It's long past the time to put away your winter shoes. Especially your boots!

But, you say, it's so hard to store boots. The boxes always wind up crushed and unstackable. Plus everyone hates not being able to see what's in which cardboard box.

For a cool solution to these challenges, enter our Shoe Stör giveaway!

Ah, summer time. Cookouts. Weekend afternoon parties. Long, warm evenings in friends' backyards. It's the season for sundresses, bare legs and pretty pedicures.

This adds up to a deep need for new sandals.

A sensible woman would get something neutral and comfortable, a pair you can wear anywhere, with anything.

Yeah. Well, good for them.

We want these crazy 4" 4.25" high, green, wooden wedge heels with a hole in the middle of them. They look moderately uncomfortable and totally hard to walk in. L-o-v-e at first sight.

They live at Target, and will come home with us for $19.99. At least we won't need to use rent money to pay for them, unlike the $700 peach suede Prada sandals smirking at us over at Neiman Marcus.

We love high heels. We love wearing high heels. We just don't always love walking in high heels. And, of course, we could always carry a pair of flip flops or origami emergency shoes around with us, sometimes that's just not feasible. What to do then? Suffer? We think not -- meet our new favorite shoe, CAMiLEON Heels!

It's always fun to add a splash of color or an interesting pattern with your shoes, especially in the summer when your legs tend to be more bare. And, as we've mentioned before, we kind of love a preppy plaid. So what could be better than wearing a fun, bright plaid as a shoe?

We just got back from a run. We went an incredibly short distance in a disgustingly disproportionate amount of time. We might still be running.

Of course, it could have been that time stood still once we made the mistake of choosing our footwear as our focal point. How can we breathe and push with a beige pair of 1997 on our feet? It ain't easy.

Hence our little perusal of the Saucony website. Saucony makes running shoes. They "exist for runners." They offer a line of footwear that is as aesthetically pleasing as it is functional. Comfortable, too.

Attention all suckers for luxury products -- this is the shoe for you. These flip-flops are made with a "patent pending ultra-sports shoe base" and feature "hand-matched crocodile straps for magnificent comfort."

Somehow, this means that they're worth $400 -- a price so high, that it makes these rather unfortunate looking sandals are the "most expensive production flip-flops in the world."

She's baaaaack.

After dropping a rather forgettable spring line full of tees and jackets covered in four-leaf clovers and pink kisses, women's streetwear designer Leah McSweeney of Married To The Mob gets ready to reclaim her throne as the undisputed HBIC in this niche market with the drop of her rather impressive limited-edition sneaker -- which is in collaboration with Reebok and cooler than thou French boutique Colette.

We love stumbling upon new and exciting products Dr. Scholl's Rub Relief Strips.

Okay, it's simply a cool dispenser for moleskin, but it's so cool that it makes moleskin seem fresh and useful all over again.

For those times when the world needs to know that you'll exchange sex for money, you can't go wrong with a pair of shockingly-tall, black leather stilettos. But what most hookers don't realize is that you don't have to forgo fitness while you're pacing poorly-lit street corners and schlepping up stair cases to the untidy apartments of lonely pervs.

In fact, you don't even need a separate stair-counter for your working-girl workouts -- all thanks to these new heels from Costume National.

In light of the Talbot's overhaul, they might want to turn to fellow women's retailer Chadwick's for inspiration. Their clothes are tasteful without being matronly, youthful without being too young, and classic without being boring.

We first encountered Chadwick's on our hunt for a pair of heeled oxfords (we were going through our menswear phase then) and have been keeping up with their collections ever since. It's important for a girl to have a go-to source for a nice dress appropriate for Easter/meeting the parents/ sorority tea/your cousin's wedding, especially bigger girls because we know, WE KNOW how depressing it is to be offered long, shapeless dresses with ridiculously large flowers again and again like so many floral pup tents. Check out the gallery of our favorite selections from the most recent catalog.

Most of us have days involving a hundred errands in nearly as many places, meaning we've got a full day on our feet ahead of us. And, while sometimes a cute sandal or flat will work, sometimes a girl just wants a good, comfy pair of sneakers. However, deciding to sport a sneaker doesn't mean you have to give up on style!

There's no doubt that we love the way our legs look in extremely high heels -- put us in a 4" or 5" heel, and we'll show you legs that seem to go on forever, like our pal Gwyneth Paltrow over to the right. However, the New York Times recently had an article about the high, high heel and how women walk in them.

And, of course, the answer is the same as how one would move a 600 pound gorilla -- very carefully.

You knew it had to be a man who said that we don't need shoes.

This week in a story on NPR, Adam Sternbergh of New York magazine calls footwear "a conspiracy of idiocy." He compares wearing shoes to putting a cast on your arm and never taking it off.

He thinks we should stop wearing shoes.

Excuse us while we sit with heads between our legs, and breathe into a paper bag until we regain our composure.

That's why we're pleased to bring you the 'Trash Talk' shoe from Nike. Yes, Nike. Big companies can have a heart, too.

Some people have tender heads. We have very soft, tender tootsies, so we're always searching for cute shoes that won't cut our feet to shreds.

We expect high heels and strappy sandals to be tough on feet, but the surprise villain in this story is flip flops. They can be the cruelest of footwear to delicate toes.
