Shoe Pervert - Cutaways and multi strap shoe boots.

Every year there is a particular design of shoe that catches the nations imagination.
A year ago, shoeboots came roaring into fashion, two years ago, peeptoe platforms, and so on and so forth.
For 2009 it seems that many, many straps are the order of the day. It's a look I like very much - it's so teasing, with little glimmers of flesh, it's like the cutaway bandage dress, but on your feet. There is something very S&M and bondage about it. And I have been obsessed with bondage-esque shoes since dear Sarah Jessica started wearing them eight months ago.
The ever edgier Top Shop is working this look better than any other high street chain, and proves it works well on all sorts of shoes, in a subtle way with grey cutaway sandals, £60, or on a sandal shoe boot, £70, to help keep the ankles warm until March.
