Q: Hello, I’m searching for this patent black/white tuxedo ankle boot as seen on ebay. I’m from Germany and I can’t find them in size 38. Can you help me? ~ Katja
A: Hi Katja, First off, I would recommend contacting that ebay seller as it looks like they are a power seller with many, many listings, and they may have some in stock, just not listed. Without knowing the brand name of these shoes, it is difficult to find, but we found some similar alternatives (click pics below for more info). Can anyone else help Katja?

Every year, my cousin and I get together to make Christmas cookies and candy. We made them before Thanksgiving this year since she was due to have her twins that next week. My favorites are the cut-out sugar cookies. Since those cookies are a big hit at our house, we have several cookie cutters to use year-round (ie hearts for Valentine’s Day, pumpkins for Halloween), but when I saw that they make shoe cookie cutters, oh my! Those would be perfect for ANY day! Get your own Ladies’ Day Cookie Cutters from Amazon.com.

ChineseLaundry.com can barely keep up with the huge requests for Blake Lively’s flat tall suede boots. So, we found you some similar styles (and less expensive!)…
I also like Dr. Scholl’s Discover Suede Tall Shaft Boots, and they are only $49.99 from SmartBargains.com (reg. $99.95). The brand Dr. Scholl’s sounds “old” to me, but I seriously would buy these - I wouldn’t have to tell anyone the brand name! Next up, let’s see if we can find some Ugg Alternatives!

Supermodel Elle Macpherson was in her native Australia on Christmas day and was spotted wearing Ugg Classic Tall Boots (also Ugg’s motherland) on the beach. Don’t they wear pants in Aussie? I guess it is summer there, but still.

While sitting in the doctor’s waiting room and reading a magazine, I came across an advertisement for pediped shoes. The full page ad was filled with cute little shoes like this Giselle style. What little baby girl wouldn’t look cute is these?

Last Christmas season, my brother told me I needed to resign my Christmas sweatshirts as they are “for old people”. I replied “no, they’re not” until we walked into a restaurant and saw only blue-hairs (and me) wearing the holiday attire. He rested his case.
I haven’t given up my Christmas socks, though. And I wonder what my brother would think about these J. Renee Christmas Tree flats (available from ShoeBuy.com)?
In honor of Christmas tomorrow, there will be no shoe posts as we reflect on Jesus, the real reason of the season. Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good shoe day!

I’m all for wearing boots in the winter with skirts and sweaters, but not so sure I would wear these. This lace-up Opal boot by Ann Marino is described as ”ready for fun”. It’s description also mentions the “stiletto heel will give you great rise”, and “the tall shaft will make your legs look marvelous”. Also stated is that it’s “a great boot to wear with dresses and skirts”. Ok, maybe I’ll reconsider. Ann Marino Opal Lace-Up Boots available from FamousFootwear.com - $49.99. Don’t forget Famous Footwear is offering the Famous 1/2 Price Sale! Buy one pair, get the second pair of equal of lesser value for 1/2 price! Plus FREE Ground Shipping! Shop Now!

When looking for new styles on Shoebuy.com I came across these Mellow World Rose Parade shoes. The description states these adorable silk flats are smooth and comfortable to walk in. While I may agree with that comment, I still wonder, where do you wear these? For one thing it’s winter here in Nebraska, and these would provide no warmth nor traction on snow and ice. I think I will leave it that they should be slippers, and not shoes. You’ll have to check them out as there are several other colors and patterns, such as Rainbow Multi and Blossom Orange to pick from.
