Shoe Shopping Ectasy

You know the excitement of ordering shoes online?

They come in the mail and you practically hug the UPS guy, grab the box and run inside. You tear open the packaging like it’s Christmas morning. That “new shoe” smell heightens your excitement as you lift off the top of the shoe box. Your hear races as you carefully fold back the tissue paper to reveal your gorgeous new shoes. Ah, it’s love at first sight all over again!

But does it end there? Oh no!

You gleefully rip the stuffing out of the toe boxes and slip the shoes on to your feet for the very first time. The moment your tender soles touch the cushioned footbed, you literally die and go to shoe heaven…

Their not just ordinary old shoes. They’re made by Söfft Shoe Company.

Yeah, their that good.

What shoes have me going this crazy?

What: Sofft “Freeda” Ankle Bootie in Black Leather

“Flaunt your style with this fashionable ankle bootie.” their website says. And you can do just that! These ankle booties are not only totally fashionable and stylish, but they are… get this… comfortable.

If you aren’t completely amazed by this, then you must have soles of steel, because anyone with a normal foot knows that 3 inch heels are NOT comfortable.

Well forget everything you think you know about 3 inch heels and get a load of this:

* Offered in washed Nappa leathers and rich kid suedes
* Folded collar ankle bootie
* Baby doll toe
* Leather-lined footbed
* Hidden gore
* Unique curved heel
* Leawood leather stacked heel
* Heel Height: 3 1/4 inches

And yes, they’re comfortable. That means you can go grocery shopping, pick your kids up from school, shop at the mall, go out to dinner, and you’ll still be able to walk the next day.

Now, I know the price looks a little scary at first, but my philosophy is this: Why have 5 pairs of uncomfortable shoes that I never wear, when I can have 1 pair of super fashionable, super comfy shoes that I can wear all the time, for the same price?

You think about that…

Price: $129.95 – $139.95
