It's time to update our annual shoe shopping guide, where we recommend the best places to dress up your feet.

We left off where to get sneakers (despite their major fashion moment), but you can shop for those on this list. One more note: Most of these stores focus on women's footwear, though some location also carry men's products. Check out our map of 13 stores below. Thoughts? Suggestions?

Lipstick red soles tip you off to these sexy shoes. Christian Louboutin added the lacquer to the soles when he felt they needed more pizzazz. He grabbed a bottle of red nail polish and a signature style was born. He single-handedly brought the stiletto back into fashion in the ’90s, so you can blame him for the 5-inch standard he set. Again, large department stores from Barneys New York to Neiman Marcus carry the line, but at this boutique tucked away in the Grand Canal Shoppes you’ll find the entire collection instead of an edited version. You can also find Louboutins at the Forum Shops at Caesars.
The Donald J Pliner collections offer men's and women's footwear, hosiery, handbags, eyewear, belts and leatherwear products made of luxurious materials that smoothly bend style and comfort.

This store carries a wide range of American and European designers such as Christian Dior, Cocobelle, Cole Haan, D&G, DVF, Kors, L.A.M.B, Rock & Republic, Stuart Weitzman, Twelfth Street and Via Spiga. There’s nothing understated about this boutique. Across the way you can find Capri to help you put together a complete look.
“You can take my Fendi baguette, you can take my ring and my watch, but don’t take my Manolo Blahniks," Carrie Bradshaw famously said to her mugger. These shoes are more like works of art than shoes you would wear. But wear them anyway.

Throw on your favorite heels and get to Shoe In at Wynn Las Vegas for a hefty collection of designer shoes.
