Between Sept. 26 until Oct. 21, 35.000 voters chose Valentino to take first place in this year’s “Sexy Shoes” contest created by Footwear News and Saks Fifth Avenue.
Second place for Jimmy Choo’s Swarovski crystal-encrusted sandals with double ankle straps and third for Prada with knee-high leather boots.
Among 25 finalists, were styles by Manolo Blahnik, Christian Louboutin, Dior, Givenchy, Gucci, Oscar de la Renta and Stuart Weitzman.
Last year’s winner was a multicolored Swarovski crystal-covered slingback by Christian Louboutin.
