Ruby Slippers
The ruby slippers worn by Judy Garland who played Dorothy in
Wizard of Oz have become one of the most valuable pieces of film memorabilia
ever. A number were made for the film but only nine pairs survived, the
slippers were originally silver but the directors decided to change them to the
iconic red colour to take advantage of the new Technicolor technology!

Cindarella’s Glass Slipper
Glass shoes don’t seem like a very practical choice of
footwear and if you can believe it Cinderella originally wore slippers made of
white squirrel fur; it was only in 1697 that her fairy-tale footwear was
changed to glass.

Julia Robert’s Knee High Boots
Forever in and out of style no one wore knee high boots with
as much sass and sexiness as Julia Robert’s character Vivienne in Pretty Woman.
They are so popular there is even a pair of ‘Pretty Woman’ boots by influential
shoe designer Christian Laboutin, featuring his iconic bright red sole.

Saturday Night Fever
Have you ever seen a man in higher heels than these amazing
white platforms worn by John Travolta from the film Saturday Night Fever? Not
only are they pretty high for a girl to wear but Travolta managed to dance like
a pro and not break his ankle! Win!

Back To the Future –Nikes
They might not be completely there yet but give Nike another
couple of years and they might have finished mastering the self-tying laces from
Back to The Future. In 2011 Nike actually created 1,500 pairs of the trainers
with all of the proceeds going to Michael J Fox’s Parkinson’s Foundation.
