Valentino’s lace-embroidered leather peep-toe pumps!
The winner of Saks Fifth Avenue and Footwear News’ 2011 Sexy Shoes contest was unveiled on Kathie Lee & Hoda this morning. Valentino’s hot heels were selected by more than 35,000 votes cast online.
“It won because it’s a beautifully designed shoe,” Kathie Lee said on TODAY. The shoes also happened to match Kathie Lee’s dress and with a little encouragement from Hoda, Kathie Lee tried on the sexy heels.
The editors of Footwear News chose the 25 Sexy Shoes finalists which included a number of top show designers including Dior, Christian Louboutin, Manolo Blahnik, Gucci, Givench, Stuart Weitzman and Oscar de la Renta.
Below are the three runner ups by Jimmy Choo, Prada and Chrissie Morris.

Funny, that Prada boot is nothing special, I see boots like that at Payless all the time and they cost like 90% less. These shoes look mighty uncomfortable on top of the fact they're overpriced.
I totally agree with you Hot-in-Miami! Definitely wouldn't have been my choice. I'd like to know who the voters were.
. I'd like to know who the voters were.
young women with no bunions...yet.
I like the first one...but the price is stupid
if i had to choose it defintely be the first one. but the price?
Nope, it's sexy, but, none of these shoes shown are the sexiest that I've seen.
LOL! I think that this contest was voted by those women who probably have every shoe pair there is... some of those shoes i find them sexy.. are they the sexiest ever? nope.
Who in the hell could walk in those things?
The first one and the boot look kind of average. The rhinestone one looks like something from the Halloween store.
And they all look uncomfortable. I can tell just by looking at that first one that it was made for someone with short stubby toes.
Did any straight men get to vote on what was the sexiest shoe for women? Just curious.
As a man with a sense of style. They look like shoes a hooker would wear. And even them, probably not.
Not fashionable. Over-priced. and ugly, in general
They may not be the sexiest, but they are way better than what you see on a lot of women today: Uggs, Crocs, Ballet flats, or Rainbow sandals.
The number of women out there with no sense of style is growing exponentially.
If you know my name why do I have to sign in AGAIN>
Uggs, Crocs, Ballet flats, and Rainbow sandals are all much better for your feet, hips, knees, and back than these monstrosities. Let's hear it for women with more actual sense than "fashion sense".
LOL! Why did I think-even just briefly- that they would choose shoes women can actually wear?!?!?! Cute, sure, for about 5 minuets. Sorry can't see paying that kind of $$ for any clothing, much less something that's going to hurt and leave me limping.
Speaking as a guy, I personally find all of these hideous on a woman. They're not sensible, they're horrible for their posture, muscles and comfort and I'm pretty sure they increase the chance of injury either from prolong wear or inadequate sole surface.
Women look great in normal shoes - in fact, when I see one wearing something sensible or comfortable as opposed to shoes like this, it says a lot about her common sense.
It's beautiful but I wouldn't say it was the sexiest.
