Born Pratt mid-calf boots: the detailing makes this boot stand apart

Bornpratt I had the chance to see these awesome boots up close and personal today as I shopped at Macy's with my mom.  Leaving the kids at home with my hubby and dad, I was thrilled just to mill around the shoe department (and Lush cosmetics counter, but that's for another blog). I came across the boot I had been eying online, the Born Pratt. 

Not being able to find a salesperson that wasn't already running ragged to serve her customers, I decided just to man-handle the boot a bit. The sole is extremely flexible, the leather is soft, the heel is manageable and the detailing sets it apart from the other boring black boots. Knowing I could find the boot for less than the $180 Macy's sticker, I came home and found it for as low as $169.99 with free shipping at Shoemall.com.

Dansko Gracie: Dansko takes on the ballet flat

Danskogracie_2 I appreciate Dansko for trying to make a shoe that somewhat resembles a ballet flat. This shoe is for you sturdier ballerinas with its dual density Carbosan TM foam footbed, durable polyurethane sole and roomy toe box.

I'm showing the red Gracie because it shows off the contrast stitching,  but brown and black are also available. $123.95 at Zappos, free shipping.

Naturalizer Voss: A little heel for this Mary Jane

Naturalizervoss_4 I'm going to classify this shoe as a flat even though it has a heel of 5/8 inch, if that's alright with you. Naturalizer is steppin' it up with these cuties, which come in colors like tootsie roll, venom, coffee bean, leopard and yes, just basic black.

With a memory foam cushioned insole, rounded toe and flexible sole, the Voss would be a perfect work shoe for those of you on your feet all day. Some online stores offer wide widths, see below.

Birkenstock Anadil: Heidi Klum should stick to her day job

Birkenstockanadil The Who let the dogs out? shoe of the week is the Birkenstock Anadil designed by Heidi Klum. Is this a joke or is this a serious attempt oElf_2n Ms. Klum's part to break into the fashion industry?

The open-back mule style is just not practical for your average hard-working elf residing in the North Pole.  Buddy is sporting  the closed-back style which for obvious reasons is a better choice for true elves.

Great deal at Shoes.com: 25% off, no minimum purchase

Shoes.com is offering 25% off with no minimum purchase and free shipping. Simply fill your cart with shoes and enter "luckybreaks7" at checkout to receive your discount.  Danskotuttie

Not sure what to buy? Take a look at Dansko's new pump called Tuttie. I remember when Dansko picked sweet sounding Danish names for their shoes like Ingrid, Sonja or Anja. Perhaps Facts of Life is a popular syndication in Denmark...I dunno. What I do know is that these fit differently than the Dansko clogs--is that stating the obvious? The toe box isn't as generous, so order up. I usually take a 40 (9.5-10) European  in Dansko clogs but would need a 41 in the Tuttie.
