I promised to write about my current (subject to change with a new purchase) favorite Skechers Sandals. These Skechers Expose Sandals won a top six spot of the shoes I didn’t pack away. I actually bought them at the same time I purchased my Aerosole Mules.

They are quite comfortable (and notice nothing between the toes!) and also quite versatile. I wear them with jean shorts or capris. They also come in Black, but I like the Brown leather better. I give them a thumbs up!

This just in… I get email updates from Amazon of their specials. And this one included SHOES! So thought I’d share….

54% OFF - Skechers Men’s Morpheus Side Trim Sneaker - Only $29.90

50% OFF - adidas Women’s Kumasi Outdoor Shoe - Only $34.90

50% OFF - Dr. Martens Men’s Moc Toe Lace Up - Only $44.90

And just when I wanted to go to bed… Looks like I may go shopping in my PJ’s.

My cousin felt sorry for my aching feet and loaned me a pair of her old Skechers Sneakers to wear while painting. I am partial to Nike sneakers, but beggers can’t be choosers.

This is the first pair of Skecher sneakers I have owned, and I can’t complain yet. I doubt she wants them back as they are now embellished with multiple shades of paint from my new house. But I do own several pairs of Skecher sandals which I love. I promise to write about my fav pair next.

I am having major withdrawals from all my beloved pairs of shoes. If you read my House for Kim blog, you will know that I am currently “homeless” as my new house is being built. We are living out of suitcases while our belonging are in storage. And I only packed *gasp* 6 pairs of shoes to last me through the month! I’m sure I’ll have to buy a couple more pairs to curb my appetite.

This week I am painting the house. And I forgot to pack an old pair of shoes to paint in! So, I had to decide what pair (of the 6) I was willing to ruin. They had to be practical and not terribly expensive. My Adidas Slides lost and are now adorning some beautiful shades of pink and tan. I must admit my feet are starting to hurt. I think tennis shoes would have been a better choice.

A dear reader, Wayne, knows my hatred of flip-flops so shared this CBS Sunday Morning Story with me: Flip-Flops, Footwear Of Pharoahs - A ‘Fad’ So Old It’ll Make Your Toes Curl.

My stomach did a flip-flop (pun intended) when I read this paragraph… “I have to say, I think they’re much more than a trend,” Gunn says, “and I think that they are so fully embedded into the culture that they’re not going anywhere, and if anything, the number of wearers will expand. ”

Great. Just Great.

I don’t want to bore you with my shoes all of the time (although it will take me to infinity to review them all). So, I encourage readers to email me with your favorite shoe styles. Wouldn’t you love to see your name in lights as a Shoeaholics Anonymous Favorite?

From Shmuly of One Park Avenue Reality: “My favorites are the Cole Haan with the Nike Air (I have three such pairs).”

If I were a guy, I think they would be at the top of my Fav List as well. Shoes.com has a great selection of Cole Haan shoes. Plus Shoes.com offers Free Shipping to all 50 states, Free Returns AND 115% Lowest Price Guarantee.

This Shoe Quiz is geared towards students, but being the shoe lover that I am, I took it anyway. And I’m a flip-flop? Didn’t I stress enough I don’t like flip-flops?

What Kind Of Shoe Are You?

You are the flip flop!
Take this quiz!

Ok, I just looked at all the possible results. I should be glad I’m a flip-flop and not a busted converse or a goth boot.

I used to associate Payless Shoes with “cheap”. Probably because I grew up with no money, and my friends all had Nikes while I had the Nike knock-offs from Payless.

But the last time the ran their “Buy One, Get One Half Off” Sale, I gave them a second chance. They do now carry a few good brand names! I ended up buying a pair of Champion Sneakers and some Airwalk clogs (not the Croc wannabe’s). I wanted to show a picture/link to one or the other, but I do not see either carried online anymore. They obviously change their stock frequently.

Plus they’ve modernized their Logo! I can honestly recommend them now. And take advantage of their BOGO offer (ends 9/5)!

When my daughter, Macy, was a baby in the hospital, one of the nurses asked me if I named her after Macy’s Department Store or after the Macy’s Indian Reservation? Um, neither. Fact is, I didn’t want to name her Macy. But the name fits her well.

Anyway, I took the girls shopping for school clothes yesterday. Famous Footwear is having their Buy One, Get One 1/2 off Sale! Macy wanted “shock shoes”, so I was happy to see the price tag on the Adidas Ezya Cross-Trainers. Regularly $74.99. On Sale for $49.99. Even Free Shipping Online.

But I wasn’t going to waste my 1/2 price opportunity. And Macy’s twin sister, Mallory already found some Nike Impax Running Shoes at another store. I ended up finding a pair of Nike Xccelerator on sale for my youngest daughter.

I had forgot to bring along my Rewards Coupon to use, but the gal had said if I bring in my receipt with the coupon, she’d give me money back. What a deal. Instead, I think I may have to BOGO myself a few new pairs of shoes. Have I mentioned lately how I love Famous Footwear?

Now, I am not a big Birkenstock fan. Not exactly sure why. But a lot of people obviously are as I featured these Betula Licensed by Birkenstock Bump Sandals for only $39.95 in my last ShoppingBookmarks’ Hot Deals & Freebies eNewsletter, and the response was exceptional. Originally listed at $109.95, it’s hard to resist the deal.
