It's always a treat for me when I get to do a top picks in any kind of heels. But, a top picks in high heel sandals? Well, that's just downright nirvana.
I didn't hold back here. I'm pretty sure I didn't pick a shoe with a heel less than three inches high. So if you're shy or faint of heart, you might want to head over to the carousel and sit this one out. Or better yet, check out my Top Picks in Flat Sandals.

1. L.A.M.B. 'Dakota' - Woven Sandals with Sky-High Heels

Chic, artsy and unique, these high heel sandals certainly pack a lot of "wow factor" onto their 4.25 inch heels. The sides are embellished with pyramid studs, and the multitude of skimpy straps make these shoes as flattering as they are glamorous -- and as an added bonus for traditionalists, they don't have platform soles.
2. ZiGiNY 'Erratic' - Gold, Silver and Black High Heel Sandals

The "Erratic" is one fantastically glamorous and attention-getting sandal -- and it's one of those wonderful times when you don't have to choose which color to get, as this style rolls gold, silver and black into one sexy package. The 4.75 inch heel, platform sole, and wide straps would be enough to turn heads, but this sandal also includes gold- and silver-tone hardware, as well as tiny rhinestone embellishments. These high heel sandals would work wonders with a mid-length or shorter cocktail dress.
3. Pour La Victoire 'Tarissa' - Sexy Sandals with High Wedge Heels

You don't have to struggle in a pair of stilettos to enjoy high heel sandals; you could opt for a chunky heel or a wedge heel instead. This season, wedge heeled sandals are especially hot, and there are few styles hotter than these strappy wonders from Pour La Victoire. With 4-inch heels, .75" platform soles, and offered in black, cognac and light gray, the style of these sandals is as versatile as the color choices; they'd be easy to pair with everything from rolled up jeans to skirts and dresses.
4. Dolce Vita 'Lance' - Platform Sandals with High Heels

Sexy and refreshing, these are the sort of sandals you only wear when you don't mind people staring. With 4.75" heels and bundled cord uppers, these platform sandals look great in gold, dark silver, or all-black, and they'd be the perfect accessory for your favorite little black dress.
5. Guess 'Painter' - Striking High Heeled Sandals

The "Painter" from Guess is one of my favorite sandals on the list -- come to think of it, it's one of my favorite sandals on any list. I'm crazy about the artsy, futuristic design of these high heels, and the color combinations are killer as well. Available in black, white / silver, pewter, and black / gold, these sandals have a unique v-cut ankle strap, and a contrasting mid-strap for added interest.
