What a Deal to Boot

Rampage Stretch Knee High Boot

I bought a pair of these Rampage Stretch Knee High Boots at the beginning of Winter and have been wearing them a lot. 

Well, that was until I slipped on the ice and broke off a heel.

So, last Sunday when I was out shopping, I found the same boot at Famous Footwear for $25 plus they had an additional 25% off Clearance, and I had a $5 off coupon! Grand total $14.71- what a deal!

Born to Love Brown Mules

Out of the e-mail bag…

I have never tried Born shoes before until one day my daughter was telling me about them and I found a pair on sale. I WAS SOLD on BORNS from that day on. I cannot believe how well they feel on my feet let alone wearing them all day.  I LOVE THEM! ~ Rhonda, Oklahoma

So far, I only own one pair of Born shoes, so after reading Rhonda’s email decided to browse the Born section of Zappos…. Oh my, was I in Heaven!  Y’all should know by now that brown mules are my absolute favorite, so these weakened my heart (click on pics for more info)…

Skyhorse Publishing is Calling All Shoe Lovers!

We’re putting together a book on our passion for shoes, and we want your help!

If you are a REAL shoegirl, the relationship you have with your shoes is deep, meaningful, mutually satisfying. But even you, shoe aficionado that you are, have a favorite pair, the crown jewel of your collection. 

The Shoes. Maybe they’re the hot new heels you bought for Saturday nights out, those sweet boots you got cheap at an end of season sale, or something less flashy and more sentimental, like the shoes you were wearing when your husband proposed, or the sneakers you wore when you backpacked across Europe after graduating college.

Whatever they are, we want to see them.  So drag them out of the closet, give ‘em a shine, and take some snapshots.  Then tell us why these are The Shoes.  Give us a little history.  Let us feel the love.  If we love them like you love them, we’ll put your shoes (and your name!) in the book.

The Details - Send us those shoe pics and 50-250 words about why you love them.  Direct all emails to ilovemyshoes@skyhorsepublishing.com  - Include your name and email address, so we can contact you if we choose your shoes.

Make sure all photos are at a resolution of 300 dpi (if you’re shooting with a digital camera, set the resolution as high as you can), so we can admire your shoes in their true glory.  Also, keep them smaller than 8” x 8”. 

Be creative!  Take your shoes on a photo shoot around town (or around the house).  The photo is only limited by your imagination, just keep the focus on the shoes (not that we have to tell you that).

The Legal Stuff - Don’t steal photos out of magazines or off shopping sites.  We want your shoes, walked in, lived in, and loved. You agree that when you send a Submission via email, you grant Skyhorse Publishing Inc. a non-exclusive, irrevocable, royalty-free license to use the work. We may use, copy, sublicense, adapt, transmit, distribute, publish, display or otherwise use it as we see fit, in our sole discretion. By making a Submission, you waive the right to make any claim against Skyhorse Publishing Inc., its owners or any of its respective parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, employees, agents, directors, officers and shareholders relating to the Submission, including, but not limited to, unfair competition, invasion of privacy, negligence, breach of implied contract or breach of confidentiality.

Good New York Walking Shoes

Merrell Tetra Wave SlideMy mom called to tell me she bought some new shoes to go to New York again.  Um, does that mean I have to take her along again? LOL.

Since shattering her ankle, it is hard for her to find a pair of decent shoes to walk any distance in. But yesterday she bought these Merrell Tetra Wave Slides and reports they are “very, very, very (yes, she said ‘very’ three times) comfortable, and they feel like wearing tennis shoes with a good cushion inside.”  Available from ShoeBuy.com.

Nursing Whites

Think about the last time you were in the hospital, either as a patient or as a visitor, and think about what the nurse was wearing for shoes. I think of crocs, walking or tennis shoes. But thinking back a good decade or so ago, the nurses wore ugly white shoes such as this. My son had surgery a couple weeks ago, and one of the nurses came in wearing these Women’s Porpet Mary Jane Walkers. It looked odd to see someone wearing them. I’m sure the extra-volume fitting and velcro strap make them comfortable, but thank goodness I do not have to wear anything thing on my feet that meets Medicare A5500 Guidelines.

Ice-Cream? No, Pastry Marshmallows

Pastry Marshmallow BootsPastry Marshmallow Boots
For a look that is cozy, cute and mellow, sport the new Marshmallow Boot by Pastry, available in Dark Chocolate and Pink (personally, I think it would be more fun to be called Raspberry).  With a foldable collar, they are similar to Uggs, but they also offer a detachable Pastry logo I.D. tag and chain that decorates the heel and can also be worn as an adorable bracelet.  Pastry is a fun, fashion brand designed for stylish young ladies by Vanessa and Angela Simmons last year.

Sheen Sisters in Stride Rite Shoes

Charlie Sheen and Brooke Mueller takes girls to the zoo

Stride Rite PandoraActor Charlie Sheen (I love Two & A Half Men) took his daughters, Sam, 3 1/2, and Lola Rose, 2 1/2, to the Los Angeles Zoo last Sunday with his fiance, Brooke Mueller.  (Their mom is Denise Richards).

Both girls are wearing Stride Rite’s TT Pandora Sports Shoes, available from Zappos.com - $49.95 - Free Shipping. Besides wearing the same shoes, the not-twin sisters are also wearing the same hoodie, which is one of my pet peeves.

What’s The Big Difference?

Block Tan Dance Shoes

Ok, look really close at these two dance shoes. Can you tell much of a difference between these two shoes? Not much.  How about if they were on stage, could you tell then? No. Exactly!  You cannot tell at a glance. My daughter has a dance recital coming up, and she is required to buy both of these styles! I get the feeling the studio is going to make some profit of selling shoes, huh? Don’t get me wrong, Bloch dance shoes are worth their value. It’s just when you have nine performances, do you really need nine different pairs of shoes? I’ve found it’s cheaper to buy dance shoes online than through the studio… Bloch Enduro Tech Booties and Bloch Neo-Flex Slip Ons are both available from Zappos.com with Free Shipping (and free returns if they don’t fit)!
