A few
times a year, we tune in to watch as our favorite stars and celebrities hit the
red carpet for their night of showcase and honor. A night where we watch them
accept awards and nominations for the best of the best in entertainment. We scream like "ooh
and ahhh" over what designer they’re wearing as they hit the red carpet, and in
our head (or perhaps out loud) give our thumbs up or down of approval.
A big
part of that 'yay' or 'nay' vote is the shoes. At least, it is for us. So,
we've compiled a list of nominees for Top 20 Designer High Heel Brands. We've
chosen one shoe that exemplifies each brand. Here goes.
