Fierce feet are all the rage this fall. You don’t have to be a celebrity to rock these wild fashions, but you do need a flawless pedicure and the balance of a circus performer.

Once again dominatrix-inspired shoes rule the fashion world.  From naughty teacher peep toes to full-on Madam Pain vinyl platform boots, you can expect to see a lot of black leather and spikes this season.  The indestructible Mrs. Beckham is looking—dare we say it—delicious lately in her bondage couture, strutting around in everything from thigh-high PVC boots to junkyard dog stilettos: See A Weekend of Posh Fashion here.

Rihanna’s Shoes
Hollywood and New York alike are wild’n out in crazy patterns and other over-the-top adornments this season.  The lipstick jungle lives up to its name with laces, feathers, fur, and vicious heels.  Nothing is too big, too bright, or too outrageous this season.  Rihanna’s tribe-inspired footwear was breaking all the fashion rules this summer (and making new ones for the fall): Getting in Rihanna’s Shoes

Big booties are in again! 
If you don’t want to hide your killer legs in three feet of black rubber, then the trend gods have blessed you with another option.  Booties have been climbing the style charts for several seasons, but this fall and winter they’ll be at the height of their game (and heels).  This classic trend is going to new extremes with sky-high heels and lots of patent leather.  Fashion mavens Rachel Bilson, Gwyneth Paltrow, and yes Victoria Beckham (again) have already been spotted sporting these killer kicks.  Oh yeah, and Heidi Montag likes them too.  While no one was sold on the sandal booties this summer, Christian Louboutin’s patent beauties are already all sold out.  You can still get a jump on next season with these bootie beauties.
