Aston Grey - Rockcastle Boots in Black

DSW has a New Years deal where you get $20.13 cents off any purchase of $99 or more if you are a rewards member and type in coupon code HAPPY2013. You also get free shipping for the code SHIPR.

Yes, I already have these shoes in brown but they are the most comfortable boots I ever owned. I decided that the New Year's outfit really needed black boots but I just don't have any.



The crazy thing is just how many coupon codes and rewards points certs I got to use. I pretty much got the boots down to half price. I originally paid like $140 for the first pair. I am becoming obsessed with coupons.



To make it even crazier, I am paying the remaining $59.82 using some DSW gift certs I bought at cardpool.com - its a site where you can buy and sell gift cards. When you buy them, you pay less than the card value so you end up saving a bunch. I ended up saving an additional 9% doing it that way. Technically, I haven't saved yet seeing as the cards come tomorrow but the shoes are in my cart. Lets just hope they don't sell out before the cards get here because I will be so mad if I lose out for 9% of $50.

Mike Konos Burnished Leather Boot

These shoes are so amazing.



The soles are made of that amazing Italian Rubber that smells exactly like Cabbage Patch Kid faces. (e:mike) you know what I am talking about.



I never buy shoes online but I tried these on at the store and they were awesome. For some reason they are $169 at the store but $129 online at the same company.



I asked at the store but they wouldn't match their own online price. That seems so stupid to me. It basic is relegating the brick and mortar store to a try on room.

I finally got my DSW account's merged and online access. For my trouble they gave me an extra 500 points which got me another $10 Cash Reward cert.

New Leather Converse

(e:hodown) sent me these awesome leather and suede converse. The ones with the zipper down the middle of the laces. I can't decide if I should put in the laces that came with them or not. If I use the laces it means I need to do the laces and the zipper to get than on and off.

My Shoe Collection

Here they all are. Each pair has a different purpose except for the near duplicate brown leather low top ones.

I put on my shoes and I'm ready for the weekend

I bought three pairs of shoes for WEMF. A pair of breathable walking shoes, new sandals, and a replacement pair for my WEMF 2008 shoes which are failing apart on the inside. I know its crazy but who knows when this will ever happen again.



I was having the hardest time deciding between size 12 and 13 but at the last minute I looked on Google which said to go big for exercise because your feet swell with exertion.

The best part was that the sandals I almost paid $110 for last week were on clearance for $49. (e:tinypliny) and I actually closed down the mall. To get back to the car we had to travel down some employee hallway which tiny said was murder central.

I feel so fat now that I am medium instead of extra small.







This picture of tiny is so nuts because we were moving so fast.

Buying Shoes Online

Does anyone buy shoes online? I never do it as I am so picky about the fit of a shoe. That, and I find they very often don't have my size 13 (46). I was surfing the shoe sales over at gilt.com and found these.

I freakin' love these shoes. Either one would make me happy but both are sold out and not available in my size anyways ;(

I get the feeling I would like a lot of Elia Maurizi shoes.




I seems impossible to believe they are $149 when the retail price is like $500-600. I just wish they had my size.


These last ones would be so nice if I lived somewhere that dry and clean instead wet and dirty. Imagine how disgusting they would be after one week of life in Buffalo. Imagine how nice they would look on white carpet.

My favorite Shoes So Far

So, I admit I have a slight shoe addiction. I think I have like 10 pairs now. Its not that I love each pair, its just that I have been desperately seeking to replace a really comfortable pair I had before and each pair, while awesome in its own way - from gold sparkle trim, to neon orange letters, to being waterproof - just doesn't live up.

Last week while buying another pair of shoes I found these boots but didn't buy them because they were too expenive. They were like retail $279, then $129 at DSW. Then when I went back they were $99 with an additional 30% off at register and I had a $25 gift certificate and a $10 off coupon. It came to like $34 for a really nice pair of boots.



The fancy leather engraved and wood bottoms look really cool but they are slippery. Especially on ice. I think leather soles get more traction after they are scuffed up a bit.



Okay so maybe the addiction is worse than I thought. I went to the timerland site to see if I could find those shoes and I found these which are all leather and have traction and these which just look comfy.
