Post apocalyptic footwear

There may come a day in our lives where we regrettably survive the apocalypse.  It might come from global warming, zombies or some other made up disaster but it will happen.  So while most people will be scampering around looking for food we will be more concerned with footwear.  I have a couple of obvious choices for what I want.  You might think that a good sturdy boot, built for durability and comfort would be a good option but your wrong.  I'm going with the Steve Madden Craizie's.    I can get big strong men and a few women to do anything I want while wearing these.  That beats a good pair of  boots any day.  Oh and they are all leather so they should last till the next inevitable Apocalypse.

Fall into fashion

We shortly leave behind the warm weather and trade our shorts for shawls.  Don't be worried though fall is one of the best times of year for shopping.  The trend this fall is simple Grey's are big, skinny jeans are fading and fading jeans are coming back big time.  Look for neon's as in "80's good god I can't believe there back" neon's.  Then come pick up some sexy boots by Steve Madden because they are the hottest thing going this fall. We have them in brown as well for 75.00 regularly 109.00 in bigger stores that we won't mention.  So get in here and get your fall fashion Here.

Origins of Labor Day

Contrary to popular belief the origins of Labor Day do not begin observance on September 5th 1882 after members of the New York Labor Unions were killed by Military  No Labor day goes much further back to the time of Pharohs and Sphinxes.  It all began according to ancient astronaut theorists during the construction of the sphinx. The sphinx was built over 10,000 years ago by the Steve Maddeions a race of sentient alien beings.  They had come to earth to locate patent leather which has been used in interrsteller travel for millions of years. While they were here they thought it would be funny to build a half lion half man statue to confuse people for thousands of years.  During the construction a few thousand Egyptians were borrowed from nearby city's to assist the Steve Maddeions with the more labor intensive portions of construction.  In exchange for their labor the aliens taught man about the importance of patent leather and the biochemical properties that would make it possible for man to one day use interstellar travel.  Well man not quite understanding what the hell they were talking about thought that the patent leather would make for some really nice shoes and they were right.  The first pair was given to the aliens who found them to be aesthetically pleasing so they gave everyone the day off.  The first Labor Day...  Flash forward 10,000 years in honor of these brave and well rested Egyptians we have a copy of that first aesthetically pleasing pair of black patent leather pumps named for the aliens that once graced our planet.  They are Steve Maddens and we sell them for a mere 49.00 regularly 89.00.  Come in today and own a piece of history folks.

Trend Setting

We spent 3 days wandering the trade show last week looking at the newest and hottest fashions.  This is a brief run down of what I think will be hot in the coming year.  First wedges are not going anywhere for sometime what has changed is that daring looks that would normally be saved for sci if TV movie monsters are actually leaning towards the normal.  So we will continue to stick with the classics chunky heel and gladiatorial wedges like these from Blowfish.

In the coming months you can expect us to have many more Steve Maddens knee high boots and the classic pumps. Minnetonka has allowed us to carry the new red version moccasin coming soon. Like these except in red. Minnetonka was the fastest growing company last year and their sheepskin boots are hot commodity already in NYC and LA. You can get them here first because we already saw it coming.

 











These were are hottest seller this summer but the navy and white espadril flats were just as present in the new collections of some of the big names in fashion.  So we will continue to carry our classic Navy and White flats from blowfish in a closed toe form.

We would also like to thank everyone for their contributions to the direction what we will carry in the coming months.

I like um' chunky

Tactile differentiation is paramount when it comes to what we see and feel.  Often times what we find pleasing to the eye may not necessarily be pleasing to the touch. Lava for example comes in a multitude of colors shapes and sizes all more beautiful than the next but I doubt very much that it would feel very good on our hands. The same is true regarding cheap high heels while some of them can look spectacular they may also not be made well. They can hurt our feet in ways most mid evil torture practitioners could not even begin to fathom.  Our very nature has established us as creatures of of comfort.   Creatures that enjoy wearing comfortable, breathable clothing that keeps us in that does not limit our movements.  It's this that brings me to the whole point of this particular blog.  Wedges and heels with a little chunkiness to them are extremely comfortable and give the appearance of a slimmer ankle.  They go with everything from jeans to a summer dress.  Basically they look great with out causing you discomfort and really that's what it's all about.

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.

Confidence from the ground up.

When we step out the door each day we have the option of holding our heads up high and strutting through the day with confidence or we can push through the door with an air of lackadaisical reluctance.  I prefer to make a good start by throwing on a great pair of shoes and to know that I have a firm foundation below confident strutting self.  Nothing can quite make a good day like a new pair of shoes that you know you look good in.  So come on down to High Stepping will get you started off on the right foot.
