Top Animal Print Shoes for Women

By Desiree Stimpert, About.com

From leopard prints to croc embossing, animal print shoes are hot this season. The trend has made its way onto every style of footwear imaginable, so everyone can take part in the fun. Below are a few of my favorite animal print shoes, including pumps, flats and even a sneaker for good measure.

1. Madden Girl "Poppyy" - Animal Print Flats

With zebra print fabric uppers and cute contrasting trim, these ballerina flats are the perfect combination of chic and unique. A great style to wear with leggings or pants, these feminine flats are also make a great change of pace for the office.

2. Charles by Charles David "Fanciful" - Snake Print Pumps

Shoes featuring exotic skins (or imitation exotic skins) are among the season's hottest styles, and they don't get much hotter than these open-toed pumps from Charles David. Mixing snake-embossed leather with matte leather, these sexy heels come in bronze, green, natural or black.

3. Lauren by Ralph Lauren "Loura" - Pretty Reptile-Embossed Flats

Take a classic ballet flat and dress it up in leopard spots for a shoe that's anything but ordinary. These pretty skimmers feature haircalf uppers, and 3/8" heels. If you're not into spotted shoes, this one is still worth a look, as there are several other less cat-like versions available.

4. Steve Madden "Sweetee" - Sexy Zebra Platform Sandals

There will be no hiding in these killer platform sandals from Steve Madden. With 4.5" heels, and 1" platform soles, their uppers are made of zebra striped patent, faux pony hair, and more straps than one pair of shoes could ever possibly need.

5. "Pounce" Animal Print Shoes from Carlos Santana

This open-toed pump combines lots of hot features you wouldn't expect to find together on one shoe, creating a nearly irresistible package. Featuring suede uppers with a big cat print on colors like pink, light green, red or brown, the "Pounce" has a 4" heel in metallic gold. On a personal note, the red is so incredible it makes me a little crazy.

6. Guess "Kachina" - Wild Print Pumps with Patent Accents

Loaded with sex appeal, these killer pumps have 3.75" heels, open toes and .75" platform soles. But it's the patent accents that really makes these shoes the queen of the jungle.
