Shoes in the News

Posted by kim on December 3, 2008

Headlines from Wayne. Commentaries from Kim.

Financial crisis causes women to crave high heels Great, you mean I’m gonna crave shoes even more that we’re in a economic recession? Good thing I’m an authority on saving money.

Police offer free flip-flops to binge drinkers who keep falling over in heels So I have to get drunk to get some free shoes that I hate?

Models rise and fall in high style Maybe they were drunk and need to wear flip-flops?

Store withdraws Chinese-made footwear after rash Thank goodness they spared us pictures.

Work stacking up for shoe-repair shops I’m thinking it’d be less expensive and more fun to just buy a new pair?

In Her (Johnny Choo) Shoes I still can’t believe Elisabeth Hasselbeck endorsed Sarah Palin.

First we have Mandals, now we have Jandals?

Sarah and Todd Palin

Q: Any idea who makes these shoes worn by Sarah Palin? ~ Alison

A: I researched several pairs of black peep-toe pumps with bows, and since we know Sarah is a Kate Spade fan, I’m guessing she is wearing Kate Spade Gesture Black Satin pumps, $298 from Zappos.com

Other less expensive choices include…

Nina Melia-TS (Black Glitter/Luster Satin) flirty peep-toe pump, originally $83, 50% off for $41.40 from 6pm.com

Jessica Simpson Donora peep-toe pump with grosgrain bow accent, originally $89, on sale for $69.99 from Piperlime.com
