Ritchie buys Madonna's good graces with shoes

Madonna has revealed how husband Guy Ritchie gets back in her good books after a row - by buying her designer shoes.

The Queen of Pop told how Ritchie splashed out on a pair of Jimmy Choo heels after one bust-up.

"Once after an argument I went back to New York and Guy bought me a pair of Jimmy Choo shoes," she said on Channel 4's Richard and Judy chat show.

"They were really sexy lavender sandals with feathers on. Shoes do work - but they wouldn't work now."

Madonna, 46, claims to be less interested in material possessions since taking up the Kabbalah religion.

But she is still a fan of the designer shoes, which start at 300 pounds ($789) a pair.

The singer and actress appeared on the show to promote her new Kabbalah-inspired children's book The Adventures of Abdi.
