Here’s our opening play for Super Bowl Sunday: an afternoon of great shoe shopping at Coco Pari (www.cocopari.com), a fabulous boutique in the resurgent town of Red Bank. A museum-quality display holds all the well-heeled wonders money can buy.

Our first goal is to take the field in a pair of Christian Louboutins (www.christianlouboutin.fr) -- because we love them, we deserve them, and we look great in them!

Celebrities rush to his signature red sole, stacked heel shoes. The sweeping, sculptured profile of Louboutin has decorated the tootsies of everyone from Jennifer Lopez to Kelly Ripa.

Or, for a perfectly executed blitz: Louboutin?s eye-popping red patent leather shoes. You can even play the rookie with a perfect schoolgirl gingham plaid pair on a cork heel.

Still need to get into the zone? Tackle a pair of jeweled sandals from Rene Caovilla (www.renecaovilla.com), with the crystals delicately set by hand. Let your feet receive the sparkling Giuseppe Zanotti flip-flops. Don’t pass on the classic Jimmy Choos (www.jimmychoo.com) either.

If you are having trouble defending the concept of an $800 pair of shoes, think of it this way? if you wear them twenty times, it will cost you $40 per wearing. Almost like going to Payless!

Your shopping day at an end, head home to make the dip, watch the game, and treasure your new designer shoes. We hope the footwear will help you score after the football is over!
