Today, I’m going to feature my top 5 shoes and shoe labels for the past year, 2008. I’m pretty sure that you already know my top 1 if you have been following this website for quite some time. But anyway, click on continue reading to read Fashion Juice’s top 5 shoes and/or shoe labels of 2008.

#5 Booties, Shooties, Sandal Booties

What can I say? These booties, shooties, and sandal booties have graced Hollywood from Spring to Winter! During the warmer months of the year, we’ve seen celebrities donning sandals looking like boots – or boots looking like sandals! As fall 2008 arrived, we’ve seen the sandal booties transform to booties slash sling backs or booties with peep toes and all. We’ve seen the boots transform into a shoe or vice versa. Thus, I have to add this to my Top 5 list!

#4 Tory Burch

No questions asked, Tory Burch should be in this list because of so many of her creations. For one, her Reva Ballerina flats have become one of the most phenomenal ballet flats this year. She’s got all the juicy colors and they were all loved by women. Who wouldn’t want those round hardware with that signature “T” logo in it? But if you’re not a closed shoes kinda girl, Tory Burch also produced super cute sandals – flats, mid-heels, high heels… name it, she got it. Oh, and of course, the Tory Burch tall boots with the coveted “T” logo? You can’t miss that one too!

#3 Manolo Blahnik

Do I even have to explain myself why Manolo Blahnik should be here? Manolo’s were once the most coveted shoe label, thanks to Carrie of Sex and The City TV show! Now that Sex and the City movie was released in 2008, Manolo Blahnik was once again in the spotlight (not that we ever forgot the label). The SATC movie featured yet another gorgeous blue pumps from the high end shoe label. This is my second dream shoe label!

#2 The Gladiators

This one doesn’t have a label because almost every label did this design – the gladiators! There were flats, and then they grew heels, and they grew even more heels, and so on. There were so many versions of gladiators that were produced too. Thus, 2008 was really the year of the gladiators (in terms of shoes). I had my share of gladiators and semi-gladiators last 2008 and I’m happy that they are still around even if a year has passed.

#1 The Red Soled Shoe – Christian Louboutin High Heels

One of the most common shoes you’ll see on the red carpet for the year 2008 (and counting) are those with the signature red soles, designed by none other than Christian Louboutin! Tons of celebrities are seen wearing them all the time. This is my ultimate dream shoes and I’m hoping I can buy one this year!
