*Deal of the Week* Final Sale Shoes at Piperlime

WAS: $300
NOW: $149.95

Don't miss out on browsing "Final Sale" items at Piperlime! Although there are no returns or exchanges, you can shop for extremely low-priced shoes before the stock sells out for good. Sure, it might help to have a few female friends or relatives with a wide variety of shoe sizes willing to take some poorly fitting soles off your hands in case of an emergency, but there's still a great chance you'll land on major savings for remarkable finds -- especially if you stick to brands you already know and love wearing. For example, that means up to 70% off on items like these "Pierce" over-the-knee boots by Sam Edelman, now more than half off their original price!

*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.

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"!

*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.

*Deal of the Week* Adidas Y-3 by Yohji Yamamoto

WAS: $420
NOW: $336

I. want. these. OMG. Just the right amount of athleticism and street chic, but a girl in wedges that high definitely means business. A little on the Lisbeth Salander side of fashion, but I just know I could make them work! If I only had hundreds of dollars to spend, that is; these are currently marked down but not quite enough to fall into the "writer's budget" category. Especially not with all the spending I've been doing lately. Even with Free Shipping. But oh man...I wish I had the money - or at least the guts to go broke over these.

I love deals on top of deals, and I've been waiting all week to tell you about this one for our *Deal of the Week.* It's an additional 15% off any Bluefly shoes that are already on sale.

*Deal of the Week* Shoe Shopping with Smarter.com

There were so many great deals this week, it was hard to pick a *Deal of the Week* that would top them. Instead, I'm going to tell you about using Smarter.com to comparison shop for shoes. You can use the button below to be taken directly to the Shoe category of this search site. From there, you can select a list of your shoe-shopping criteria, from size to color to price (I frequently prefer to browse by brand), and narrow down your selection from thousands and thousands of styles. Your final selection of shoes is a brief overview that lets you find the shoe you're seeking at the best price from across the Web--most often with Free Shipping. For example, by searching for "Dress Shoes" and then choosing "Betsey Johnson" and "-$200" I was able to quickly locate these suede "Itsy" pumps for $99.95 at KarmaLoop.com--about $50 cheaper than they're selling for at Nordstrom's.

*Deal of the Week* Sale on Zappos T-Straps

D&G DS2373 E7806 Variante Abbinata
Was: $835
Now: $388

I'm always on the lookout for new office shoes. For many people, this means a classic pump or mary-jane. For me, I think of the t-strap. This is one of my favorite shoe styles, actually. I think it's insanely flattering what a chic t-strap can do for your look in terms of elongating your leg and standing out from a crowd of typical slip-ons. Zappos has an entire section dedicated to t-straps that are on sale, like this D&G Variante Abbinata leopard-print set that was originally $835, now marked down to $388. Not that I'm saying that's exactly peanuts, but you have to admit it's a smashing sale price. And thinking of all the many ways and places I'd wear these shoes in particular, it starts to sound like a great idea. Still a little beyond my price point right now, unfortunately, but I definitely needed to share this great find with you in case you've got bucks to spare that I haven't! Or maybe just a hot Valentine's Day date that might motivate you to splurge?

*Deal of the Week* - *Style Bard Exclusive* - Anton Leather Zip-Up Laces

You know how I love to get you exclusive deals? Well for one month only, starting today, Style Bard readers will receive 10% off their order from Anton Leather just by mentioning that they heard about the discount on this blog. And this is happening because I 100% adore the line's new release of zipper shoelaces that I believe would look especially hot in almost any pair of leather boots--not to mention they're one way to make your tired old sneakers look a little more badass (if you insist on wearing them outside of the gym, that is). These trendy laces don't just come in the traditional metallic tones, either; you can also check them out in blue and pink. The only little trick here is that you have to send an e-mail to [antonleather@gmail.com] to order (which you can do directly by hitting the button below). Yes, these products are so new and rare they're not even online yet--but hey, think about how cool that makes you when you're among the first to sport the look! Anton Leather also sells a limited line of zippable, slip-on Converse Chuck Taylors for the first shoppers to call in and snatch them up, also eligible for 10% off discount by mentioning Style Bard. You're welcome; enjoy!

*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.
