London Underground Shoes Giveaway

posted by: Shomore in Shoe Contests on April 21st, 2008

Got the Monday morning blues? Well, ShoeBlog has just the thing to cheer you up. We’re excited because we have two back-to-back contests for you this month.

Our first giveaway is the Bread N’ Honey shoe by a new brand called London Underground, which launch in Fall 2007. These triple buckle mary-jane shoes are a neutral putty color that pairs well with jeans. Can’t you imagine going to a rock concert in these? The decorated, printed stacked heel is also spot on with this season’s trend of decorated heels except they aren’t razor sharp stilletos that will give you intense pain at the end of the day. The winner of our latest giveaway will receive the Bread N’ Honey, which retails for $100, in their size.


Before I go into contest entry details, I thought it would be fun to mention some of the subtle originals of the shoe, which is by designer Paul Kaufman. During a meetup with Paul and the London Underground team (Hi Tamara!) at WSA I discovered the brand was named after the London underground transportation system. What’s even more interesting is the purpose of the raven and brass hardware resembling diamonds or jewels on all the shoes. In London, ravens protect the Tower of London and the crown jewels. According to legend, if the ravens ever left, Britain and the monarchy would fall. Similiarly, the raven logo on London Underground is meant to protect the shoes and the jeweled hardware. Didn’t think you would get a history lesson with this post, did ya?

Okay, by now you’re itching to enter this contest. It’s pretty simple, actually. Just submit a comment to this blog post by midnight PST on Sunday April 27 Monday April 28th (due to clarification on international entries). Good luck!

    I've always loved London Undergrounds! I bought a pair like ten years ago, when they had the style off shoes that kinda rivalled the Doc Marten style, and they held up forever. They since have kinda disappeared from the map since then until I came upon their website so….Glad to see that you guys are alive and kickin! I'd LOVE to win!

    I am a shoe fiend, and let's just say that when I discovered your shoes at an indie store (less than a mile from me, no less), London Underground Shoes moved to the top of my list in "Fabulous, comfortable, hip shoes that EVERY girl should own."

    I'd love to win, and would wear the new BNHs with a big smile on top of my already smiling face. :)

    Hi! I'm a shoe writer too (check out the link) and I <3 your newsletter. However, I have a lack of funds as most student writer's do and NEED to spruce up my shoe wardrobe. What kind of shoe blogger would I be wearing last seasons wedges this summer? Take care ;)

  39. April 21, 2008 at 11:23 pm, Naomi said:

    wow, those are super cute! Perfect to replace my favorite heeled mary janes which really do need to go bye bye…

  41. April 21, 2008 at 9:17 pm, Material Girl said:

    Great blog! Great shoes! My favorite part is the heel decorations. Or maybe it's the triple buckles. Or the color. I love everything about these shoes.

  42. April 21, 2008 at 3:01 pm, Katie C. said:

    OK, those shoes are amazing! They are so cute and I want them! (if I don't win, I may just end up buying them myself!)

    I always thought it was sort of a cheat to clip the Tower ravens' wings to keep them from leaving!
