Shoe Attack: Spike That Walk!

Following from our guest post here, it was a given that we would want to share that great shoe-crush in our lives right now: SPIKED SHOES! From Louboutin's Asteroid to Ruthie Davis' Spikette, here's our guide to our favorite spiked shoes from (ten of!) our favorite designers!

Focus: Spiked Heels
Where would we be without the spiked heels that grab our attention and don't let go!? Featuring front spikes, back spikes and all-over spike embellishments, these edgy pumps, boots and sandals make a bold statement, and it is this: I AM A TOUGH, DARING VIXEN. MAKE A WRONG MOVE AND YOU'LL SURE GET HURT!

    Wow these shoes are crazy! They look like they could be used as weapons. Police will suddenly see a surge in the number of spiky stiletto shoes at the scenes of crimes, haha.

    Those last spiked shoes, the pinked ones called "Harness", are my favorite. They're very feminine and yet have an edge to them. Love them!

      Yes. They sure are crazy! They could do a lot of damage too! Yep, we loved the 'Harness' too! It's all the rage on many shoe blogs right now - all the femininity, all the spice, all the danger, all the va va voom!

    The Tawny heels are my favourite! Max Kibardin are amazing but there is absolutely no way I can wear them, I'd be so self conscious of accidentally hurting someone ha!

    Lovely choices!!

      Haha! The Max Kibardin's are actually made of plastic spikes - so they shouldn't hurt anybody!

    Thank you for the sweet comment on my blog dear! I am loving your blog and these shoe choices! Love spikes, but I think my favorite for my own personal style would be the Sam Edelman's because they are not as wild, but still edgy! Great blog and I am now following via GFC and bloglovin! Have a great day! xx Pip
