Very pretty, and safe. Hermes likes to maintain a conservative image, and designer Jean Paul Gaultier did so with this cowboy inspired collection, but still delivered beautiful and classy shoes. Hermes take on something 'different' in shoe design was the sole of the shoe. It doesn't quite cover the entire sole.  The soft suede riding boots are beautiful and look oh so comfy. While the luxury goods market is suffering, the Hermes brand reigns supreme in the fashion world and there's no sign of an end to the demand for Hermès classics. Click here to see the Hermes 2009 Spring handbag collection.
