End-of-summer steals on some seriously beautiful shoes at Ped!

September 17th, 2008

I confess I am a Ped Shoes addict. Ped has the kind of beautifully made, offbeat styles that I am just a sucker for (can you hear the $ being sucked out of my bank account?). Happily, a couple times a year I can catch a deal there–like right now. Ped’s summer stock, what there is left of it, is way on sale. Of course, it helps if you have very large or very petite feet, but there are still a few beauties left for the rest of us like the first pair below by Alberto Fermani. Here are just a few of the wondrous bargains currently at Ped. And it’s always worth a drool over the new stock, too (speaking of Alberto Fermani, check out his western-style ankle boots while you’re at Ped–I’ll put a picture of those last):
