Worishofer - Yellow Leather Adjustable Slide

I hosted two shoe parties this weekend.  Both went well – thanks to everyone for your feedback and purchases!

The hot Worishofer sandals went quickly, and I now only have a few pairs left in a handful of sizes.

Since I only have a couple left, I am offering a coupon for $10 off, so the sandals will be only $49, with f*ree shipping. The coupon is available while supplies last.

When you get to the shopping cart, just choose your color and size and put in code “MD1” in the coupon code field and hit apply to get the $10 coupon.

As a reminder, the Worishofer sandals are the colorful comfort sandals that I have in purple, blue and yellow, worn by Maggie Gyllenhaal, Michelle Williams and other celebrities.

The New York Daily News wrote a piece about them recently, and the CBS Early Show did a story on them.

You can read more about them and buy them here.

On Monday, the New York Daily News wrote a piece on the hot Worishofer comfort shoes worn by celebs and New Yorkers.

On Tuesday, the CBS Early Show did a story on them.

What are they?

The Worishofer shoes are ultra-comfortable cork-soled leather slides designed by a podiatrist.  They have been seen on the feet of Maggie Gyllenhaal and Michelle Williams.  

I spoke to my Worishofer Rep, and she told me that the shoes are flying out of their warehouse, so I snagged some of the hottest ones just for you! They fit all widths, since they are adjustable, and I have them in all sizes.

To make this quick and easy, I’m selling them for $59, with free shipping, with no returns.  You can exchange (for another size)  the unused item in its original condition within 14 days from date of purchase. 

I have three colors available in the leather buckle slides / adjustable widths. But them now, here.

Worishofer – Blue Nubuck Adjustable Slide

Worishofer - Purple Nubuck Adjustable Slide

Buy them before they’re gone, right here.

You can read the New York Daily News story here.

You can see the CBS Early Show story and fashion piece here.

The sandals are new, and they are called Orthaheels.  You can get free shipping and buy them here.

The name may not sound trendy, but they look great and feel even better.  They fit all widths, and have styles for men and women (my husband loves them!). 

My husband and I tried these on at a local comfort shoe shop and were blown away. Here are some styles: 

Orthaheel Women's Tide Thong Sandals

Orthaheel Women’s Tide Thong Sandals help relieve foot and lower body pain with built-in orthotics.

Our feet were designed to walk on soft, natural surfaces like soil and sand, but we walk on unnatural, hard, flat surfaces like pavement and floors. This forces our feet to roll over and our arches to flatten, causing excess pronation. This thong sandal features the built-in Orthaheel orthotic, invented by Dr. Phillip Vasyli to realign your feet to their natural position, encourage better body posture and relieve the symptoms of plantar fasciitis and excess pronation. The two-tone mesh upper has patent trim.

Orthaheel Men's / Women's Kiwi Slide Sandals

Orthaheel Men’s / Women’s Kiwi Slide Sandals

This podiatrist-designed slide sandal is made with a built-in orthotic—a motion control midsole molded with a stabilizing deep heel cup and arch support to help relieve heel pain. The nubuck polyurethane upper sports an athletic-inspired style and features a hook-and-loop closure for easy on / off and superior fit. Water-resistant upper and quick-dry lining help keep feet dry.

Make your summer more comfortable by grabbing these sandals.  Don’t forget, you can get free shipping until midnight EST on July 31, 2010 when you buy at least one pair of women’s sandals here.

I made these for my feet in a shoe-making class. Obviously, I like funky shoes!

As you know, I love shoes. Especially fun, stylish, comfortable shoes.  Since I wear a 7 Extra Wide Shoe, it has been an often frustrating quest to find them.

Thank goodness for the Internet.

While there are great local shops, it’s impossible to find the selection of styles and widths in a single store that you find online.

That’s one of the reasons I created this site. 

Many of you have told me that you don’t want to buy online because it’s a hassle, so I want to assure you that there are options for everyone out there, to make buying shoes online easy and hassle-free.

I also realized that I am familiar with some of the intricacies of these sites, but that others might not be.  So I wanted to give information on my top sites, and more details that will help you make better choices.

How Wide Shoe Websites Differ

Product Selection: Some sites offer an amazing range of wide shoes.  Others offer a smaller range, but with great prices.  Some offer really inexpensive prices on whatever sizes and widths are available.

Shipping and Returns: Some sites offer free shipping and returns all the time.  Some offer free shipping some of the time.  Some offer very low prices all the time, without free shipping and free returns. Some sites include return labels in the box you receive shoes in, and others ask you to go to a Website to print out or get that information, or you have to write it on the box yourself.  Some sites allow you to return shoes via UPS, the US Post Office, or both.

A Comparison of Wide Shoe Websites and Which One is Right for You – Plus a Few Tips You Might Not Know

First of all, I will say that when I recommend a particular shoe, it is generally the best “deal” in every way, taking into account price, shipping and return policy, as well as the best selection of style and widths. Plus, I also get advance notice of special deals like free shipping and big discounts (see Full Disclosure section below).

In addition, I go to shoe shows, talk with Manufacturer’s Reps, and do tons of research on brands you might never have heard of, so I can often provide information on a shoe you might never realize is a perfect fit.

That said, if you just want to take a look at shoes on these sites, here are some important details to note.

The shoes are made of leather, and are ultra-comfortable.  They come in a full range of widths, including wide and extra wide.

Many of the styles exclusive to the Easy Spirit stores and Website are on sale.  Here are three of my favorites…

Go here to get free shipping and the following discounted prices:

Style: Reanna - colors include black, brown, white and blue

1) My new favorite wedge – so comfortable and fashionable – and I can walk in it even with a 3.5 inch heel!  Leather, with a cork heel. Originally $85, now only $39.99.  I bought it in white (it’s hard to find great white wedges), but I might buy it in some or all of the other colors – black, brown and blue. 

Style:  Reanna

- P.S. – This does not come in Extra Wide, and I normally wear an Extra Wide, but it runs very wide, and the Wide actually fits me well 

Style: Travel Time - many styles and colors; shown in purple suede

2) My favorite leather closed-toe, flat slides (not sneakers) – Traveltime – in exclusive colors and patterns – including purple suede, which I’m eyeing, are originally $59, now $39.99. These come in Narrow, Medium, Wide and Extra Wide, and I always get the extra wide in my normal size 7. Nine million pairs have been sold in the last five years, and I love the ones I own – so comfortable! Great for shopping, doing errands, and more.

Style: Triska - colors include black, ivory, copper, pewter and fuchsia

3) A stylish, comfortable, business casual sandal in leather with a 2.5 inch heel.  Cool colors, including pewter, copper, black, ivory and fuschia. Again, the Wide fit my Extra Wide foot. Originally $69, now only $39.99. Style:  Triska

It’s even harder to get them at low prices.

That’s why I’m up early and excited to write about a special sale on one of my favorite shoe brands, Bella Vita — stylish, comfortable shoes that come in a range of widths, including wide and extra wide.  In fact, I wore my favorite pair to a function yesterday, but I’ll have to tell you about that later.

Today only, you can get free shipping and a few styles are on sale for only $14.95 (normally they run $70-$120).

The free shipping is available on orders over $100.

Oh, and by the way, today’s sale styles come in Medium through Extra Wide, so you might want to tell all your friends and family about this one!

To get free shipping, and the special prices for these shoes and others, visit the special page at 6pm.com. 

I dare you to see if there’s a style you don’t like — on sale are flats, heels, sandals and more.

A few of the styles on sale I recommend:

Happy Independence Day and Happy Shopping!

I paid more for these shoes than I’ve ever paid for any other pair of shoes. And they were worth it. But here’s the good news — you don’t have to!

Guaranteed to get you compliments, these are my go-to wedges — and they’re on sale for less than $70 (normally they cost almost $200).

Super comfy and fashionable, the three-inch wedge heel has a fun dotted design. They were the first pair of Helle Comfort shoes I bought, and I now own many others.

My Size 7 Extra Wide foot, as well as the Size 7 Medium and Size 7 Wide feet of friends and family (yes, I had everyone try them) all fit in these ”Medium” shoes. They are truly magical (and the elasticized straps help).

I have them in black (see me wearing them in the photo), and they also come in red and beige. They’re going fast at this price, so get ‘em while you can.

Get them here.

Nine million people can’t be wrong.  Well, actually it’s probably less than that.  Nine million pairs of these comfortable slides have been sold in the last five years, and I’m sure many women bought more than one pair.

This is my go-to shoe when I don’t want to wear sneakers, but still want to do some serious walking (like going shopping or traveling).  I also wear these when it’s raining in the summer, but I don’t want a heavy shoe.  And of course I find excuses to wear these when I’m doing errands or running to quick appointments, because they are so comfortable.

They come in many colors, and just went on sale and are now only $52.95. I got mine for $65.

They run true to size, and come in all widths, including wide and extra wide.
