Nine More Brown Mules for Kim

This may be the last edition of “Kim Exclusive Brown Mules” as I believe “the shoe-obsessed” Wayne has retired from sending out his “shoe porn” – I think he’d make a great blogger, and I will miss his emails!

Sperry Top-Sider Bainbridge Mules, $90 from Macy’s

Cole Haan Air Luna Shearling Clogs, $131.95 from Zappos.com

Cole Haan Air Sara Clogs, $191.95 from Zappos.com (These are my second favorite pair this time)

Cordani Darma platform wedges, $215 from Zappos.com (I think the wool trim defeats the purpose of keeping your foot warm when the whole ankle back is exposed?)

Born Lella Clogs, $99.95 from Zappos.com (These are my absolute favorite pair of the bunch)

No Cole Haan in Nebraska

Posted by squeak on July 23, 2007

This past weekend we were in a Member Guest Golf tournament, and my guest had a on some really cute shoes. When I asked about them, she told me she got them on a trip when she was in Arizona. So today as I’m on looking ColeHaan.com, I see that Nebraska is not even listed. What’s up with that, do they think we don’t wear shoes in this state? Anyway, she was telling me how comfortable the shock absorbing Nike Air sole was. Good thing I can order these Cole Haan Air Brylee Stud Thongs online from Zappos.com!
