The Most Iconic Shoe Moments In Movie History

From Dorothy's red pumps to Julia Roberts' 'Pretty Woman' boots

Sure, on face value, โ€˜shoesโ€™ and โ€˜moviesโ€™ donโ€™t exactly go together. But can you imagine The Wizard of Oz without Dorothyโ€™s red sequinned pumps? Or Forrest Gump without his Nikes?

Or, Kill Bill without those iconic yellow sneakers, adorned with the embossed blink-and-youโ€™ll-miss-it โ€˜Fuck Youโ€™ on the sole? Besides, donโ€™t even get us started on a Sex And The City movie without Carrieโ€™s iconic crystal-adorned Manolo Blahniks.

The truth is, the history of cinema is riddled with iconic shoe momentsโ€”and seeing as we love footwear and great films in equal measure, we want to celebrate them.

From Jane Fondaโ€™s black-and-white knee-high boots in Barbarella, to the legendary leather Chanel boots in The Devil Wears Prada, scroll down for the most major shoe moments in film history.
