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.

Mom Gives Thumbs Up to Skechers

Posted by kim on November 5, 2007

As you read this, I will be in New York City with my mother for Ad-Tech. Ah, the joys of Wordpress being able to edit the timestamp to post in the future while away. Anyway, my mom wanted some new shoes before our trip, so she opted for these Women’s Skechers Bikers Jersey Sandals (yes, they are sandals).  And I asked her to write up a blurb on why she chose these particular shoes, and she responded…

Yes, those are the exact shoes I bought.  I thought they were very comfortable and kind of sporty looking with my T&C shirt and slacks.  I liked the look of them right away, but was told by the salesperson that her mother had a pair and thought they were really comfortable.  That’s what really sold me.  I also have the problem with my foot and they are soft in the back and were comfortable all day long on my part of the foot that has the plate and screws. ~ Mom

Finding a pair of comfortable fitting shoes for my mom is not an easy task, but this shoe sounds like a winner.  Although if a salesperson told me their mom bought some shoes I was looking it, I’d run thinking “old lady shoes”.  I hope mom’s salesperson was a teenager!

These popular Skechers featuring a leather upper with canvas trim, elastic bungee lacing, and modern pronged rubber outsoles are available from ShoeBuy.com with Free Shipping!

Hoot Hoot Who is Wearing These

Posted by squeak on September 10, 2007

A co-worker came in this morning wearing this Mary Jane inspired sneaker from Skechers. I commented how cute she looked with her denim skirt and brown T-shirt. She asked if I had noticed the owl at the heel of it, and I had not. I was more interested that the plaid had both black and brown.  That’s a double bonus when combining those two colors as it makes it easier to wear with several outfits.  Women’s Skechers Soulmates Reality Check Sneakers are available from ShoeBuy.com.
