Having never bought shoes online I was very skeptical. How can an online retailer replicate the experience of a brick & mortar? Shoes are an item where fit is key and some shoes look eons better on, than on the shelf - both factors of which are impossible to fulfill online. Luckily, Famous Footwear tries to ease this experience as much as possible by providing mult-angle shots of each shoe, customer reviews, and detailed shoes sizes showing both length and width. They also allow you to return unworn merchandise within 30 days if it doesn't fit, or you decide those platform Uggs are just not you (ugh).
Being a typical Libra though, I could not decide which shoes to get! Practical or impractical? Comfort, or hotness? It is the eternal dilemma of my life. Thank goodness I have you readers to help me! Please vote in the comments and I'll buy whatever you all pick!
I have a hard time finding flats that fit my super narrow ankles, but these are available in a 5 so maybe, just maybe, they will be a keeper! The red color would be cute with sundresses in summer, and with tights in winter. They also come in black and brown, but I already own a pair of black flats.
Every woman needs a pair of classic black pumps in her shoe closet and these totally fit the bill. Made of faux-leather with a 3" heel, these shoes are practical, smart, yet stylish. They are the white bread of shoes, as they go with everything!
Now let's take a minute away from practicality and jump headlong into fantastic! These unique looking babies just jumped out of the page and went "Buy Me." These are the kind of shoes that you either love, or hate. With the black edged stitching against the vanilla tone that is faintly reminiscent of Chanel, the 4" heel with hidden platform, the cool cut-outs, and that unique ribbon topper, I'm leaning more towards love.
It's barely winter, but I'm already looking towards sunnier days with these comfy and summery heels. I like how the ankle strap secures your foot and its versatile, earthy, tan color.
Hmm I really do have a thing for Madden Girl shoes, don't I? Perhaps it's my small feet restricting me to the manufacturers who cater to teeny people, or maybe it's just that Steve Madden's trendy style speaks to my soul like a long-lost lover. A few weeks ago I saw a girl on the street sporting these awesome vintage cowboy boots with tights and I felt it, that hard lusting feeling - I needed cowboy boots. However, being as nature and I get along like John & Kate, I could never go for full-blown cowboy boots, but these cowboy-esque boots would suit me just fine. The stirrup detail and stitching down the side give just enough country flavour, and the low heel make these boots utterly walkable.
So there you have it people, the choices are laid out and now it's up to you to rescue me from the depths of indecision! Also, I will not consider buying more than a single pair as I recently came back from two trips in as many months, so I need to save money up for Christmas presents rather than selfishly spending on myself. I know, I am such a saint at times. I had previously offered to knit homemade sweaters instead of buying gifts, but my lovely boyfriend just said "Uhh.. no thanks, I have enough sweaters." Really, why do I put up with such abuse.

The stirrup boots are cool!
violet. it's the most unique. you can get the black pumps and red flats anywhere!
Hmmm.. Tough call.
I think the r2 Violet shoes suit you the best. They seem the right combination of cute and hot that would make them versatile with a number of outfits.
I think second choice would be the red flats, third choice the stirrup boots.
I vote Violet, but I think you must've known I would do that as soon as you said reminiscent of Chanel. ;-)
I LOVE the r2 violets....SO cute!
I did not know Famous Footwear is online. We have the physical stores here and they are nice and not too pricey.
Hmm...I must contradict everyone by voting for the Cow boots by Madden Girls. They just look so comfy :O)
A big vote towards r2 Violet!!
ahh my favourite kind of post, SHOES! Congrats on the giveaway win dear! I like the Madden Girl cowboy boots, if you don't already have a pair, I say go for those. Do they come in black though? The flats and classic black pumps are always good basics to have but you won this gift card so I think it should be spent on something different, treat yourself! I like the r2 Violet peep toe cut out pumps, very Chanel. The Connie Tan Le Tonya remind me of a Michael Kors pair too. I say choose between the two of those - good luck! ;) and have a good weekend!

Hey MizzJ,
Go for the violets!! I can see you wearing those with a variety of outfits. 2nd choice would be the stirrup boots if you don't already have flats (don't remember if you do or not).
omgggggggggg.. the r2 violet shoes are AMAZINGGGGGGG!!!!!
Due to the fact that I saw Lauren Conrad and Lo Bosworth donning mathing pairs of adorable Miu Miu's that looked quite a bit like the Connie Tan Le Tonya not too long ago, I have to vote for those!
Congratulations on winning the Giveaway darling! :)
I vote for the Madden Girl Stirrup booties... it's winter so great time for it. ;)
I'm thinking the R2 Violet because I seriously adore the cut outs and the nude color. Since it's a neutral, it'll go with practically anything and instantly give your outfit a kick :)
If you're looking for more practice look, then the boots! Can't ever go wrong with boots!
