What does the wonderful world of shoes bring us this week and for this first day of fall?
How about some tips for staying fashion forward as we head into cool weather. The Winnipeg Sun certainly knows their target audience, up in cold Canada, but this is applicable advice to any of us who live in places where winter gets chilly.
I feel like this next one should somehow be the punchline of a joke. What did Imelda Marcos’s doctor tell her to do? Buy more shoes!

And that wraps up the interesting happenings in shoe news this week. Stay tuned. Same shoe time. Same shoe channel.
