We all know that animal prints come and go, right? Right? It’s not every season that you see stores full of cheetah spots and zebra stripes.
Same’s true for shoes, of course. But if you’re dying to work an animal motif into your footwear without looking like a tiger impersonator, then you might try one of these.
If you’re feeling the wacked-out wedge like my fellow bloggers Shoesense and Galligator, then check out these gorgeous snakeskin patterned Terry de Havilland stunners.
They’re 380 GBP at Asos.com (yeah, that’s about $760), but they’ll put a sssssizzle in your ssssstep. (Sorry… couldn’t help myself.)
Don’t want to pony up or hobble down with these 5.5 inch wedges? Then snag your python print in the much more comfy Katella Tex slip-on sneaks from L.A.M.B.
Snake not your thing? Then how about going for the understated animal print look with these tortoiseshell Alexander McQueen stilettos.
They won’t be any friendlier on your wallet (they’re 340 GBP/$680), and at 5.5 inches high, they won’t do your bone structure any favors, either. But they sure are pretty, ain’t they?
Or skip the reptile thing altogether and go right to full-on amphibian with some fun and fishy footwear, which can be just as glam and glittery as anything snakeskin.
Take, for example, these $850 Zanotti’s.
Bet you never thought a fish skeleton could look so good.
And since fish gotta swim, what more perfect way to wear the scaly beasts than on a pair of rain boots like these fun koi-patterned ones from Chooka ($60 at Endless).
But if fish aren’t enough to make you strut your stuff, then you can razzle-dazzle ‘em in the rain with the peacock version of those Chooka boots (only $51).

I have to admit, after seeing SATC, I rushed out and picked up a pair of Zanotti's fish sandals to recreate Samantha's 'sushi' scene. So hot.

I'm totally in love with the Alexander McQueen Tortoiseshell peep toe platform shoes. They are fabulous. Unfortunately, they're not available in larger sizes…like size 11. Boo hoo.
If you wear size 11 and up, then check out this designer shoe blog, Your Feet Make You Unique at http://www.yourfeetmakeyouunique.com

Kim Cattrall was wearing fish sandals just like those in the SATC movie – it was the scene where she covered herself in sushi (I thought the fish shoes added to the raw fish was hilarious!)

McQueen’s brown tortoiseshell peep toe, high heel is awesome. All leather and nice black & red combo with snake skin look…Simply GREAT!

I love those Zanotti fish sandals! If I could afford them, these would become my go-to fancy dress sandals. I've never seen anything like them and they're the perfect conversation piece. Great find!
