The best part of summer has yet to come

  Summer brings mosquito bites, bad flings (good flings), sun burns, horrible burnt hot dogs occasional jet ski accidents and the inevitable bout of Cryptosporidium from the local pool.  With all these things it also brings us warm nights on the porch with loved ones. The magic of star gazing on blankets up  in the hills is always fun.   You also get outdoor cocktail parties with friends.  Then theres the barbeques with family that can't be missed.   Make sure each one of these events you have the right foot wear.  Come on down to High Stepping we will get you started off on the right foot.  Remember the best part of summer is right around the corner and we want you to look your best.

Getting it on!

You know exactly what I'm talking about.  We are hard wired for it, we love it.  We enjoy it with friends.  Of course I'm talking about trying on and wearing shoes. There are several methods for getting them on.  The partner method.  This is where you sit back and let someone else do the work.  You have to be soft and yielding if the partner is firm and rough.  You can also be the aggressor and slam that heel home if you've got a good fit.  There is also the solo method which is the most common but you may have need of tools to do it right.  Using a single hand slide the shoe up onto the foot with a slow methodical well practiced motion.  Using a shoe horn slip the back of the shoe over the heel and presto you've got foot wear.  We may not always be in the mood to get it on but it would be a rough day without wearing them. So throw on some Al Green, stretch a little and get down to our store will show you how to get it on the right way.  Check these Madden Girls out while your here they are a nice looking pair.

Thanks to some a creative and awesome dude in Denmark Lego's having been giving us a creative outlet for many years.  I'm not for growing up to fast, in fact I hope I don't hit adulthood until well into my 70's.  These shoes capture a era of youth and fun.  While these may not be the best shoes for the office, I can't think of anything funner than cruising around in a pair of lego heels.   Either way they are fun to look at, make a great conversation piece and all in all are fairly aesthetically pleasing.  The point is you can wear whatever you want.   I'm not suggesting that you go out and buy a gas mask and a packet of glitter to put together a post modernistic interpretation of the banana hammock but whatever you choose to wear, make it your own.  This life is to short not to have fun.  So get come on down to the store at 1800 south state street and we will help you pick out your next craft project. 

The nibble effect and lunch with Michio Kaku

There is an indisputable force in the universe called the "nibble effect."  In recent years theoretical  physicist Michio Kaku discovered any extra money made would immediately have to be spent to fix something like colapsed plumbing or a giant laser part.  He also discovered if he were to spend any extra money he had on shoes then the effect was non existant.  You can help us fight the "nibble effect"  and get yourself a pair Steve Maddens.  I'm sorry I don't make the rules of the universe, Michio Kaku does.  Of course I'm only kidding but these really are a good deal at 59.00,  Please feel free to come down to our store on 1800 south state street Orem.

Here kitty, kitty

If you want to walk the walk, and talk the talk, you gotta rock a pair of kitten heels.  This is the next big fashion trend that were seeing.  This is how the process works for going from the designer to your feet.  Designers come up with an idea then give that rough outline to the manufacturer.  Then they go through a ton of work to get it made. It hits a fashion show or is debut's somewhere fancy, based on the response it's either made or thrown to wolves. The shoe then is sent out to celebrities and the like.  They wear them and it becomes a popular trend.  Right now the kitten heel come back, is floating between manufacture and the fancy place.  So bust out the champagne we've got a trend brewing that is both comfortable and fashionable.  Thanks Audrey.

Holiday Footwear

We come again to that time of year when the grill is hot, the days are long and the evenings are filled with the smell of honey suckle.  This is a magic time of year that makes the long cold nights of winter seem like a distant dream.  About the only thing that can ruin it for you is your drunk uncle Larry.  He's the guy who lights off the fireworks without telling anyone or caring about the whole safe distance idea. To save your feet from almost certain doom I recommend the Steve Madden Troopa's boot. A very hip chic boot that looks great with a summer dress or cargo shorts.  Elegant lines and easy zip side set this pair off. Very versitle and easy to wear camping, hiking or hitting the summer sales.  Most importantly for that big holiday where fireburns are a real threat.   Come on down to the store and we will hook you up with the must have boot this season.
