Hot Shoes: Get the Looks for Less


Oftentimes fashion and budget don’t go hand in hand. Between impulse purchases, have-to-have-them trends and fluctuating sizes due to weight gain and weight loss, it can be hard to regulate your bank account while still adding to your wardrobe. However, discount shoes and discount boots are available, and they can actually help you to get more mileage out of the favorite staples in your closet. Here, we take a look at some of the stylish yet affordable brands that are bringing the latest must have looks to the mainstream market.

Boutique 9 Shoes – The edgy designs and fun styles of Boutique 9 shoes and boots are favored by celebrities like Sandra Bullock, Jessica Alba and Rachel Zoe. Yet, luckily for you, their shoes are affordable enough that you can add them to your shopping bag, instead of just your wish-list. Popular styles include chunky wedges, stacked heels and playful pumps with noticeable design details.

Style & Co. shoes – This brand, made popular through major department stores, offers a wide variety of affordable dress, work and casual shoes. Spanning all-occasion footwear, from classic heels to strappy sandals, Style & Co. appeals to a wide age range and is now available online.

Anne Klein shoes – Classic American designer Anne Klein has several lines of affordable luxury shoes, from Anne Klein AK to Anne Klein NY to Anne Klein Sport, the brand segments itself to appeal to different audiences, and it does it well. Anne Klein AK focuses on modern silhouettes like slingbacks and kitten heels, while NY is a little bit more metropolitan with leopard pattern pumps and metallic heels, and Sport is more casual chic for the woman on the go, represented by comfortable ballet flats and slip-on clogs.

Coach shoes – Although Coach is considered a premium brand, it does offer some affordable luxury lines like Poppy, which is characterized by brighter vibrant colors and patterns. Now you can own a part of this classic Hampton-eque designer for less. If you’re interested in classic Coach shoes, those can be found online for a fraction of what you would pay direct through the retailer.

These are just some of the designers that offer fashion forward shoes that won’t empty your piggy bank. If you are patient and seek out the deals, discount shoes and discount boots can be purchased any time of the year. You just have to know where to look.
