A leopard mega-wedge topped with suede – this sounds similar to another pair of Giuseppe Zanotti heels I recently found myself lusting over. Now meet the flipside of the same wild coin. As a more practical, more casual bootie, they have a completely differently feel, though both possess the strong pull of animal magnetism. And whoa! At 6”, these would make me six feet tall.
This is a fall staple that has all the bases fully loaded, including the gift of height and at under a grand, even the price is not bad. A pony-skin, leopard-print heel and peek-a-boo toe make bring on the sex appeal – and make them the greatest boots for pants ever; a split wedge and python-embossed leather python make these stand out from the endless pack of ankle boots; and a clean black upper keeps them wearable, as in a few days a week.

Pair with: Vamp it up with a pristine red pedicure. While leopard and red can be a tacky combination where ensembles are concerned, this booties have just a splash of spots and NARS’ “Dovima” polish will balance out the pizazz from heel to toe. At Barneys New York for $17.
