So, while still fresh in my mind, here are some suggestions for footwear that is truly worthy of adorning your own inner super-hero, especially if thereÂ*is any truthÂ*to the whole idea of <a target="_blank" href="http://www.style.com/trends/trend_report/072808/superhero" title="Style.com superhero">superhero fashionÂ*trends for Fall 2008</a>.

If you prefer a more budget-conscious and kitschy option for showing off your Super-hero girl-power, there's always the campy "Liberty" Go-Go boots offered by <a target="_blank" href="http://www.ellieshoes.com/showcase/default.asp" title="Ellie homepage">Ellie shoes</a>:
