Free Shipping on Overstock Shoes $75+

For the next month, enjoy Free Shipping on your next pair of new shoes from Overstock! No code is necessary, you just have to spend $75. If you don't want to splurge one pair of shoes upward of $75 and you don't want to get two (and are therefore, in my book, a crazy person), then you can bridge the gap with an item from any of Overstock's other numerous categories and it still all ships together for free. Or you can spend and splurge at the same time with these "Bridgeport" leather boots by MIA that were originally $118 and are now marked down by 27% to $85.99--but still qualify you for Free Shipping.

Closeout Sale on Boots

Boot Barn is having a Closeout Sale on two of its previously popular brands: Ariat and Harley-Davidson. All styles from both of these brands are marked down to ridiculous sale prices. I'm pretty sure that all sales are final, so you may want to be careful about sizing. Although these boots are not particular my style, I could definitely work with these 'Darla' motorcycle boots in my wardrobe, although I'd much rather have a Harley-Davidson. There are plenty of other styles--from work boots to cowboy boots--available on closeout, so check out the fabulous prices while supplies last.

Semi-Annual Winter Sale at Jildor Shoes

Though the holiday sales are finally beginning to wane, that doesn't mean there aren't still places to look to find great savings. For example, the Semi-Annual Winter Sale at Jildor continues to go strong with plenty of marked-down designer styles at ridiculously fair prices. Style Bard faves are these dignified Michael Kors Brown Leather harness boots now on sale for nearly $700 less than their original price, which is approximately 50% off--a pretty damn good boot deal in the midst of winter! All sale shoes come at the standard flat shipping rate of $5 per order.

*Deal of the Week* 60% Off Designer Over-the-Knee Boots

I know. And let me just say again: I know! But how often do I get to say that the *Deal of the Week* is more than one thousand dollars off the original selling price for the shoe? Never, that's when! So I'm pretty giddy about this 'Crystal Boot' by Georgina Goodman, now on sale at Endless. Granted, even taking $1,000 off this shoe isn't going to put it anywhere near my personal price point, but it is still 60% off and that's a damn fine deal. That is, if you happen to need over-the-knee suede and leather boots with a 4.5" stiletto heel. Who doesn't, am I right? Besides, they're from Italy. So that makes everything better. Don't believe me? Take a gander at the close-up; you know you're curious.

*Deal of the Week* Save 60% on Aldo Boots

There are only 48 hours left to save at least 60% off all women's clearance boots at Aldo! No codes or minimum purchases are necessary to qualify, just shop the reduced pricing shown on the site--only for a limited time. Though they fall more on the pricey end of the spectrum for an on-sale shoe, Style Bard faves for this sale are these 'Fronori' knee-high leather boots with contrast stitching, especially in the color of Cognac. Other available colors include Black, Dark Brown and Brown Suede. Hey, if they cost more to begin with that means you'll essentially save more dollars at the end of the day, right? Yeah, I know, shopaholics' justification. But if you're going to buy them anyway, why not let yourself feel a little better about it? Just be sure to shop before these great deals disappear on Sunday.

Sendra Boots Review

You can tell a quality pair of shoes when you see it. Now, I'm mostly a bargain shopper by nature and upbringing, so the first time I laid hands on a pair of high-cost name-brand all-leather shoes, it was an accident. The moment I plucked those beautiful booties from their shelf, I knew that I'd somehow wandered from the bargain racks to the forboden high-end boutique side of the shoe store (a mistake born of subconscious urges, I'm sure). I fell immediately in love with the unobtainable shoe. The memory of picking up a sole and instantly understanding it was well-made by sight and touch alone lingers in my mind to this day.

That was a long time ago--and spotting a quality shoe is more of a second nature to me now--but when I was asked to review Sendra boots (unsponsored, unbiased, nothing in it for me but research), I felt that sensation all over again. I was instanteously impressed, smitten with a longing destined to go unfulfilled.

Even though the Sendra styles are a little conventional and predictable for my eccentric shoe tastes, from the moment I lifted these beautiful boots out of the box I was won over. From the feel of the soft, luscious leather against my fingertips to the way the boot felt on (supportive and sturdy), every aspect of the boots only added to the overall impression of quality. I wished I could have kept these marvelous boots, which were in fact on loan for the purpose review. I looked at:

Style #8692

Style #7681

Style #8011

The Review

The first pair is my personal favorite, as I prefer a dramatic, almost-costume-y aesthetic when it comes to boots. Seeming authentically rustic, these leapt out to me as shoes that could be worn, without irony, as a whimsical alternative to more staid winter shoes. On top of being stylish, they also felt just as indestructible as one would want from such a formidable-looking cowboy boot; with Sendra boots, the rough-and-tumble sensibility is not just for show. The second pair, which are a lined for warmth and reeinforced for longevity, are also unimaginably soft and comfortable. These are the boots you would never want to take off your feet--even though they may not be quite as attractive as the other two pairs. The third pair was probably the farthest from something I would ever consider in my wardrobe. Brown, mid-heel, matte--yaaaawn. Of course here's the kicker you already know is coming--these boots really grew on me the moment I zipped them up (so comfortable!) and then glanced in the mirror (they look amazing on me). Trust me, the pictures don't do these boots justice.

When I buy boots, I'm always worried about the actual height at which the shaft hits my leg. If a boot stops at certain heights--such as mid-calf where your leg is widest--it can be absurdly unflattering. I am also concerned about how the shaft of the boot fits around the calf--will it be too snug? Too roomy? Can I tuck pants into these? With Style #8011, the top of the shaft stops just above the curve of the calf, almost up to the knee. This is a perfect height for boots (unless you're a lover of ankle boots or over-the-knee boots, which I am not). The supple leather shaft encloses my average-width leg with the right amount of room to maneuver, but will still close over leggings, tights or a thin pair of pants.

Though I'm a vegetarian, I do wear leather goods sometimes (sorry, PETA). However, Sendra boots are created from resources only cultivated at breeding stations approved by the International Trade Agreement of Threatened Wild Species. I may be okay with wearing leather, but I am not okay with cruelty to animals, so this is a very important aspect to me, and I thought I'd share it with you as well.

About Sendra

Sendra boots originated as a family brand in 1913 in Spain. The boots are created using a time-honored process involving 250 steps. The most pivotal of these steps is called the "Goodyear Welt" which is the very step that gives the shoes their durable nature, with a double-stitch welt. Such things may seem minor to you, but that's probably because you haven't owned a good pair of boots for several years, and watched them maintain their shape and integrity through all weather as your other boots crumble and come apart. I have, and I can tell you that Sendra boots are the real deal.

This brand is a marriage of tradition and technology; 100 years of practiced hand-crafting technique are merged with the most modern styles and methods of shoe-making. I am happy to recommend the boots for your future boot-buying consideration. And if my opinion of Sendra boots isn't enough, why don't you ask David Beckham?



I'm just a writer after all--Beckham's the real deal when it comes to spokesmodeling. And hey, you've gotta admit he makes those boots look good.
