    2. Chelsea rain boots for any aspiring Gene Kelly. You'll be able to comfortably practice singin' in the rain...

    3. Gold heels that are better than a golden ticket. Dear Willy Wonka, can you give these away instead?

    10. Kitten heels prrr-fect for any occasion. They'll give you some extra height without the aching feet.
