Three Things: Shoe Websites.

So, it's probably not a shocker to you that I love to shop for shoes. Unless you're a stranger that stumbled upon my blog, and then it might be, I suppose. If you care nothing about shoes, I suggest you just skip this one...


People often ask me where I buy my shoes, since I seem to have a never-ending supply, and I almost always recommend the following three:


1. Heels.com
I can rarely afford all the shoes I want here, but they have an amazing selection! It's a great website, it the way it's displayed, ease of use, and how you can narrow down what you're looking for. As the name implies, they have pretty much only heels (also some boots, flats, and sandals, but you won't find, say, athletic shoes...) A bonus though: (if I'm not mistaken) 2nd day free shipping.


2. Zappos.com
I've only recently made my first purchase from them, but again, a GREAT selection. Unlike Heels.com, they have a wider variety of types of shoes, and the pair I just bought there was a pair of Nike light weight racing shoes and the prices are a little more competitive. They have free shipping both ways (always!) and you can return them up to 365 days after you've bought them. Amazing! I know I'll be using this website a lot more in times to come.


3. DSW.com
Most of their shoes are actually in my price range, which is nice, and you can accumulate points towards discounts, too. Their selection isn't as big as the first two, but they have everything from women's formal to men's casual. The best deal I ever got was from this website, when last year on St.Patrick's day, I got to have 50% taken off everything I bought that day (6 pairs of shoes later....) which was just in time for my birthday :)


4. (a bonus...) Macys.com
I love Macy's in general. Being a card holder I get a lot of discounts and coupons, so I can usually get what I want for a minimum of 25% off, which is always enjoyable. Their site is great for reviews, and you can always return things to the store if it doesn't work out for whatever reason.


Now, the place I buy most of my shoes is split pretty evenly between Macy's and Nordstrom Rack, but unfortunately, NR doesn't have a website, but you can get things there for SO CHEAP! Or, at least, a lot cheaper than they were originally.


Anyways, in case you cared, these are my favourite places to shop, even it's only window-shopping.
