Footwear, especially for women, have been an object of fascination since early times. Unknown to most, women actually spend a lot on footwear than they know. A good example would be Sex and the City’s Carrie Bradshaw who suddenly realized that she spent roughly $40,000 on footwear yet she couldn’t afford an apartment. Men are different, though. They don’t think much about shoes and only wear what they think would best fit a certain occassion. As long as their shoes are usable, they tend not to replace it until its final moment. Men’s shoe style doesn’t change so they rarely buy a new pair every year. Here are three of the most expensive footwear for women.
Cinderella Slippers - This 4 1/2 inch pair of stilletos are adorned with 565 Kwiat diamonds and was designed by Stuart Weitzman. The pair costs around $2M. Stuart Weitzman is the designer of the so-called fantasy sandals and has already assumed legendary status. He creates more than 300 styles of shoes and handbags annualy. Each pair of shoes he creates takes about six to seven weeks to produce, with 80-odd craftsmen involved in the making of the final product.
Tanzanite Heels - Designed by Stuart Weitzman, these pair of sandals are adorned with 185 carats of tanzanite and 28 carats of diamonds. It was shown at the Le Vien party in Las Vegas. It is said that the stones on the sandals seem to be mounted unswervingly onto the leather and hardly seem to be detachable.
Ruby Slippers - Another design by Stuart Weitzman and also one of the most expensive footwear. This one was designed to be like Dorothy’s ruby slippers from the Wizard of Oz. The slippers are adorned with 690 rubies and costs around $1.8M. It was supposed to be worn by an actress during the Oscars but it never happened. The glass slippers above though had been worn by the singer Alison Krauss .
