For the past month or two, I’ve had my eye on the Kate Spade Licorice Suede Pumps. They come in colors from red to purple to basic black, and I just knew that Kate Spade would eventually turn out a great spring bright that would instantly grab my attention. In this case, patience was indeed a virtue.
Obviously, anyone with two eyes and a love for color knows that the day has come where I can finally write about these shoes in all their glory. Read More…
As functional and wearable as wedges are during warm weather, I find myself feeling like I’ve seen most wedge designs before. A little wood or cork, a few leather straps, et voila: A high-yield, high margin shoe that appeals to a lot of women.

Credit where credit is due: I’ve been aware of United Nude shoes for some time, but lately I had kind of forgotten about the brand until Cintra Wilson’s excellent “Critical Shopper” column about her experience in the brand’s New York store ran recently in the New York Times.

We had many great responses for our first ever installment of #featuremyshoes on Twitter . I immediately started to feel shoe envy and loved seeing every single photo. But there can only be one winner and we choose @NadiaThinks who shared a picture of her Steve Madden Oxfords.
We loved the way her casual tan oxfords looked against the window. Read More…

Since fashion people started talking about kitten heels almost a year ago, the subject has been a fairly divisive one. Some people say that if you’re going to go with a heel, go all the way; others dislike what they see as a truncation of a high heel’s elegant shape. On the other end of the spectrum, many flat-enthusiasts see kitten heels as yet another way for the shoe industry to force them into uncomfortable footwear. Read More…
