1. Shoes Gallery Calendar 2010 - Gorgeous Box Desk Calendar
This is probably my favorite shoe calendar, and I get each year's edition -- I can't wait to start on 2010. Based on the fabulous book, "Shoes : A Celebration of Pumps, Sandals, Slippers & More" by Linda O'Keefe, this artistic, page-a-day calendar stands upright on a desk or table, and makes a great gift, as the recipient will be reminded of your thoughtfulness each and every day of the year.
2. 365 Days of Shoes - 2010 Picture-A-Day Wall Calendar
Also inspired by Linda O'Keefe's book, this 2010 calendar also features a different shoe every day, but instead of sitting on your desk and waiting to be changed every day, it hangs on your wall and features a monthly format. Each month features a theme, with one large picture per month, and smaller pictures featured on the grid.3. Mini Wall Shoes Calendar from the Metropolitan Museum of Art
If you're on a limited budget, or your recipient is limited on wall space, this mini wall calendar from the Metropolitan Museum of Art might be just the thing you're looking for. At only 7" by 7" closed, this little calendar packs a big punch, and rings up at less than $10.4. 2010 High Style - Shoes Calendar from the Bata Shoe Museum
The Bata Shoe Museum in Ontario, Canada is home to some of the most famous and unique shoes in the world, including a John Lennon "Beatle Boot," and a pair of silver and red platform boots worn by Elton John in the early 1970s. Can't make it to Toronto any time soon? No worries, you can now see some of the museum's impressive collection in this 2010 wall calendar. This year's version features 5 fantastic shoe images per month, and if you are near Toronto, you can take advantage of the "one free admission" coupon printed right inside this calendar.5. 2010 Andy Warhol "Taming of the Shoe" Calendar
I'm a big fan of Andy Warhol's work -- especially his shoe illustrations. This multilingual wall calendar features vivid images of pumps, sandals and boots created by the famed pop artist. It's sure to delight shoe fans, art fans, and of course, Warhol fans.
