KANYE: THESE BOOTS ARE MADE FOR WALKING

We’ve been talking about those big clunky boots by Balenciaga that Kanye West has worn every day for the past few months because they seem to be inappropriate for ALL occasions. But they finally came in handy! Kanye paid an unexpected visit to the Skechers shoe company in Manhattan Beach yesterday and he walked through offices like he owned the place – before he was recognized. We had to laugh when Daily Mail revealed that an office source told them that Kanye was allowed inside because at first he was mistaken for the building’s gardener- thanks to the big BOOTS! After a short conversation, executives escorted Kanye and his companions outside.

SORRY RIHANNA: WORST DRESSED THIS WEEK

Hands down- no competition- Rihanna takes the award for Worst Dressed this week. What WAS she thinking? A woman in the fashion business should know better. Rihanna combined a very short cropped denim micro miniskirt with gigantic baggy boots- granted, there is a peek-a-boo element, but the boots make her look like a truck from every angle. They are probably designer boots that cost a fortune, but why pay a ton of money to look shorter and wider? Grossly unflattering.

LUKA SABBAT AND HIS CLEFT TOE BOOTS

Could NOT resist this photo of Grown-ish star Luka Sabbat, 20, walking down the street in New York, looking adorable. Luka started modeling early on – when he was 15 he did Jimi Hendrix inspired layouts for Vogue and I.D. magazine. (There IS a resemblance) He comes from a family of stylists and designers so it’s no surprise that he’s wearing Martin Margiela cleft toe boots…

KIEFER SUTHERLAND AND HIS KINKY BOOTS

Kiefer Sutherland seen out in Tribeca.

Sure, he LOOKS dapper, but Kiefer Sutherland suffers from “old boot syndrome.” The actor is nicely dressed for a stroll in New York wearing a dark coat and jaunty blue scarf, but when you look at his feet, it’s another story. Colin Farrell is another actor with the same idiosyncratic condition. Both guys have a favorite old pair of broken-in boots they simply cannot part with. Colin’s are his “lucky boots’ and he’s superstitious. Kiefer’s are comfortable and the heel height is just right. They both enjoy the fact that their boots are beat up and distressed looking. New and shiny is simply not as cool. We don’t know of any women with this disorder.

JENNIFER ANISTON LEARNS ABOUT SENSIBLE CITY FOOTWEAR THE HARD WAY

Jennifer Aniston must take her feet for granted because she walks around the dirty and crowded streets of New York wearing skimpy little open sandals as if she were in Malibu. Doesn’t she realize that bad things happen to feet this exposed in the bustling city? Ironically, it was her boyfriend Justin Theroux’s big black boots that ultimately were her downfall. Jennifer says Justin took a step in the wrong direction and broke her toe. Ouch. That wouldn’t happen to Meg Ryan.

ASHLEY TISDALE: THESE BOOTS ARE MADE FOR SHOPPING

Ashley Tisdale (“High School Musical,” “Hellcats”) isn’t usually one our radar but she’s Christmas shopping in some unusual boots. Not only are they on very high platforms but they lace all the way up to the top thigh. Putting them on can’t be so easy and taking them off to try something on would be a real nuisance. But she looks quite proud of her impractical footwear.

AUDRINA PATRIDGE IS TAKING BOOT HYGIENE A BIT TOO FAR

Audrina Patridge may have been distracted because she’s still trying to live down her mother’s tirade after Audrina was cut from “Dancing With the Stars.” That might explain why she’s wearing plastic booties over her suede boots – the kind that doctors and house painters wear. (Maybe she’s planning to return the boots and wants to keep them clean.) Anyway, this is how she looked walking around Beverly Hills.

CHRISTOPH WALTZ AND HIS TRADEMARK BOOTS

Christoph Waltz can’t get out of those vintage riding pants and boots that look so good on him. His Oscar winning Nazi character in “Inglourious Basterds” wore the same authoritative style. Christoph plays a volatile animal trainer for a circus in “Water for Elephants” and apparently he gives Rob Pattinson’s character a hard time. Reese Witherspoon plays Waltz’s long suffering wife.
