Try A Manolo Blahnik Store To Save Money On Shoes
OK, I admit that I don't get the whole "designer" thing. Paying inflated prices for clothing, shoes and the like just because a celebrity has her/his name on them hasn't ever made sense to me. But when a friend showed me her new Manolo Blahnik shoes I was really taken aback.
First of all, the shoes look as though they were designed by the Spanish Inquisition. The heels are so high that her feet are perched at a dangerous angle. Not only must they be incredibly uncomfortable, but the damage it does to your back has the chiropractic industry moaning in horror.
Another danger: the straps that hold the shoe on are ... hardly there. It seems to me as though it would be extremely easy to teeter, loose your balance and break an ankle.
When she told me the price I was aghast! These Manolo Blahnik things aren't cheap. I immediately went to eBay and showed her 131 stores that are selling Blahniks at lower prices than she paid for them.
Of course, what do I know? I wear nothing but clogs and athletic shoes. Clogs are the closest and most acceptable alternative to bedroom slippers and I love them with all my heart. My criteria for shoes is:
1. Comfort
2. Comfort
3. Comfort
If you're going to buy designer shoes, check out eBay stores first so at least your wallet doesn't hurt as much as your feet.
