I am a self-confessed shoe snob. My thought has always been that you can get by with cheap clothing, but never cheap shoes. Spend $150 on a dress and pair it with $14.88 shoes from Pay-Less and it cheapens the entire outfit. What I prefer to do is purchase name brand/designer shoes at an extreme discount. For example, and yes, these are shoes for my husband:



This past weekend I made an awesome buy. I actually bought six pairs of dress shoes (my husband is wearing a pair as I write, thus they did not make the photo) from a man who is retiring from white collar world. The lot included two pairs of Johnston & Murphy, Mezlan, Polo/Ralph Lauren, Rockport, and Cole Haan. The pair of Johnston & Murphy loafers shown above retail on their website for $200+. And people wonder where all the good deals are…
Oh yeah, I paid $20 for all six pairs.
Great deal!
