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.

Free Shipping on 6PM Orders Over $100

As if insanely low prices aren't enticing enough, you can also get your total order shipping for free when you shop 6pm.com by midnight. Your total order just has to reach $100, which might require a few pairs of shoes since sale prices are so low; take, for example, the up-to-65%-off AK Anne Klein page, where metallic wedges and fun flats steal the show. These "Jarana" peep-toe slingbacks neatly combine both at 20% off.

Boots Under $100 + Flate Rate Shipping

It's warming up outside, so that means it's time to buy...nope, not sandals! Boots. I know, I know, it seems to go against logic. Unless your logic is focused on saving lots of money. For example, at 6pm, you can buy boots worth $300 and up for less than $100 due to seasonal sales. These Italian suede and leather "Verina" boots by Bruno Magli where originally $590, and they're now $88.50--that's amazing at 85% off. Plus, right now shipping is only $4.95--no matter how tall, thick or heavy the boots. And considering that I went outside today in knee-high boots, I'd say it's fair to wager you can still break these new boots in this season, and then they'll be in perfect condition for winter 2011-2012.

Boots Under $50

If yesterday's disgusting, slushy freeze tells us anything, it's that there's still plenty of time to wear boots before we can all cash in our expectations of spring. And that means you should check out 6PM's selection of boots under $50 (click on the button below to go there directly) that are only guaranteed to stay at this price point through Friday. You've got everything from sexy booties to heavy-duty, weatherproof winter boots. And we're talking about some pretty serious savings, too, like these "Raven" ankle boot by Steve Madden that used to be $150 and are now $45 (available in three colors). Check out the great "video description" feature as well for even better views and more information about these shoes.

Last Day for Guaranteed Christmas Delivery from 6PM

Today's the last day you can place your order at 6PM and receive guaranteed delivery by Christmas Day. And you can even have free delivery if you order up to $100 of merchandise. You can start toward that sum with a modest $38.50 on these Tsubo 'Acrea' slingbacks; I just love the appealing shape to them. They were originally $110, but were already marked down by 65%. That leaves you with one or two more gifts to buy to reach your Free Shipping total and still have it by Dec. 25.

10% Off All 6PM Shoes - One Day Only

6PM always offers loads of great savings on shoes, on top of constantly adding extra daily and weekly discounts. But for the most part, those reductions only affect certain styles, brands or individual pairs of shoes. Not today! Today only, you pick the shoe--or any number of shoes--and take 10% off the total order immediately with code 6PMCJDEC132010. Style Bard craves some ankle-high wedge boots that won't look boring under a pair of jeans, so I'd consider 10% off these 'Radd' boots by Boutique 9. I just wish they came in other colors! And not suede, because every time I wear suede shoes I get paranoid about the rain/snow (you have no idea how obsessively I can refresh Weather.com). (So I guess I love the style, I'm just stepping on my own blue suede shoes??) Savings are even already 60% off before the additional 10% off! Plus, don't forget 6pm.com is currently offering Free Shipping on orders over $100.

*Deal of the Week* Frye Boots on Sale

I have an obsession with Frye boots. I've wanted a pair for many, many years--but not just any pair, the perfect pair that will remain intact and timeless throughout the decades and ultimately be stolen by my nieces or someone else who covets them for their vintage, classic appeal. So when I hear about a 6PM sale where Frye shoes are marked down by up to 70%, I'm very excited. If you are, too, you should know it's just for this weekend. Aside from boots, you can save big on styles like these 'Marcy Piecework' flats. They were originally $118, but they're currently only $41.80. Right now, you can also rake advantage of Free Shipping. Check out the sale by using the button below.

Use the button below to find a selection of boots marked down to $100 or less at 6PM! A wide selection are actually even $50 or less--you can check out results for certain price ranges by using the search perimeters. By playing around, I've wound up choosing Women->9.5->Ankle->% Off and discovered these Sam Edelman 'Joss' boots for 50% off at about $90. Not exactly my style, but I dig the vibe, so if it's your thing you should hurry and snatch them up at this price. But don't wait too long, because this sale ends tonight.

Luichiny Shoes - 70% Off at 6PM

Today's sales at 6pm.com include markdowns on Luichiny shoes of up to 70%.Although many of the reduced styles are, admittedly, sandals, there are also plenty of boots and booties for you to love--plus season-broaching styles that can be patched over with the aid of tights and leggings and legwarmers and socks, like these 'Que Tee' wedges that just beg to be worn as long as possible because they add a pop of color and creativity to any outfit. They're now the full 70% off, and of course they come with Free Shipping.

One Day Only - AK Anne Klein Shoes Less Than $29.95

Today's your shot to shop AK Anne Klein shoes in various styles all under $30. While this is indeed a great bargain, especially if you are like me and desperately need some new office shoes, I was unsure about posting about it until I feel for these understated, slightly metallic "Grander" flats for $29.95. I can't put my finger exactly on what makes me crave them, especially since I'd just as soon tear flowers off anything I was wearing. But these are just sweet and simple and lovely--and on sale! Maybe the point and demure color keeps them from being too twee? Thoughts?

Anniversary Boot Sale at 6PM

Although the sale was set to end on Sunday, it looks like you can still use old links (you can use the button below) to shop 6PM's Third Anniversary Sale. That means shopping for tons of boots specially marked down to less than $50, including these "Dondalin" ankle boots by Type Z. Even though I practically never wear brown shoes and I've never owned a pair of ankle boots, I'm completely smitten with these; and they're already 54% off for less than $50. You should check them out if not simply to check the specs and watch the product video that's included. I think video sales is an excellent way to really get a good look at merchandise with your own eyes, and I was thrilled to discover this video to check out the boots while considering my purchase. Shop these prices before the sale actually disappears!

Puma Sneakers - 70% Off at 6PM

Puma sneakers are on sale at 6pm.com; and today's the last day that those prices span up to 70% off their original retail price. I pretty much only associate athletic footwear with this brand, but there are definitely some more interesting and trendy options that I didn't know existed. For example, would you get a load of these 'AMQ Skin Luxe Wns'? Those are sparkly as a Cullen, but probably far more intellectually stimulating (oooh, burn). I'm not only fond of this shoe because it allowed me to make a completely random Twilight diss, but I also like them since they go so well with the Jessica Simpson oxfords I posted last week. Oh, and I adore the fact that although they used to sell for $900(!) they're now on sale for a waaaaay more affordable $270. The money you save can be used toward buying back your soul for getting my Twilight joke. No codes or minimum purchases are necessary, just shop by using the button below.

Last Day for Free Shipping on 6PM Orders

Today's the last day that you can order as many shoes as you'd like (including all of your back-to-school shoes) and receive Free Shipping from 6PM. All you have to do is reach the minimum price total of $100. Kids' shoes include fashion brands such as Kenneth Cole Reaction, offering styles like these extremely cute 'There She Rose' slip-ons in Silver, which I assume any young girl would love to prance about in based on my own preferences at that age. And yes, they're actually very sparkly and ruffly as well, if you can't tell from the picture. Plus, they're already marked down by 30%!

65% Off Two Lips Shoes at 6PM

Two Lips shoes are just too cute! I love a lot of risks that the designs take, pushing the envelope with extra little details and bold color combinations. I was going to use a shoe called 'Twilite' as an example, because it paired bronze and lime green jewel tones in an interesting way, but I'm honestly so sick of Twilight hullabaloo that I couldn't bear too. Instead, check out these 'Neverland' sandals, because goodness knows Peter Pan is much more complex, fascinating and original a fictional character than Edward Cullen. But also check them out because they're now 50% off, they demonstrate such fascinating textural elements, plus the interesting choice to add animal print to the back of the heel--not a usual focal point for a shoe. Actually, check out any of the Two Lips shoes and boots at 6PM, most of which are on sale for at least 30% off their original prices. Today only, several styles are marked down even lower for prices up to 65% off.

Stuart Weitzman Shoes up to 80% Off at 6PM

Especially known for dress and wedding shoes, Stuart Weitzman consistently puts out regal footwear that women want to own. But sometimes this reputation makes me forget what gorgeous everyday shoes the brand can put out, such as these stunning 'Rollpump' wedges that are now on my must-have list. Originally selling for more than $200, these can now be mine for less than $100. All Stuart Weitzman shoes are up to 80% off their original price at 6PM. But these prices may only last for a limited time or while supplies last, so if you see something you love, buy them now. Trust me, they can't get much more reduced than this, but they can disappear from sight or go back to higher prices which will cause massive heartbreak if you're anything of a shoe fool like the Style Bard.

Options include flats, sandals and even dress heels like these sparkling 'Monroe' t-straps that would be perfect for a formal occasion. The website calls them art, but it also calls these refined beauties 'mules' so let's not rely on their descriptions at all, shall we? They come in three colors and they're already marked down more than 50% off--and, of course, they ship for the site-wide flat rate of $6.95.

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.

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.
