Sarah Palin was lauded for her style when she first hit the scene as the unexpected Republican Vice Presidential candidate. Women were copying her RNC look from the sexy red peep toe pumps she wore to her updo and smart-looking glasses.

The pumps Palin wore to the Republican National Convention, a brand also favored by Paris Hilton called Naughty Monkey, were recently auctioned off on eBay by a seller claiming to be her niece. The winner will also also take home some autographed photos of the Alaskan governor and has the option to have the shoes autographed. These shoes were purchased by Palin in Juneau and are not part of the six figure wardrobe that caused a scandal when the news broke that her designer clothing was bankrolled by the RNC.

Up for bid are thee actual Red Naughty Monkey Heels owned/worn by Sarah Palin. I got the shoes from Aunt Sarah after mentioning that I liked them. They dont fit to well, so I decided to let someone else enjoy them. These are the exact heels that made headlines. If you search “Sarah Palin’s Red Shoes” on a serach engine, you will find multiple blogs, articles, and stories on these shoes. You could own a piece of history!!! The shoes are NOT autographed, but the buyer has the option of having them autographed!! I included pictures of the shoes, the autographed pictures, the Sharpie pen, and me and my aunt (just taken a couple days ago).

The shoes, which retail for around $85 to $90, went for $2,205 on the auction site. There’s no word yet what Sarah’s niece is going to do with the money or if her aunt approved the sale.

The RNC has been criticized for failing to donate Palin’s campaign clothing to charity, as they promised to do when the news came out that her clothing was paid for by the party. A charity auction expert recommends that the RNC auction off the rest of Palin’s clothing in order to maximize profits for a good cause:

Says Modi Frank–who runs Giving Engine, which manages auctions for non-profits and schools using EBay as a platform: “If this is indication of the vaue of her clothing, then the RNC should definitely begin auctioning off her clothes for charity, since charities are really hurting in this economy, and it would be a wonderful cause-marketing for Palin as well.”

We’ll have to see if that ever happens, but it seems like the RNC has other things to worry about at this point than what they’re going to do with Palin’s clothes.

Here are some photos from eBay and screenshots of the auction.
