Melbourne, Sept 15 : It looks like Republican vice-presidential nominee Sarah Palin is following in the footsteps of Paris Hilton.

The Alaska governor was spotted in a pair of cheeky red Nuaghty Monkey pumps, a brand also favoured by the heiress.

Jay Randhawa, brand director at House of Brands - which markets the Naughty Monkey shoes - told Wall Street Journal that he was surprised tp find Palin wearing a red pair of peep-toe pumps with 3-inch heels.

He said taht the shoes are geared to women in their early to mid-20s who go clubbing.

"The age bracket we target is a little younger. It''s a very edgy, very hip, very street brand," the Courier Mail quoted him, as saying. (ANI)
