Review: Tall Boots and a discount code for anything

December 8, 2009

century-tall-bootI used to live in Arizona, and loved that you can wear sandals all year round. Those days are gone. I have been wanting some tall boots to wear with dresses, so my legs don’t freeze.

I bought these for $34.99 last week (although the price has now gone up).

Summary:

Pros: Calf room is decent. I was worried because mine are a bit thick and they were out of the “full calf” sizes. I ordered the “average calf” size and they fit fine.

Cons: Not super comfortable, and the fake leather looks a bit fake. Go figure.

Verdict: Keeping them. They were super cheap, and I will mainly wear them to church, where I sit a lot so comfort isn’t a huge issue. Just checked back tonight and their real leather boots are on sale for $64.99, down from $130.If you want either style (or anything else at JCPenney) you can use the code NICE4U at checkout to save $10 on almost any order that is $10 or more.

Show off your skis!

September 26, 2009

zappos-lassenLet’s face it, with height often come big feet. I’ve been skiing around on my size 11’s since junior high. I might even be 11 1/2 after having all these blasted babies. (Add that to the list of things they owe me for.)

Big shoes have gotten much easier to find than they used to be. One of my favorite online shops is Zappos. I first heard of it a couple years ago, in a news story featuring their unconventional work environment and customer service. They really do rock!

They carry every brand & style imaginable, and sizes up to 13. Their website is very user-friendly. Unfortunately they are not the cheapest store. But for hard-to-find things (like tall clothes & big shoes), I have to figure my time into the cost. Free shipping in both directions means I can order a dozen or more pairs of shoes without hesitation, and return as many as I want. Within a year no less. That’s right, not a month but a YEAR! And if it saves me from trucking all over town (including time & money for gas and babysitting), it is worth it.
