Last Day for Free Shipping on Vivre Shoes

Today's the last day you can shop for chic summer shoes and have your cart that totals over $50 shipped to you absolutely free! Vivre offers an array of sparkly, metallic, fun sandals and flats that'll make it easy to meet your mark, like these unique, convertible sandals with laces you can slide out and switch up according to your outfit and mood (extra laces sold separately). The "Sophia" by Phillis Morgan is a high-end shoe, and probably more than you'd usually pay for thong sandals, but they also take into consideration what features you'd need to get the most bang for your buck.

50% Off Moxsie Shoes

This deal is kind of insane; I feel weird typing it, that's how absurd it is. Shop Moxsie's indie shoe styles and save 50% off your order. Your whole order. For more than a month! Just use code BLOWOUT50. Yes, that's really it. The only tiny caveat here is that all sales are final, so you can't make exchanges or returns. Still! Some things are worth the risk (or revving up that eBay account...) and one of them is half off your new shoes while supporting small business owners. Style Bard is already eyeing these mini-wedge "Delphine" gold sandals by Matt Bernson, which seem like they would just go with every outfit I ever wear all summer. Plus - ZIPPERS!

Code: BLOWOUT50

New Shoe Markdowns at Shopbop!

The first day of new markdowns at Shopbop is always so exciting! There's plenty of product to choose from and always in the most recent styles. Otherwise, you wind up swooning for some sale shoes only to find that it's practically sold out, except for in, like, size 5.5 and 13. Today is that magical day, so while supplies last you may want to scoot on over to Shopbop.com and check out the 30%, 50% and 70% off shoes - including these "Lyn" wedges from Ash that I'm currently justifying in my own head, even though I hardly ever wear brown shoes - sometimes there's just too much attraction to apply logic that way, though! And Ash is one of my favorite brands... Plus there's always Free Shipping and Free Returns from Shopbop.

Last Day for Free Shipping at Saks

Want those expensive designer shoes shipped to you ASAP without paying an extra cent? Today's the last day Saks Fifth Avenue is willing to comply when your order totals over $150 and you enter code SHIPMAY. What's even better about this deal is the fact that there's a simultaneous sale going on right now, where many of your favorites may already be marked down by 40% for a limited time. Other shoes, on the other hand, may be well worth full price - like these Valentino "Peep-Toe Lace Couture D'Orsay Pumps" that almost look too pretty to wear and hearken all of the lace rage started by Princess Kate. Check out all of the options and deals so you can save on the cost and shipping for a major markdown in total if you shop before midnight tonight.

Code: SHIPMAY

Last Day for Free Bombshell Tanktop at Victoria's Secret

Sure, this post title might be a little misleading since it's not about shoes. But wait, yes it is! Because if you spend at least $60 on shoes -- like these comfy-looking suede "Ankle-Wrap Straw Wedges" at the perfect price point of $68 -- then you automatically get a "Bombshell" tank from Victoria's Secret...free! The tanktop's retail value is $32, regardless of how little there is to it, so whether you're looking for something to sleep in through the summer or just want to wear this out (wherever you'd wear this...to the mall?) you're all set when you shop for new shoes.

Saturday Note from Style Bard
I have family coming to NYC to visit, and we're gonna do all that dumb tourist-y stuff I haven't done since I was a child. Although there's a lot of cost and organization involved to pull this off, my biggest concern is what shoes I'm gonna wear. Because seriously, I don't own sneakers. I'd usually go for flats but can I really wear dress flats all weekend and wander without killing my feet?? Flip-flops?? This might become a very interesting pickle. I'll keep you updated.

*Deal of the Week* Jos. A. Bank Shoes for Dad

WAS: $145
NOW: $99

Get a head start on a gift for dad by shopping the admittedly limited selection of sale shoes at Jos. A. Bank. Years ago, when SBS was a fledgling blog, this brand used to go on sale all the time and I like their stuff, so I'd try to write about it when possible. Then they started putting their shoes on sale less and less. So now, when I happen to catch wind of marked down shoes, I try to post about it -- like now! And what better timing to flaunt these marked-down designer men's shoes than just before Father's Day? Style Bard faves of the eight-piece category are these casual, dapper "Chris" Oxfords by Cole Haan. Plus, all orders over $195 ship for free.

Expires: While Supplies Last

Sale! $19.99 Vans and Converse from Hot Topic

For a limited time only, you can shop from an assortment of sneakers by Vans and Converse for only $19.99! Using the link below takes you straight to the assortment that's been marked down. Options for guys and girls (both, of course) include these "All-Star Black Glitter Low Tops" that used to be $49.99! These Chucks are pretty sweet, I have to admit, even if I hate sneakers.

$15 Off $100 at BuyAndWalk.com

For a limited time, you can use the button below to log on to BuyAndWalk.com with a $15 discount count (you'll see it on the righthand side of the screen, telling you it's activated). Then all you need to do is spend $100 to save that 15% on your new shoes. Buy and Walk offers a wide variety of styles for men, women and children. And they have a complete sale section, where you can save on athletic and casual shoes, like these A3 Adidas "Outrunner" sneakers that are now 19% off their original price. Or shop the full-price options, it's completely up to you -- the discount's good across the whole site. There's no sales tax and you always get Free Shipping and Free Returns.

40% Off Piperlime - Save On Your Faves

Piperlime is now hosting the Save On Your Faves Event, where a select assortment of accessories and shoes are marked down by 40%! Plus, of course, enjoy Free Shipping on your order. For example, these Nine West "Altan" slingback sandals are now $59.99, down from an original $89! A little less literal than some of the actual studded clogs out there, these bring the chic '70s twist we're all craving right now without too much retro heft. They come in three color options, but it's the double buckles that really seal the deal for me -- you know how I love my hardware.

Expires: May 29, 2011

Reduced Shipping from 6PM

Although we're used to spending $6.95 on flat-rate shipping from 6pm.com, the popular discount shoe website is now offering the same ground shipping offer for only $3.95. This reduced rate is in place through the end of the month. Now, not for nothing, but it only seems smart to suddenly show them how much we like this lower price by doing a lot of shopping there and showing them that a lower shipping rate will drive sales. Of course, I do always lean toward any excuse to order new shoes, like these sharp silver metallic "Lowveld" by Gabriella Rocha, already marked down 40% to $41.99 while supplies last.

Expires: June 1, 2011

Additional 30% Off PacSun Shoes

For a yet-unspecified amount of time, you can take an additional 30% off PacSun shoes that are already marked down. For example, these sunny yellow "Balsa" slip-ons by Nike 6.0 were originally $60, then marked down to $39.99 and are now about $26! (If my math is right, which is always questionable.) There are also sandals and yes, even still some boots. Check out all the options using the button below before this deal mysteriously vanishes into the night.

Just use code SMFriends25A when you're ready to check out to see this discount applied on shoes like the "WIICKED" platform peep-toe wedges that I'm totally in love with; they come in three colors. I don't know why the website says the code is "SMFRIENDS25" but you may want to try that, too, if the one they gave me isn't working! And then look for Free Shipping offers like SMFREESHIP to round off your "Deal of the Week"!

40% Off Women's Shoes at Reebok

There's still 48 hours left to take advantage of the one-week sale from Reebok that allows women to shop for 40% off! That's right; you choose the shoes and accessories and just apply code SHOP40 to take nearly half off your entire cart. If you've been using the excuse that you're just waiting for the weather to warm up to get started on your workout routine, you can take this as extra motivation to get started. Another inspiration is how jazzed up you'll be to wear these bright, bold blue 'EasyTone Flash' sneakers (which come in a handful of other colors as well) for just $99.99 before your discount. Plus, look for Free Shipping on orders over $79 (though some exclusions do apply).

Last Day - Shopbop Friends & Family Sale

Today's the last day that you can save 15% off your entire order at Shopbop.com thanks to the Friends & Family Sale. Just use code INTHEFAMILY15 when you're checking out to see this discount apply. Having such a sitewide sale may seem daunting, but let me help you get started; you can use the button below to check out the already-on-sale shoes that are marked down by up to 70% off. Then you can shuffle through the best by selecting "Editor's Picks," which are usually spot on. You'll find a nice cross of seasonal picks from varying designers, narrowing down the massive pool to about 148 options. Style Bard faves are these Diane von Furstenberg "Flama Tie Scarf Platform Sandals" which are already 30% off before your deal. And don't forget Free Shipping on your entire order, too!

Free Shipping on Rachel Roy Shoes

Until the end of this month, you'll receive Free Shipping when you shop for new shoes from Rachel Roy! All you need to do is spend at least $100; which, let's face it, is basically any one pair of shoes from this designer. Though the only pair currently sold out on the site is extremely ugly, which worries me for the impression it gives of Rachel Roy clientele, at least it means that there are still plenty of cute and beautiful shoes in full stock for the rest of us to buy, like these "Olwyn" platform sandals I just love. You know they take some work to wear, but would meanwhile look extremely effortless with almost any outfit.

Macy's Summer Shoe Sale

Stock up for summer -- and save -- with Macy's Summer Shoe Sale! For the next few days, you can save 25% off new, seasonal styles (prices as marked). And yes, this sale is only available on the Web. For example, these Donald Pliner "Gyl" high-heeled cork sandals are amazingly rustic and simple and would accent any summer outfit, and they're now marked down by nearly $100. Also be sure to check out your Free Shipping options, because Macy's online usually has some kind of offer circling and there's no reason to waste extra money you could be putting toward other new shoes!

Last Day for Free Shipping from Aldo

This weekend, Aldo offered Free Shipping on all orders for Mother's Day. That means that today is the last day you can take advantage of this offer by using code FSMOM11. In honor of Style Bard's mom, how about some casual sandals suitable for a low-key, creative office environment in the Floridian lifestyle, like the "MASONNA"? My mom would especially love that they're on sale from $90 to $59.98.

*Deal of the Week* Zappos for Mother's Day - No Expiration

*Deal of the Week* Zappos for Mother's Day

I find it a little odd that a website that made its name on shoes offers a complete Mother's Day Guide including only slippers. Is it really that hard to buy your mother regular shoes? I guess it can be difficult with sizing, but not really when Zappos has Free Returns. For a style that every mom would probably love, Style Bard recommends these casual, comfortable, quality Hush Puppies 'Bueno' flats in Black Leather, Silver Leather Metallic or Tan Metallic Nubuck (shown); they're selling for a mid-range price of $69. And why not just get her a gift certificate to Zappos? Despite overnight shipping, this late in the game a gift certificate is actually the ideal option for a forgetful son or daughter. Then she can treat herself to whatever new shoes she wants! For a quick click-through to the gift certificate page, use the button below.

Free Gift with FootSmart Shoes

Until the end of the month, you'll receive free Total Recovery foot cream with any pair of new shoes from FootSmart. Sure, it's not the most glamorous gift in the world--but on the other hand (or foot?) it'll probably help you enjoy your shoes that much more. Like these "Book" silver ballerina shoes from Clarks, now marked down by $15 to $44.97 (they come in five other colors as well). And who doesn't like free things?? Plus, enjoy flat-rate shipping on any size order; it's always just $4.99.

Today's the last day you can save on shipping when you buy spring shoes from the International online division of Net-A-Porter. Known for its trendy, high-end looks, this boutique e-commerce site offers such designer shoe brands as Valentino, Christian Louboutin, Marc Jacobs and Jimmy Choo. I adore these Alexander McQueen heelless shoes made from sculpted resin and leather; it's available in White but I just love this bold Gold! At 6" high with a 1.5" concealed platform, these are nothing short of a statement shoe. And they can be at your door in just a few days for absolutely free if you shop before midnight.
