Voting with her feet: Kim Kardashian shows off beau Kanye West's latest shoe design

PUBLISHED: 23:06 EST, 18 November 2012 | UPDATED: 02:47 EST, 19 November 2012

Only a few days ago she was embroiled in a bitter political war of words on Twitter after dipping her toe into the Israeli-Palestinian debate.

But on Sunday, Kim Kardashian was back on more familiar footing on the social media website, posting a photo of her latest gift from her rapper-turned-designer beau.

The seemingly trouser-less reality TV star showed off her new shoes by Italian footwear designer Giuseppe Zanotti crafted in honor of West's Cruel Summer album.

Kim, who appeared to be in her dressing room tweeted a photo of herself sitting cross-legged in the white stiletto heels, called 'Cruel Summer'.

The shoes which were first shown at Milan Spring/Summer 2013 fashion week last month take ancient Greece as their inspiration and feature a cut-out leaf design.

Fashionistas will be green with envy as the chic sandals are not even on the shelves yet.

Kanye and Italian shoe designer Zanotti also collaborated on a pair of shoes earlier this year that loyal love Kim wore on several occasions.

The $5800 knitted ivory sandals were made especially for the rapper's DW by Kanye West catwalk show, which debuted at Paris Fashion Week in March.

While the clothing line was universally panned by fashion critics and Kanye did not return to fashion week this season, the shoes were a hit and this latest addition to the collaboration is causing a stir in fashion circles.

On Friday morning Kim Kardashian sent out a supportive Israel tweet, declaring to her almost 17 million followers that she was “Praying for everyone in Israel.”

On Friday morning Kim had sent out a tweet to her almost 17 million followers declaring that she was 'Praying for everyone in Israel.'

The comment immediately met with a violent backlash, including death threats leading the 32-year-old to add: 'Praying for everyone in Palestine and across the world!'

Kardashian attempted to appease her haters with the follow-up tweet: “praying for everyone in Palestine and across the world!”

However, both tweets soon disappeared from her account and she has returned to discussing other important things – like her two-hour Tracy Anderson workout this morning.

In uncharted waters: Kim was embroiled in a Twitter war of words concerning the Israeli-Palestinian conflict over the weekend

Kardashian addressed the controversy on her blog later on Friday, with a post entitled “A Message to You Guys.”

“I want to own up to and explain that earlier today I sent out two tweets about saying prayers for the people in Palestine and Israel and after hearing from my followers, I decided to take down the tweets because I realized that some people were offended and hurt by what I said, and for that I apologize,” she wrote. “I should have pointed out my intentions behind these tweets when I posted them. The fact is that regardless of religion and political beliefs, there are countless innocent people involved who didnt choose this, and I pray for all of them and also for a resolution. I also pray for all the other people around the world who are caught in similar crossfires.”

But after the vitriol continued Kim deleted both statements from her account and was forced to followed up with a longer post entitled: 'A Message to You Guys.'

'I want to own up to and explain that earlier today I sent out two tweets about saying prayers for the people in Palestine and Israel and after hearing from my followers, I decided to take down the tweets because I realized that some people were offended and hurt by what I said, and for that I apologize,' she wrote.

I would never buy anything of kanyes. He has awful style, controls the way his girlfriend dresses, and I still haven't forgotten about him interrupting Taylor Swift on stage.

Ha - she's not a singer. She's a fashion designer and model. She never said she was a singer. - DD93 , Liverpool, United Kingdom, 19/11/2012 09:47 Nor does it say she designed the shoes. Her other half Kanye West did, and he just happens to be a singer! well rapper if you care to be pedantic about it. Do us a favour and read the article and comments of others carefully before trying to ridicule now its you that just looks the numpty
