Shoe-business trade paper Footwear News named the Christian Louboutin Maralena the sexiest shoe of the year.

I love, love Christian Louboutin, but is this really the sexiest shoe of 2010? Apparently the “runners up” were designs from Giuseppe Zanotti, Dolce & Gabbana and Jimmy Choo – I would love to see all the styles in the running. After watching Kathie Lee’s blunt reaction on the Today Show about the winning shoe and seeing that currently on the Huffington Post’s poll, 50% of voters say the Maralena isn’t the sexiest, I still have mixed thoughts. What do you think is the sexiest shoe of 2010?
