Manolo’s Shoe Blog

Manolo says, February is usually one of the best months for the shoe sales, as it is the end of one season, and the beginning of the other. And now, here is the perfect opportunity for the Manolo’s internet friends who love the muy comfortable shoes of the Taryn Rose to purchase them at the discount.

Here are four of the Manolo’s favorite current bargains.

Above is the Harmony, the shoe the Manolo recommended exactly one year ago in his newspaper column. They remain the handsome and fun shoe, but now they are selling at the unbelievably ridiculous price of only $75! Hurry!

The red satin Camore slingback pump catches the eye with its shiny heel, making it the perfect feetwear for the cocktail party of moderate swankiness. And it is nearly half off the usual price!

The Tyra from Taryn Rose looks smashing in the disco silver and black. And, it is greatly reduced in price!

And, saving the best bargain for last…

This is the Calypso from Taryn Rose, the simple, elegant, evening sandal which will never go out of style, selling for only $135 of the American dollars! This is
the savings of nearly 70%! 70%!!!!!! Seventy Percent!!!!

Hurry! Before they are all gone!

Manolo says, the Manolo’s friends at Zappos are offering several end-of-the-season bargains on the super fantastic Sigerson Morrison shoes.

For the example, these knotted high heel sandals from Sigerson Morrison are over 50% off of the regular price, the true bargain!

And these silvery thong Sigerson Morrison sandals are selling at the discount, over $170 of the American dollars off of the usual price!

And now you must hurry! Before these bargains are disappeared!

Manolo says, one of the Manolo’s internet friends has asked the Manolo the question.

I will be in Madrid and Barcelona in February and wonder if you or Patricia could give some suggestions for shoe shopping in those cities. I love Spanish shoes! Any other recommendations (for clothes, jhewelry, great restaurants) would be appreciated as well. I know you’re not a travel blog but any direction you could give a shoe and fashion lover would be great! Thanks!

Nearly three and the half years ago, the Manolo answered the same question, and the advice he gave at that time, to go shoe shopping on the Calle Augusto Figeroa near the Plaza Chueca, is still perfectly cromulent. And, likewise, the Manolo continues to recommend the Bodega Angel Sierra for the vermouth, Bocaito for the tapas, and Cafe Bardemcilla (whose owner has only gotten more famous in America) for the celebrity spotting.

By the way, when the Manolo lived in Madrid, lo these many years ago, he lived exactly one half the block from the corner of Augusto Figeroa and Libertad, in the very heart of the shoe shopping district, which is one of many reasons why he can make these recommendations with complete assurance.

And now, because the shoppingistas have embraced the ever-improving interweb technology for videos, there are even videos discussing shoe shopping in Chueca!

Truly we live in the age of vicarious wonders!

Manolo says, the Manolo is enjoying the languorous pace of this week between Christmas and the New Years. Please forgive.

In the meantime, here is some beautiful feetwear from Sigerson Morrison that are discounted for your post Christmas festival of regretful semi-frugality.

This fetching ankle bootie, the 9630 from Sigerson Morrison is discounted nearly 30%, the savings of over $225 of the American dollars.

This stylish classic pump, the 9633 from Sigerson Morrison, would be the excellent addition to your everyday wardrobe, and it is on the sale, also almost 30% off the usual price.

Manolo says, if you are looking for the super fantastic Christmas gift at the reasonable price, perhaps our dear friend Twistie can help. She is blogging up the bargains at the Manolo’s Basement of the Bargains.

Manolo says, just in time for the holidays, our dear friend Twistie is back blogging about the spectacular bargains at the Manolo’s Basement for the Bargains!

Manolo says, since Manolo’s yesterday choice of practical end-of-the-summer sale shoe was given the less than enthusiastic greeting, the Manolo will try again.

Behold! Here is the Equus from Matt Bernson, the lovely sandal that is on the deep
discount sale at Piperlime, 35% off of the regular price!

Manolo says, it is Friday in late July and you are itching to get yourself out the door of your office and to the weekend. But you cannot, because your Boss, Mr. Napoleon H. Stalin, is standing there asking you to work hard on his useless tasks until quitting time. The nerve of that man!

And you would like to shout, “Talk to the hand, you petty tyrant!” to be accompanied by the appropriate hand and/or finger gestures.

But then, you know that if you do that you will be out on the street looking for work in this economy, which you will probably not find. And then, slowly your savings will be eaten away, and you will fall behind on the bills and the mortgage, and then your house will be foreclosed upon and your entire family will be forced to move in with your parents. The fate worse than death!

And so you suck it up, and drive on, doing exactly that which your boss has specified, even if you can feel your soul slowly draining down into your toes.

What you need right now is to look at some fancy lady shoes! And the fanciest ladyest shoes are from Beverly Feldman!

Here are three shoes that will cheer you.

Above is the Milady, the flowerly suede number that makes the Manolo smile.

Here is the Fire-Isle, the kitten heeled thong sandal with the exuberant adornment.

And finally, here is the aptly-named Stunning from Beverly Feldman

Sandalicious!

Did the Manolo mention that all three of these marvelous shoes are currently on the sale, nearly 40% off of the regular price? Indeed they are, as are many shoes at the Zappos!

P.S. Do you know that sometimes the super fantastic Beverly Feldman herself leaves the comments on the humble shoe blog of the Manolo.

Manolo says, the Manolo has been feeling the little bit under the weather, down with the small, niggling lung infection that has sapped his strength and made him wheezy.

Of the course, the best cure for such illness (aside from antibiotics) is shoes on the sale, such as these marvelous Jimmy Choo green patent sandals.

Nearly 60% off of the regular price!.
