Sometimes I open up my closet and feel like I have all too many boring shoes. Am I alone in this?! Sure, maybe I can wear a lot of my heels anywhere and match them with all kinds of things, but that usually means they’re unobtrusive and safe in color. A pair of plain brown pumps is effortlessly wearable yet rarely inspires anyone.

I crave shoes that set me apart from a crowd. Shoes that make people stop and ask me, “Where did you get those?!” (Heels.com, of course!) Shoes that put a smile on my face every time I look down. Shoes that keep me thinking, “I’m so glad I’m wearing these heels!!” all throughout the day. Shoes so fabulous that I want to plan my outfits around them.

Some truly amazing heels have come across my desk in recent days, and I certainly keep track of my favorites. I’ve decided to pick out some shoes with a serious “WOW Factor” component to them – cure your closet of the borings and pick up one of these fabulous pairs of heels!

The L.A.M.B. Zed Sandal in Dark Brown.
This is the sandal to end all sandals from the queen of high-quality heels, Gwen Stefani and L.A.M.B. shoes. The dark brown leather straps are of an exceptionally high quality and quite comfortable, and the circular pattern on the front is eye catching and evocative. A recessed platform, typical of L.A.M.B. sandals, and a sky-high heel make these a show-stopping number.

The Betsey Johnson Law Sandal in Black and Red.
Wearing a Little Black Dress to anything soon? Are you really going to put the same pair of black party sandals on? Stop right now and check out these fabulous sandals from Betsey Johnson instead. Betsey Johnson heels never disappoint with fabulous, imaginative designs guaranteed to excite everyone from the experienced shoe lover to the total shoe newbie. I have handled these shoes myself and they are stunning in person – the fit is perfect and the flower detail is adorable.

The Sab Elle Thigh Boot from Luichiny.
Wow. Wow. Wow. These thigh boots are the definition of the term “wow factor”. Just let them sink in and think about the amount of fabulosity you would gain from slipping these bad boys on. Your legs deserve a pair of boots like these. These boots are the kind of fashion statement that will have half our viewers saying, “Eww!” and the other half drooling in anticipation. (And those of you saying, “eww!” Well, I’m sure a small part of you wants these too!) I… I have no more words. I was so lost that when I was describing them, I couldn’t help but start with “wow” in my description.

What about you, shoe lovers? What other fabulous shoes do you have with that elusive wow factor?
