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 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.

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.

BOGO at Payless!

Oh yes, it's time for the next round of BOGO at Payless. Buy any one pair of shoes, get the second pair for 50% off! And that's on top of any other sales or discounts taking place at the store. I should confess that there's a Payless about five seconds from my house, and I have to pass it whenever I head around the corner toward the subway or pharmacy. It's really, really hard not to at least wander through and check out what's new. I think that one thing I should start doing is checking out comfort levels of the shoes I like, such as these American Eagle 'Boho Huarache' flats which are surprisingly trendy, already on sale and named for one of my favorite things, Mexican food. See, Payless is really hit or miss for me in terms of comfort; one of my favorite and most comfortable pairs of wedges--and one set of white pumps--are from Payless (both cost about $5 each 'cause I'm savvy). But so many shoes are just not comfortable when I try them on. I'm just afraid if I went in to try something on, I'd walk out with five pairs of new shoes--especially during BOGO. But you know what? Let me know if there's a pair you're curious about and I'll see what I can do to scout the comfort level for you next time I go to pick up some milk and gum.

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.

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.

50% Off KORS by Michael Kors Sandals

I'm not often the type to spend more than $10 on flip-flops. Growing up in Florida, I quickly learned how easy it is to ruin sandals at the beach or lose one over the edge of the pier. Given that these shoes only complement the most casual of outfits, I don't entirely see the point of dropping big money on them. Maybe it's the weather or living in the city, but this year I'm craving a slightly nicer pair of casual shoes. I want to be comfortable and chic while I'm looking casual and walking around Manhattan--is that so much to ask? Right now, my eyes are on these 'Addi' Emerald Nappa sandals from KORS by Michael Kors. There's something about the green and gold that really appeals to me, despite the fact that these were my high school colors and therefore I must overcome certain dreadful associations in order to appreciate them. I also love the alternate option in White. They're more than I usually spend on thong sandals, but they are almost 50% off. What do you think--are they worth the price?

Single Shoe Service at Nordstrom

So there are obviously numerous reasons why individuals may wish to purchase only one shoe at a time, but I believe Nordstrom's Single Shoe Service is the first time that I've actually seen this advertised in a pronounced way. Which I think is a smart marketing move. Not only can shoppers with unique shoe needs have them fulfilled, but Nordstrom is able to get rid of stray shoe merchandise while turning a profit. Single Shoes are only $26 from the select items available in their warehouse. You can fill out a form by visiting the website, stating your needs and purposes in order to get the correct shoe you need. For those with single shoe requirements, this allows them to skip the specialty stores and actually lay claim to designer names at an exceptionally reduced price. Style Bard supports this clever and mutually beneficial solution; so way to go, Nordstrom.

This seems like a broad sweep of merchandise to cut back on boots before the weather gets too warm, but I always say you should shop against the season to get the best deals. And speaking of best deals, how about these sassy Sperry Top-Sider 'Sausalita' rain boots, for 46% off? The best thing about them is that you can keep wearing them through rainy days in Spring and Summer. Oh, and that spitfire patent Red.

$5 Shipping on Jildor Shoes

Jildor Shoes offers an extensive collection of brand name shoes. But to be honest, I rarely look at new merchandise or browse by designer, because I always shoot directly for the selection marked On Sale. These discount shoes range from seasonal boots to we-wish-they-were-seasonal sandals. You can nab a great pair of leather ankle boots by Chloe, or some snakeskin flats by Sam Edelman. This pair of 'Jewel-G Purple Suede' flats by Jeffrey Campbell caught my eye right away. I love the bold color coupled with the eye-catching gems. They're now $30 off their original price, which lets them settle comfortably into the "affordable" range. And of course, all shoes ship for the same flat rate of $5. So don't be afraid to buy something just a little more bulky or heavy than these flexible, bendable shoes; it all ships the same!
