Shudoo, the online shoe store, has re-launched with a selection of must have designer shoes from top brands, and to celebrate they have taken the time to remind us of some of the shoe stories the world's great, and not-so-good, would perhaps rather forget.
From Heather Mills to kids telly show Blue Peter and footballer Wayne Rooney to former US President George W Bush, the celeb packed list of the Top 50 Most Memorable Shoe Stories, since the launch of the online store in 2003, is bursting with quirky anecdotes that just can’t be put to rest.
Put together by the team at Shudoo the list contains a mix of shoe stories. From the celebrity madness of Madonna's controversial gun shoes and Victoria Beckham's gravity defying heel-less boots, to the politically unforgettable shoe throwing at George W Bush.
Other notable entries in the Top 50 include politician Peter Mandleson, who in 2006 blocked imports of shoes from outside the EU, Sugababe Heidi Range losing her shoe on the catwalk at London Fashion Week and the launch of Heelarious, a range of heels for baby girls.
Speaking of the list co-founder Claire Russell said "We've been following shoe stories since our launch so it made sense to share our top fifty. We want the public to share their favourites with us too".
Shudoo’s Top 50 also features comments from fashion leaders with TV presenter Louise Roe, Project Catwalk judge Nick Ede and stylist Chantelle Znideric all adding their commentary to the listings.
The company is offering 10% off to customers who email in a story suggestion which is added to the ever growing list by the company's fashion editor.
Fashion lovers can also look forward to special treats, competitions and discounts through Shudoo’s new Facebook fan page and Twitter profile.
