Though I’m not sure I’d drop over a grand on these Giuseppe Zanotti sandals, they are definitely worth a look. Created from black silk and accented with Swarovski crystals, these are certainly stunning. These sandals have lots of interesting details. Outside of the crystals and jewels, they have zipper up the back and adjustable ankle strap.
Even if I had the cash, I’m not sure I could wear these. I’d be so afraid of damaging them. I’m pretty hard on shoes in general; I can’t imagine what I would do if I ruined thousand dollar shoes on my first night out.

These pewter metallic sandals from Pedro Garcia are an ideal choice for an evening out on the town. I adore pewter as an alternative to the oftentimes too shiny silver.
These modern evening sandals feature a thin crystal-embellished strap across the toes. In the back, they have a wide strap that buckles at the side.
With their 4 1/2-inch heels, you have to be comfortable with high heels to wear these pretty sandals. Though many women are steering away from sky-high heels, I think they are worth it for a few hours out at a special event or party.
