If you haven't noticed shoes are getting some really high profile lately. From Manolos to Louboutins, shoes are no longer for walking, they are a center piece accessory that holds together the entire outfit. No wonder why we are paying those prices for our favorite designs and why shoe stores are getting fabulous makeovers to accommodate their high end inventory. I stumbled upon this collection of photos from around the world all featuring the most fabulously designed shoe stores. Some of them remind me expensive restaurants or clubs. You can say that shoe shopping is the new form of entertainment. In any case, the photos are truly amazing.
