The Christmas party season calls for a great pair of shoes.

If price is no object, Lesley from Fashion Tribes has found the ultimate pair: gorgeous black satin Christian Louboutin mules.

For just as much style (and a much smaller price tag) try Kenneth Cole’s ‘Two 2 Tango’ black suede ankle strap sandals.

The simple, classic style means you’ll be able to wear them for at least a few seasons — plus they’re suitable for work so long as the dress-code is ’smart casual’.

They’re available in sizes 6-10; ships to U.S. only.

PS: U.S. readers: similar shoes in other sizes & price ranges:

• Under $130: Delman black suede ‘Rascal’ ankle-wrap sandals in sizes 5.5 to 11 for $129.99. (Also in black satin for $135.99.)
• Under $60: Jessica Simpson Kass slide in sizes 6-10 for $49.99.
  
• Under $40: Martinez Valero ‘Chacha’ sandal in silk or in metallic suede in sizes 6-10 for $38.89.
• Under $10: Mossimo
