Animal print shoes.......good idea?

Am looking for a pair of snakeskin- well any animal print- shoes. Definitely not flat! Have seen many many photos in mags and on websites- yes whistles that's you I am pointing at- but not for sale. Would like them to look good with skinny jeans. Has anyone seen any that I could purchase rather than lust after?

Dune do a lovely kitten heel pair with pointy toes, around £70 if I remember. Next also do a chunky heeled ballet pump in various hairy prints. (have them both Blush

Yes, I've seen delightful kitten heels in zebra print and in leopard print in Dune. I'd buy 'em, except my feet would never fit inside.

I love animal print. I have some lovely leopard ankle boots from New Look which have a heel but are really comfy and look good with jeans. These are pretty splendid if you're flush Smile

these are lush!

I have a pair of kurt geiger leopard print heels that are perfect in every way - I've just tried to find them for you but they must have stopped selling them!

Oh thank you- so have started browsing and as have never done animal print shoes do you think something like this would be able to be worn with skinny jeans or will it look naff?

Which is quite amusing Euphemia as unlike most other shoes animal prints are rarely leather...

I think animal print court shoes and skinny jeans does run the risk of looking a little naff though I often wear printed ballet flats with skinny jeans. The pair you have linked to I would imagine worn with a black dress for the office. Closed in heeled leopard boots would look good with jeans.

This was the kind of look I wanted but wasn't sure how to do it with jeans

So have bought boots instead.....but once the credit card recovers next on my list is the animal print.
Ideas of what you could wear these with???
