The Song Goes,

'These Boots Are Made For Walking'


in case you missed it this is Nancy Sinatra singing the song above, it became a number one on both sides of the pond in 1966, and yes she is the daughter of Frank,

but are these shoes made for walking? at £11.5 million or if you prefer it $15.1 million you might think not, but that is how much they are, they were designed by UK Designer Debbie Wingham in collaboration with Florida-based contemporary artist Chris Campbell, so what makes them so expensive? the heels feature three-carat rare pink and one-carat blue diamonds, there are four flawless three-carat diamonds and 1000 pointer diamonds set in platinum framing the piped and quilted details, the shoes also feature solid gold zippers and soles, leather painted in 24 carat gold paint, and the stitching was done with 18 carat gold thread, inside, the shoes are adorned with gold thread inlay, the shoes were finished with a rose gold accent to give slight contrast, leather Arabian jasmine flowers are the final touch, looking at these I knew Diana would like them, but just as I reached for my check book, it was too late, they were already sold, the shoes were commissioned by an unnamed family in Dubai to mark a special birthday, Diana will be so disappointed.
