We think we’ve just met our sole mates – although our bank manager may not agree. A pair of shoes billed as the world’s most expensive have landed in the UAE, and you’ll be able to see them up-close at the world’s only seven-star hotel. The bejeweled gold pumps, designed by Jada Dubai, will be displayed at the Burj Al Arab on September 26 from 5pm.
The extravagant shoes are valued at US $17 million (AED 62.4 million), according to the label, and were created in collaboration with Passion Jewellers, a Dubai-based jewelers. So, what makes them so lavish? Well, the Passion Diamond Shoes feature two flawless, D-grade, 15-karat diamonds at their toe, as well as a trim of smaller glimmering gems. The outer shoe itself is crafted with real gold, with a total of 238 diamonds used overall.

The Diamond Pearl sandals, which cost US $25,000 (AED 91,800), are crafted with a soft peach fabric, delicate floral adornment, and a diamond and pearl tassel. The Ruby Stilettos, however, are embellished with a ruby and diamond clasp and a dainty bow, and are priced at US $27,000 (AED 99,100).
