Cutouts shoes can be really hot!

Everywhere you look there are cutouts.  Cut out shoes, cut out jeans, cut out dress, cut out tops.  Why do we all love cutouts so so much.  Men love them because they provide just enough skin to keep the imagination working.  Women love them because they keep the men looking.  And, we love them because they look so good.  So, we continue to get new cut out tops, dresses, jeans and SHOES! 

 

Pictured here is the Michael Kors addition to the cutout craze.  If you have ever owned a pair of cutout shoes or sandals, you know that one of the problems with this type of shoe is the way the straps work around the baby or pinky toe.  If the straps aren’t placed just right, the pinky toe finds its way out of the straps and is pinched  when you move your feet – very uncomfortable.  This is such an uncomfortable problem that the shoes probably find their way into the trash  after only a few wearings. 

Well, it looks like Mr. Kors added extra straps where the pinky toe fits in the shoe to help keep that toe in place and the shoes comfortable to wear.  Thanks Mr. Kors.  This beauty costs over $700, so you need to be sure and wear your heel shield when you drive in this shoe.  Not only will you damage the leather, but you will have funny dirt lines on your feet. May as well spend the measly little $15.99 and save your $700 shoe. 

This shoe belongs to Vanessa Rossington and it is really HOT!!! A really Hot example of the cutout shoe!  Thanks for letting me use this picture Vanessa!

Whoopi in a Wedge Boot/Elizabeth in a rerun!

I got a chance to look at the view recently.  And the shoes on the show were good.  Whoopi had on a black wedge.  I love it when Whoopi wears a nice shoe.  Barbara and Joy had on sensible (not my descriptive word – borrowing from the industry) black pumps.  In fact, this seems to be their footwear of choice these days. 

Sherrie had on knee-high black boot.  Carrie Prejean wore a tan hidden platform with a 4-5 inch heel – really nice like Sherrie’s.   And, Laurence Fishburne wore a boot with  brass toes and flower patterned jeans.  I don’t usually find Laurence to be sexy, but he was hitting on all points today. 

And Elizabeth AGAIN wore a jeweled tan peep toe.  I think she really likes this shoe since I know I she has worn it before.  Now I am going to have to see the shoes every day to see how many times she wears them this season.

Shoes at the Chgo Football Classic

The Football Classic is a Chicago Classic.  Most of the party is in the hallways of the Suites and in the Parking Lot.  The battle of the bands gets the most fan attention.  And lots of people come out.  There are so many people to reacquaint with and new people to meet, that sometimes I forgot to take pictures.   

These are the first shoes and the last shoes of the day. 

The men in Chicago also pride themselves on having really stylish shoes!  The slacks were also something to see, but we were really only shooting pictures of shoes.  Except for the black leather/vinyl leggings! (She looked Great!)

                                

The shoes ran the gamut – flats, sandals, boots, shooties, sequined heels, and of course  pumps!

 

The following shoes are my favorites from the day.  Now understand, all of the shoes I photographed stood out on their own. 

So, thanks and congratulations to all of the Shoe Aficionados.  Sorry about the picture of the man’s shoe, the toe of the shoes had a nice angle.  Which one is your favorite.  Feel Free to leave a comment voting for your favorite!!!!.   

Thanks to the Barefoot Drivers!

I just wanted to say “Thank You” to all of the Barefoot Drivers.  No, I am not happy that you are not a customer.  A Heel Shield is a much better option than driving barefoot – keeps the inside and outside of the shoe clean. 

And, barefoot drivers probably don’t realize that along with the dirt from their car mats (that is going into the ‘shoes they are trying to save’) are thousands  of bacteria.  And, we all know what bacteria does in dark damp places! 

I realize that  for years you have tried all sorts of things to protect the outside of your shoe, (towels and special mats) – but Heel Shields weren’t invented yet.  So you settled on barefoot driving.  I am sorry that the inside of your shoes may have an odor and the inside not look so good.  I am sorry it took so long to get Heel Shields on the market.  But I thank you for validating the need for Heel Shields by taking off your shoes to PROTECT YOUR SHOE INVESTMENT!

The Cobbler and The Heel Shield

I stopped by my cobbler’s  shop today with my Magic Marketing Master to see if he  could coerce The Cobbler into starring in a video about Heel Shields. 

Prior to stopping by, my cobber was unaware of my product and probably didn’t remember me either (but that is another story). 

 

Anyway MMM (Magic Marketing Master) asked the cobbler  about repairing the shoe having BLACK HEEL (the damage to the rear of the shoe caused by UNPROTECTED driving).  The Cobbler stated: “we can clean them but the place where the leather is damaged – CAN’T BE REPAIRED.  

The Cobbler went on to tell us about how in the past he carried items that were placed on the car mats – but he eventually stopped carrying them – BECAUSE – they didn’t work. 

The Cobbler was quite skeptical about the Heel Shield at first.  SOOOO, I showed him how the Heel Shield would fit on the damaged shoe.  THEN, I put the same Heel Shield on the boot of the MMM and back on the ladies high heel.  HE WAS SOLD!

The Cobbler placed an order on the spot!  Still we couldn’t get The Cobbler to do the video – OH WELL!

Whoopi wore Heels

Last week on The View Whoopi wore Heels (actually shooties). She looked wonderful. So, now I have a new reason to watch the view - to see if Whoopi is going to keep up her new shoe style.

Last month, Whoopi was wearing something that looked liked clogs - yuuck! Now, she is wearing more stylist shoes. Since I am very much into shoes, I am happy about her new shoe style.

The other ladies on The View all wear great shoes and the ladies who come on the shoe normally all have on the latest shoe fashion.

Go Whoopi!
