Shoes and stars: interesting facts.
The most expensive shoes in the world.
Two pairs of shoes are said to have this title, and both are made by the famous jeweler Stewart Weitsmann. The first pair are red pumps covered with 960 rubies. They resemble the red shoes of Ellie (Judie Garlend), the main heroine of the famous Hollywood movie “The Magician of Oz” (1939). The masterpiece of jewelry art cost 1,6 million euro. The shoes were created according to the desire of one Hollywood star that decided to remain incognito. The second pair is weaved from platinum threads and decorated with 464 diamonds. These shoes cost a half cheaper and were noticed on Lora Harring during the last-year Oscar ceremony.
What Madonna wears.
Being one of the most elegant women all over the world, Madonna is a shoes collector. Her wardrobe today contains several hundreds pairs. Some of her shoes are so precious and fragile, that Madonna never puts them on and keeps carefully packed in silk paper. Only sometimes she takes them out of the wardrobe, has a look at the shoes- and then hides them again. However, the singer does not disdain to wear less luxurious shoes, for example, Adidas or Converse sneakers. Usually she buys a new pair long before this design appears in the shops.
Also the star was noticed wearing wooden platform shoes by Michelle Mason, sandals embroided with glass beads by Giuseppe Zanotti, the boots by Barbara Bui, made from the skin of a black calf, Dolce & Gabbana pumps in Kabuki style and, of course, a huge number of shoes by Manolo Blahnik. Madonna is today world wide famous for saying, that shoes by Manolo Blahnik are better than sex.

Ugg Brand Boots: Not All UGGs Are Ugh
I believe that today people all over the world have contradictory opinions about Ugg Australia unique boots. Nobody has settled opinion whether these boots are really ‘ugh’ or whether they are achingly beautiful and outrageously original. Even the name of the brand - ‘UGG’ means ‘ugly’, which encourages a lot of heated but still useless discussions as nether of the party can go and nail its flag to the mast.
Do you know anybody, I mean any woman, who doesn’t want to look stylish and to receive lots of compliments on her appearance. But how can avid fashionista venture to put on the boots from UGG Australia when the name of the brand associates with something ugly?!!
But anyway I think it is only the matter of personality, I mean that independent thinkers and comfort seekers won’t take into account prejudice and will prefer to become the trendsetters instead of trend followers. They will agree that UGGs are not ugh at all – their name is just a cunning trick of Ugg Ausralia company to attract attention to their product. And the company has succeeded to do this because, what concerns popularity, UGGs run circles among other winter boots.
Of course, I don’t insist that all UGGs are achignly beautiful as there are some styles that are quite run-of-the-mill. But overall, there is some charming appeal in UGGs. Many celebrities have already fallen in love with the UGGs that are no way ugh. =) May be ‘Ughs’ have won their hearts thanks to the incredible comfort they provide. Claudia Schiffer , Eva Longoria, Beyonce Knowles, Paris Hilton, Sarah Jessica Parker, Sienna Miller, Britney Spears and Kate Moss are among those who have been noted with these ‘ugly’ boots gracing their elegant feet on.
FYI, Uggs were at first devised by aboriginals in Australia to keep their feet warm. And since then for comfort and warmth these boots have been hard to beat. At the same time Uggs easily pick up moisture in warmer weather thanks to the sheepskin they are made of. Come on, don’t be steeped in prejudice, give ‘Ughs” a try! =)

Dr. Martens Unisex 1460 boot is a really classic boot that remains a classic to this day. The only criticism I have is that today Dr. Martens are produced in China, not in England as they used to. Of course, a bit of their specialities has been lost but the quality is still good, though not excellent as it used to be. But I think their nice price outweighs this issue because if they were still manufactured in England, they would cost more than $300.
If you want honest, these boots might need some breaking in, as they seem to be a little bit stiff at first but then they are awesome! You won’t regret!

As these particular Dr. Martens are not very thick or padded with cloth, they are intended for wearing mostly in warmer weather.
