A Shoe Plea
Posted on September 27th, 2008 by twinkletoes under Boots, General, I really love my shoe, Michael Kors Shoes, Shoe Advice, ZapposOk folks, in the midst of fashion week madness (we’re off to Paris next) I am going to interrupt with a personal plea for a little help in the shoe department.
This is the KORS by Michael Kors Brink Boot:
They are available in very limited sizes on bluefly.com in black and brown for $237 or 6pm for $195, a significant reduction from their original price of $395. These are my ideal winter boots. I absolutely love them and want to take them home with me and call them my very own. Unfortunately, I have not been able to find them in my size. They are actually from last year’s line of winter boots a la Lady Kors, so they are not easy to track down and a 9 or 9.5 has been completely unfindable.
So here is my plea: if you find them online or are in the greater NY area or even the greater San Francisco area (I’ll be there at the beginning of October) and your eagle eye spots these in black in a 9 or a 9.5, TELL ME! I know you shoe-lovers have a lot of secret hunting grounds that the average person does not know about. I am counting on you! (P.S. these boots run small, so if you do decide to pick up the remaining ones on Bluefly, be aware.)
If this post has given you an unsatisfied longing similar to mine, here is this year’s version of the boot, the Breck, also KORS by Michael Kors:

These are widely available at $425 (and unfortunately not on sale yet) in black leather, brown leather, and black patent. These are definitely awesome boots and would probably much more practical for the New York winter, but I never was a particularly practical girl.
Thanks in advance loyal shoeblog readers!

I’m in the Westchester area so if I run across them, I’ll let you know.
Did you see if there’s an outlet at Woodbury Common? I recently found some Gucci boots I had bought at the boutique last winter, on sale at the Gucci outlet in a different colour, but they didn’t have my size. They gave me the numbers for all their boutiques and I was able to have them shipped.
Another idea is maybe try consignment shops? Since they are from last season you may find them that way — all the consignment shops around here have their fall/ winter stuff out already. My fav consignment shop actually has a sale on now, and I’m jonesing to get there before all the goodies are gone!
Cheers!

Hi,
I’m the webmaster for Sous le Lit Shoes and Accessories (www.souslelit.com). We just got a boot in that really reminds me of the one you are looking for. Ours is made by Penny Loves Kenny and it is called “Grand”. It comes in black and it has zippers on both sides so it’s super easy to get into. It has just 1/2 inch heel as well and the shaft is 15 1/2 inches. We should have it on the website within the next couple of days. I know it’s not the exact boot you were looking for but wanted to let you know about Sous le Lit Shoes and Accessories! Good luck with your boot search.

Hello,
Just your luck…You should stop by the Off Saks at Jersey Gardens in Elizabeth, NJ. I was there last night and they have the boots + if you receive their coupons in the mail you can take an additional 30% off…if not one of the sales ladies was handing out a coupon. Good Luck!:)
