These beautiful shoes by Christian Louboutin are a sexy, evening version of the popular ankle boot. They are his Bloody Mary ankle boot and are made from exotic python snakeskin. The crisscross lace up strap ties at the ankle. They have a fierce 5.5 inch heel with a 1 inch platform, so it will still feel as if you are wearing a 4.5 inch heel. Too high for my comfort level, but they are so beautiful I would wear them out to dinner, where I only walk to and from the table. These shoes would look fabulous with skinny pants and a sexy, silky top. Available at Net a Porter, $1,365.
