoe and whom have since had glued to their feet.

    I’d also like to add, a pointed stiletto works well in cold weather as one’s toes can be covered…
