Catching a case of the boot blahs?  Get the cure by checking out this pair by Irregular Choice, which is anything but ordinary.  Take a look at the shiny, diamond-esque heel, a design feature you certainly don’t see very often (if ever) on a pair of boots.  The Irregular Choice Diamontina boot in gray is offered at Karmaloop for $184 and coupon code HOTDEALS (expiration unknown) takes another 20% off, making them $147.20 with free shipping.  There’s also a red version.  Put them on and rock them out - you’re guaranteed to stand out.

And did I mention the cool sole?  A unique sole graphic is always a fun extra even if you do, literally, step all over it.  This pic is from Endless, where the black version is available in limited sizes for $195.95 with free overnight shipping.

Kohl’s has a new coupon for 20% off any order, which includes their selection of shoes.  You can get the discount on their regular or sale shoes and even clearance shoes.  Just apply coupon code SHOPEARLY to get the savings at checkout. 

Kohl’s offers plenty of well-known brands, like Asics, Candies, Converse, New Balance, Nike and Skechers, and most are already on sale.  I also found that the code does apply to Skechers Shape-Ups, which are often excluded from coupon discounts.  The black and white Skechers Shape-Ups Strength High-Performance Shoes pictured here are $99.99 (reduced from $109.95), but go down to $79.99 after coupon.  Shipping is free on $50 or more.  The coupon expires 11/21/09.

6pm is having a New Balance sale this week, which discounts the brand by up to 70%.  Of course, the sizes for many pairs are very limited, but I noticed there’s still availability on this pair - the New Balance SW920.  It’s on sale for $28.50 (MSRP $95) and there’s still a wide selection of sizes to pick from in lavender or yellow.  Of course, you can also check out all of the other New Balance shoes on sale (select your size at the top) to see what strikes your fancy.  Sale ends 11/22/09.

Zappos and Steve Madden have teamed up to offer a very fun and super-addictive new contest called Sole Search.  In the contest, you can design your very own pair of shoes and submit your entry for a chance to win one of several prizes, including the opportunity to pitch your shoe idea to Steve Madden himself.  That’s this guy:

Just a fair warning, once you start playing around with their shoe editor, which allows you to choose from several shoe styles, material, colors and embellishments, it’s kind of hard to stop.  Things like work, errands and other responsibilities can very quickly fall away to indulging every one of your shoe design fantasies.  But, someone will win the grand prize, which means your design could be produced and sold at Zappos/Steve-Madden, plus you could win a $500 gift card from both Zappos and Steve Madden.  Three other winners (Original Design, Entry Editor and Most Viral) will also win the opportunity to pitch their design to Steve Madden, plus $250 gift cards from Zappos and Steve Madden.  There will also be 10 random winners from those who sign up for Zappos and Steve Madden emails (no entry required), who will win $100 gift cards.  You can enter as many times as you’d like, so let the creative juices flow, baby.

Here are a few of my shoe creations:

Please don’t hesitate to vote for one of these pairs by clicking on them and selecting “Vote For This Entry”  if you feel so inclined (shameless plug, I know!).  The contest is running until 12/29/09, so get your own shoe designs entered for your chance to win.  I’m sure I’ll be sneaking in a few more entries in myself.

6pm is having another Gabriella Rocha sale, with all pairs discounted to $6.95.  The selection is mostly sandals and wedge styles this time - their last sale that had pairs marked down as low as $4.95 cleared the selection of pumps and boots out pretty well.  But, you might be able to find a few gems in there and, if you think ahead to warmer weather, you’ll have a cute new pair or two to wear once spring hits.  I like this black suede Gabriella Rocha Joy, which is still available in several sizes and could be worn now with black tights.  Sale ends 11/19/09.

Save some major dough on shoes today at Shoesteal, the clearance site for Shoes.com.  They have all shoes marked down 60-90% and it gets even better when you apply coupon code TURKEY25 for an additional 25% off at checkout.  There are tons of shoes to choose from and availability is limited for many styles, so try choosing your size on the left first for best results.

As an example of the savings, there are several Reebok athletic shoes marked down to $20.10, like the Reebok Rbk Zone II pictured here, and those pairs are only $15.08 after coupon.  You’ll also find brands like Report Signature, BCBGMAXAZRIA, Corso Como, Betsey Johnson, Daniblack, Hale Bob, Rock & Republic and many more on major discount. 

Coupon expiration is unknown and sale expires 11/18/09.  Also, all sales are final.  Hurry before all the good stuff is gone!

Macy’s is having their One Day Sale today and the shoe deals are hot.  You can check out their web busters specials that include several boots marked down to $38.99, like this suede Style & Co Witty Cold Weather Boot.  You can also get an extra 25% off any clearance shoes (prices as marked); for instance, the FitFlop Walkstar Jelly Sandal is again marked down to $29.99 (originally $59.99).  Or, browse all other sale shoes that are reduced 30-50%.  Sale expires 11/18/09.
