i also live in/love my leopard shoes - luckily, mine are slings so i can wear the year round. i'm always on the prowl (heh) for cute ones though. i have seen tons of slides/mules but no really cute sandals except for these, which are out of your price range ($198, Casadei at zappos)
i'll keep looking!
