Today Only - 20% Off Clearance Shoes at Bluefly

Bluefly shoes on clearance are already up to 80% off--but today only, you can take an additional 20% off your sale shoes. No codes or minimum purchases are necessary; just use the button below to click through! Designer names (yes, even for shoes on sale) include Christian Dior, Ralph Lauren and Dolce & Gabbana. Louboutin never has to work hard to earn a place in my heart, but you have to admit that these red patent 'Lafalaise' pumps hit all the right marks--ostensibly and perhaps rightfully named for fashion muse Loulou. They're already on sale but don't pass up this chance to get these--or other amazing designer shoes--for an even further reduced price if you shop before midnight.

*Deal of the Week* 10% Off Lanalia Shoes - SBS Readers Only! - Limited Time Only

Saturday Note from Style Bard
I can't stand to wear an enclosed shoe when the weather is upwards of 90 degrees, so this week has been full of creative ways to wear sandals as much as possible. Trust me, keeping your feet breathing significantly contributes to your overall coolness and comfort. ~SB

*Deal of the Week* 10% Off Lanalia Shoes - SBS Readers Only!

You know I'm always looking out for you guys, right? That's why I welcome shoe designers/sellers to partner with Style Bard Shoes to provide special discounts. For example, Lanalia Shoes is now offering y'all 10% off any shoes you want--in fact, as many shoes as you want, because there's no limit to how many times this code can be applied while it lasts. Just use code BARD12 when you're checking out to see your discount apply on stunning shoes like these ballet-inspired 'Stella' bridal shoes that are simply angelic. But it was hard to pick just one style to showcase, so I definitely recommend heading to the website to check out all of the beautiful options on sale only to readers of Style Bard Shoes.

Skechers on Sale at 6PM

Today, Skechers styles are selling for about $14.95--but you'll have to act fast to catch them at this low price, before they revert to regular sale pricing of 50-75% off, which is still an excellent deal. Options range from bedroom slippers (okay, so the rubber soles lead me to think they're actually meant to be worn outside but PLEASE DON'T) to beaded, cuffed sandals which, okay, are starting to grow on me since I've been seeing them everywhere, everyday--NYC is like Stockholm Syndrome Central or something when it comes to summertime fashions. You think you hate something until you see it the ten thousandth time and then BAM! today you love it; at this rate, cuffed sandals are spreading faster than zombie-ism would. Anyway, I don't mean to break you down anymore than you already are, so instead I'll show you these outlandish, outrageous 'Bon Ton - Rockette' wedge sneakers from Skechers. That oughta wake you up from your cuffed sandal coma. But please know that I am not advocating wearing these if you are a functioning adult. Please and thank you.

30% Off Old Navy Shoes

Starting tomorrow, take 30% off any purchase from Old Navy, including all shoes! That's right, the whole website is marked down for a matter of days--and only if you use code ONBIG30 at checkout. One thing that I need this summer are breathable, walkable shoes that can be worn casually but--and this is important--also to the office. Honestly, it seems like everything in my wardrobe since moving to NYC has been about either comfort or dressing up, with very few options for both or, god forbid, going from one to the other. Days when I need to swing that one are pretty challenging, let me tell you. Barring comfort, I think that these peep-toe wedges would be ideal for that, since the low heel would let you walk around for awhile but these could also be worn with most work outfits. Especially since there are three color options from which to choose, but they're only sold online at Old Navy.

Piperlime Lime Tag Sale

The Lime Tag Sale is now in full swing at Piperlime! This means all of your favorite brands and styles may now be marked down well below their asking price--but only while this sale lasts, or supplies sell out. Right now, what I need personally are more wedges, so that's where my fancy took me when perusing this sale. Wedges from brands ranging from Steve Madden to Lucky Brand to Via Spiga, and are now up to 40% off! Style Bard thinks these Moschino Cheap & Chic 'Sandwich' wedges are just too twee and cute to be true, but they're for real. I'm not sure I'd take them out to a real picnic, but a nice lunch date on a terrace would definitely find these on my pedicured feet. Sizes are selling out pretty quickly, so make your move--and don't worry about rash decisions, since any necessary returns will be free. Style Bard also always recommends checking out reviews to see if shoes fit true to size.

The Walking Company's Sandal Sale

The Walking Company has set aside some of its most popular summer sandal styles and marked them all down to make for one big Sandal Sale. You can save up to 70% without using any codes or making any minimum purchases to qualify. Just use the button below to land on the Sandal Sale page with choices from comfort shoe brands such as Ecco, Mephisto, Pikolinos, Dansko and MBT. Style Bard recommends giving these Ugg 'Sechura' sandals a second glance, perfect for their metallic hue and trendy gladiator shape--plus, of course, they come with the standard cushioned sheepskin footbed for which Ugg is known, now discounted by more than $20.

Happy Father's Day!

Please enjoy spending this day with your fathers, grandfathers and other fatherly loved ones. Unfortunately I will get to see neither of my two father figures this year, so take my word and don't take your time for granted, because I am surely jealous. If you're looking for a last-minute gift--yes, I know there are still a few of you out there, even though I have been making suggestions for men's shoes all week and you didn't take heed--you can easily order a Zappos gift certificate, which is delivered instantly via e-mail (to be printed out by you or sent directly to dad). He can pick out any men's shoes he wants, and with Free Shipping and Free Returns, it's fool-proof even if he's never shopped for shoes online before in his life. Really; if my dad can do it, so can yours!

*Deal of the Week* $20 Off Dad's New Shoebuy Shoes - Expires Midnight Tonight!

Saturday Note from Style Bard
Please have a lovely weekend with your fathers (and the fathers of your kids)! Regular updates with shoes for both men and women will resume Monday. ~SB

*Deal of the Week* $20 Off Dad's New Shoebuy Shoes

Okay, here's how this deal goes. When you spend $75 on new shoes for dad, you can check out using Bill Me Later, which deducts payments from your credit card at intervals, rather than all at once. Except that when you use Bill Me Later, it'll actually not charge you for $20 of the total checkout price. Make sense? You stand to save significantly, and you don't have to pay for everything up front. Sounds like a good deal to me, especially since I'm the type to always know I'll have the funds for the thing I want right now...in a paycheck or two. And it can be very frustrating when what you're buying is on sale or has some other time limitation (such as Father's Day), so it won't be available next Friday when the cash comes in. It sucks! Anyway, this is one way to shop now and pay later, when an added incentive. Style Bard suggests these men's boat shoes, 'Captain' by Dunham, which are already marked down--and they qualify you for the $75 minimum needed for this deal! Check out the reviews, too, for some great commentary on why these stylish shoes may also be the comfortable choice dad will love--even if he doesn't plan to go yachting this summer.

Reebok Sneakers and Shorts for Dad

Dads always seem to appreciate a good deal when they go shopping. In fact, many guys have to feel like they are getting the absolute best deal in order to lay out a credit card, no matter how much they want or need the item they came in for--if it's not a good deal, they won't walk out with it. Well, Reebok is offering a deal your dad will definitely approve. When you buy any Zig footwear for him for Father's Day, you can also snag a pair of shorts for only $7.99. Just put the shoes and shorts in your shopping cart, and use code ZIG4DAD when it's time to check out. Dads might love 'Zig Pulse' from the ZigTech line, especially if they're the sort to like anything 10% more if it has the word 'tech' in it. These sneaks are designed for advanced training; they absorb shock and propel you forward while minimizing strain to your muscles. Don't worry; if dad doesn't like orange, there are two other color combinations.

Last Day for Free Shipping on Gap Shoes

Man. Men are really gypped when it comes to shoes and accessories at Gap. I mean, not for nothing, but could there be more than six options for them (two being flip-flops)? Men like shoe shopping too, I swear! One of my good guy friends has sneakers the exact same shade as these purportedly "Blue-Gray" 'Deck' sneakers. When they get wet or he's wearing the right colors or stands in just the right light, they look purple instead of blue. It's very confusing and it took me awhile to actually figure out that he didn't own purple sneakers (which would be awesome, don't get me wrong). But anyway, I digress. This pair is now on sale for only $29.99. And if you add a few items of apparel and get up to $100, your order will ship for free before midnight tonight (use code GAPSHIP). But if you like the look and are now worried about the dual color personalities of your new shoes, you may be more interested in the "Off-White" option instead.

50% Off Aldo Clearance Shoes

You may or may not have noticed a theme this week: men's shoes for Father's Day. Oh, I know, I'm so creative and clever. But all the same, I think a lot of people are looking for ways to shop online for dad this year, and a great pair of new shoes just might be the trick. Although when I shop at Aldo I am waaaaaay too distracted to pay any attention to the men's side of the store, taking stock of the many options for men now reminds me that there are hundreds of options from which to choose. Not only that, but there are dozens of men's shoes on sale for up to 50% off in the clearance section at Aldo. Plus, for a limited time, all orders over $75 ship free. Whether you're a guy or just checking it out to shop for dad, I recommend not overlooking the boot sale section, with stylish options like these classic lace-up 'Jepperson' boots with eyelet detail, available in three colors.

70% Off Lorenzo Banfi Shoes for Dad

The Walking Company has selected an assortment of popular comfort shoes for men to be marked down as much as 70%! Naturally, this deal is in honor of Father's Day--which, lest you forget, is coming up this weekend. But there's still plenty of time to put in an order and receive your dad's new shoes on time. Plus, you'll even receive Free Shipping on orders over $100. Featured are these wicker-basket slip-ons, 'Franco' by Lorenzo Banfi. They were originally selling for over $500 but are not a much more affordable price at 77% off--and yes, they do qualify for Free Shipping.

There's still time to order great shoes for dad by Father's Day! And you don't have to worry about last-minute shipping costs, because right now your order ships for free from Jos. A. Bank. As long as your order is placed by June 16th, your shoes are guaranteed to arrive on time, for free. Dad might delight in shoes such as these 'VIP Hamilton' suave slip-ons.

*Deal of the Week* Free Shipping on Macy's Shoes - Expiring This Week - June 16th, 2010

Saturday Note from Style Bard
After one year in the city, I think I'm getting a good feel of the rotation of shoe styles necessary to keep the foot pain at bay. For example, if one pair of shoes starts to pinch in the toes after long hours--and many blocks--of wear, the next day I'll wear a pair that's more likely to hurt my heels. Hey, I know what you're thinking: Just wear shoes that don't hurt! Easier said than done, my friends. Easier said than done. ~SB

*Deal of the Week* Free Shipping on Macy's Shoes

Now you can receive Free Shipping when you shop for new shoes from Macy's! All you have to do is check out with a shopping cart totaling at least $99, and use code SUMMER. Among the season's hottest styles are these 'Shieva' sandals by Jessica Simpson; they come in both Sand (shown, with snakeskin print) and Light Tan. Other than a shockingly high heel that may take some practice to walk in (despite the 1" platform designed to help counter that extra height), the only downside to these stunning shoes is the price tag: $98, so they're just one buck short of getting you Free Shipping. Guess you'll have to keep on shopping then, which is not the worst downside in the world.

Jessica Simpson Shoes Less Than $50

Select shoes by Jessica Simpson are now marked down to less than $50. I know, I know; usually when you hear phrasing like that, you're thinking: Sure, they're all just $49.95. Not true! In fact, these stylish 'Frack' sandals are only $23.70--which is 70% off their original price of $79. But these prices are only guaranteed for this week, and you'll want to shop earlier rather than later to ensure that your size remains available. Flats, sandals, office shoes and even one sneaker and one boot are included in the mix of marked-down shoes. Check it out!

One Day Sale: 20% Off Banana Republic Shoes

This one is near and dear to me if only because I just bought sandals I absolutely adore from Banana Republic, as mentioned in last week's Saturday Note from Style Bard (which can always be found at the bottom of each week's *Shoes in Review* round-up). Sadly, those shoes are no longer for sale on the website, so I can't show them to you! They're Gold sandals like this 'Stefie' style, but with chunky chains on the t-strap (you know how Style Bard loves her hardware). All you have to do is total at least $75 in your shopping cart, and you'll save 25% on your new shoes from Banana Republic. You also need to add code BRSAVE20, so don't forget to do that!

Dedicated to my big sister, who loves Banana Republic and whose birthday it is today! What perfect timing for a one-day sale--it's just like Banana Republic knows.

50% Off MBTs

An MBT sale is a rare thing indeed; much like with Uggs, they're a brand that rarely lets their wares get marked down. The Walking Company, however, is currently selling many MBT styles for about 50% off their original price! For those who have just been waiting for the right excuse to work on working out, this might be the impetus you need. Sale styles include these 'Koshi' slip-ons with a velcro enclosure, which used to be $224.95, but are now 46% off at $119.99. All sales on clearance shoes are final.

Saturday Note from Style Bard
Out of the city for the weekend and, after one afternoon at the outlet mall, a proud owner of two new pairs of shoes. Look for 'em soon! ~SB

*Deal of the Week* 20% Off Bridal Shoes at Piperlime

I have a few rules about bridal shoes. First of all, I'm a big fan of blue shoes. Yes, it takes care of 'something blue' but more importantly, have you ever seen a bride-to-be stressing out about matching the exact shade of her dress to the exact shade of shoes? It can be a headache. Blue shoes takes away that pain for you. Another rule of mine is that brides should have two pairs of shoes: one for the aisle and one for the reception. Many brides change their dress, but wind up either kicking off their shoes to dance or simply wearing flats in the first place. I beg of you not to do this. You must walk tall to your groom in high heels; your posture will come through in photos, I promise you won't regret this choice. But do not wear your bridal shoes for the first time as you head down the lane. Practice, practice, practice in advance and be sure to break in those shoes!

Right now, when you shop for bridal shoes at Piperlime, you can automatically save 20%. Sure, that's barely going to cushion the overall wedding costs, but every penny counts, right? Use the button below to land on the specific styles selected and recommended for brides! There aren't too many blue options, but there's a wide array of flat and high styles in different shades from which to choose.

I think every woman needs one pair of over-the-top animal print pumps just to keep things interesting (even if they never leave the house, ifyouknowwhatImean).
