Shoe -n- Tell Archives: April, 2006






I saw that Amazon.com is running another Shoe Coupon promotion. Basically, you get $20 off whenever you spend more than $80 on shoes directly from them. Since many of their shoes are already heavily discounted, you could probably get a few pairs at least.

I believe this promotional is …

This coupon is from Shoes.com and features 8% off of your order of $50 or more. The catch is they have to be non-sale items, but if you happen to be looking at some shoes that aren’t on sale anyhow, then this might be for you. As for …

I found these interesting stoneware Shoe Plates in an unrelated search yesterday. These dessert plates are from a site called John Lewis (is that a department store in the UK?) and come in sets of four, with an interesting matching shoe-themed gift box that looks an awful lot like …

According to the Wikipedia, Espadrilles are casual sandals that originated from the South of France in the 17th century. The upper is often made of canvas or cotton fabric with a sole made of woven rope, the defining characteristic of an espadrille. Because of the relatively cheap material, espadrilles were …

I’m usually not such a big fan of shoe websites that are heavy on Flash… and I particularly think it’s poor usability practice to make the actual NAVIGATION in Flash. Hello, what happens if you are blocking it (as many Firefoxers are)?

But there are a few places where I’ll …

Spring is in the air! It’s time to put those cool weather shoes and boots away and start thinking sunny, balmy days and cute outfits to wear. I love these Roxy Nantucket Wedges at Delias - they’re crisp and clean and casual, yet the cute little bow, wedge-styling and …

I caught these colorful and playful cork wedges from Rafe in the latest issue of Lucky under an outfit column labeled “Weekend Chic”. Apparently the look that they’re going for is relaxed enough to be lounging around the house in, but still wearable in case unexpected guests pop over …

I caught the most insane shoe-related thing over on Boing Boing today - a pair of shoes that are made entirely out of freakin’ Computer Keyboards. Geez. This was for the 14th China Intl’ Clothing and Accessories Fair which was held a week or so ago.

Not only did …

Here is a pair of mules I bought last October when I was actually looking for pink shoes. Pink was not in the cards for me that day at the Cabazon Nine West outlet store, but green was, luckily. If you think about it, green dress shoes are kind of …

… on your shoes? I really hate stepping on any foreign sticky material with shoes, but gum can be one of the worst things. I was curious about the different methods of removing gum from the soles of shoes so I did some research online and decided to …

For shoe crazy folks out there, the storage issue is always a rather pressing one. Whether your shoes are tucked away in precarious shoebox towers in your closet, or taking up the entire floor of your front door entryway, it just seems like you’ll never get them organized.

Remember the old show Get Smart featuring Don Adams as Agent Maxwell Smart? He had this completely crazy secret phone which was installed in his shoe that he used to communicate with headquarters. The other day I saw a phone that, while unconcealed and normal, is actually shaped …

Whenever I see the brand “Keds,” I think of those white sneakers with little blue tabs on the heel. Classy and comfortable, but a bit lacking in trend or style.

Imagine my surprise when I was flipping through some magazines during a salon visit and saw Mischa Barton (of “The O.C.” …

I’ve seen this commercial a few times already on TV. It’s rather hard to miss… Ross’s so-called Shoe Week. I’ve never really shopped at Ross that much and their website doesn’t seem to provide that much information on exactly what shoes ARE on sale.

In fact, I found …

Seems it never rains in Southern California. Songwriter Albert Hammond (Albert who?) was right since I rarely get to wear these Eddie Bauer duck shoes unless weather systems with funny names, like El NiƱo or the Pineapple Express, blow into town. I am guessing they are called duck shoes for …

I happened to be flipping through a music magazine lately and there was a huge advertisement for Lacoste shoes. Remember those funny little Izod Lacoste shirts from the 70s and early 80s? This brought back some good memories of the little embroidered crocodile that everyone just had to have.
