It’s a whole lotta ‘sole’

She’s got shoes in spades.

Stiletto-loving poker pro Beth Shak, 41, regularly cashes in her chips to fuel a pedestrian passion, buying shoes — and at 1,200 pairs, she has enough to put Carrie Bradshaw to shame.

The comely card sharp has three closets filled with enough size-7 designer shoes to make her the envy of footwear-loving ladies everywhere.

“It’s my one happiness,” said Shak, 41, who is single and has a pad on Park Avenue, along with her primary home in Bryn Mawr, Pa.

The stylish shoe fiend, who has competed in poker tournaments across the globe, said her collection includes a whopping 700 pairs of Christian Louboutins valued at nearly $500,000.

“To me, his shoes are like fine art,” the 5-foot-4½-inch poker ace said of Louboutin, whose heels make her 5-foot-10. “It’s like wearing a piece of jewelry.”

Her Louboutin love has even yielded a side benefit: Shak said the Paris-based shoe company now takes special orders from her and tips her off to limited-edition stilettos. “They pretty much just e-mail me pictures, and I get to pick what I want,” she crowed.

She thinks there’s nothing wrong with a guy buying some for his gal. In fact, she encourages it.

“Turn over a pair of our shoes, see what size we are, and bring home a pair of shoes,” she said.

Since going poker pro in 2004, Shak has played in the World Series of Poker and the European Poker Tour, sometimes while wearing her favorite shoes: a custom-made, one-of-a-kind pair of hot-pink Walter Steiger heels, with a spade on the toe, of course.

“I have people say, ‘Where can you get these?’ And I’m like, ‘You can’t. I have the only pair,’ ” Shak said.

She said a favorite of her male opponents at the poker table is her Louboutin knee-high boots, worn with skinny jeans.

Her local shoe-hunting grounds are Christian Louboutin’s Horatio Street store and Barneys in Manhattan.

“Her style is on the sexy side,” said Barneys shoe seller Oscar Lopez, 41. “I don’t think I’ve ever sold her a pair of flats.”

Shak, who will be featured in the upcoming film documentary “God Save My Shoes,” is looking to pair herself with a charity to give away up to 100 pairs of her used designer heels.

But there’s one pair she won’t be donating: The brand-new Louboutins she’s waiting to get her hands on, with googly eyes pasted all over them.

“They are coming my way,” Shak said with pride.
