Going Once, Going Twice… Soles Sold!
Do have Blahnik taste on a Wal-Mart budget?
If The Shoe Doesn’t Fit, the auction site for shoe lovers, was created to remedy that problem… and so much more. This is a new online auction site designed to help shoe lovers buy and sell fabulous shoes without having to wade through other merchandise. It provides individuals and businesses with a simplified, low cost solution to selling shoes online.
The site is tailored to people who love shoes and everything that goes along with them. If The Shoe Doesn’t Fit has categories for shoes and all shoe-related items: Footwear that would satisfy everyone including the funky fashionista, the star athlete, and even the shopper who wears the unusual size shoe. Sellers can offer shoe supplies and accessories as well; shoe clips, and laces, and polish, oh my!
Buying and selling shoes at online auction sites is nothing new, but an auction site that sells ONLY shoes is!! Forget plowing through UFO detectors and shrunken heads (yes, those things have actually been auctioned off online!). There are no distractions to take away from the focus on shoes and shoe accessories on If The Shoe Doesn’t Fit. Distractions on other sites may mean spending more money! No need to worry about stumbling upon a digital camera or a new phone when the desire is for a pair of Uggs.
If The Shoe Doesn’t Fit was designed to simplify life for the online seller and their business. The fee to list shoes for sale on the site is $1.00…that’s it. Pay a dollar, post the shoes. Sell the shoes, keep the money. There are no final value fees, no fees for photos, bolded headlines, highlights or gallery listings. It’s simple and affordable.
The site is ideal, easy enough and within the means of the casual seller; there’s even a video to walk new sellers through a listing step-by-step How to List Shoes. Perfect for the gal who runs out of space in her closet but can’t bear the thought of throwing away her forgotten footwear; she can make some money and buy new shoes! She can spend a dollar at McDonald’s and get two apple pies, or she can spend a dollar on If The Shoe Doesn’t Fit and turn enough profit to buy two pairs of candy apple peep-toe pumps instead.
Different and unique is the opportunity to swap shoes on the same site. Without ever having to leave the comfort of home or step out of pajamas, shoe lovers can connect with people who share their sense of style and shoe size. And listing shoes for swaps is FREE!
The site’s quick and easy registration process is a step in the right direction for shoe shoppers and shoe sellers. To sell, swap or shop for shoes, If The Shoe Doesn’t Fit is the perfect place!

NYmag.com published this today … Tamara Mellon Might Sell Jimmy Choo? Well grab your checkbook … you could own your own footwear and handbag, shoe lover!
Photo: Dave M. Benett/Getty ImagesTamara Mellon is considering selling Jimmy Choo, which is worth around £500 million, or roughly $800 million. The former fashion editor, who is president and CEO of the company, is “sounding out investment banks about ’strategic options’ for the business,” according to the Telegraph. Since she owns one-fifth of it, she could stand to bank up to $160 million from the sale. According to the Telegraph, “The company’s shareholders may appoint an adviser to help work on a ’strategic review’ for the sale,” set to possibly happen by the end of the summer.

(Dallas, Texas) – May 6th, 2010 – shuzsociety™, an international online magazine for women who love designer shoes, will be awarding their 100th pair of shoes to a lucky winner in the May 14th “fab friday” giveaway! “When we introduced the ‘fab friday’ Designer Shoe Giveaway promotion to footwear designers as a unique way to feature their brand and a style from their collection, we underestimated the impact it would have on shoe lovers from around the world” noted Joni Marshall Floyd, shuzsociety co-founder. “It’s incredibly rewarding to present footwear lovers from all walks of life with a free pair of designer shoes. The saying ‘one shoe can change your life’ speaks volumes for the many souls we’ve touched,” added shuzsociety co-founder Cindy Marshall.
This was life changing for one early winner, “I signed up on shuzsociety.com about three years ago to learn more about shoe designers and the latest styles,” said Rebecca Andrews from North Carolina. “I registered as a member on Monday and that Friday, I won the “fab friday” giveaway, Pour la Victoire’s Francoise ankle booties. I was ecstatic! This brand seemed like something perfect for the boutique I managed, SoHo Shoes in Raleigh. So, I convinced the owner to bring them into the store and three years later I’m doing what I love, selling shoes to retailers and as luck would have it, I finally got to thank the man who gave away those boots, the owner of Pour la Victoire Studio, Jay Adoni, who is now, also, my boss!”
The excitement of winning a fabulous pair of shoes is international. A winner from London, England wrote “Oh my gosh !!! I had to keep reading your email over & over because I have never won anything in my whole life and when I saw the “naked lunch” Velvet Angels shoes you had in the competition..my tongue literally fell out of my face… I had to have them !!!! Thank u so much for making a delicate little brit so happy today !!!”
On Friday, May 14, 2010, shuzsociety will announce their 100th “fab friday” winner, bringing the total retail value of shoes and giveaways awarded to more than $42,000. Los Angeles-based designer Calleen Cordero will handcraft an exquisite pair of “Orna” heels for the special recipient, a retail value of $639. New York City jewelry designer, Yosef H, will gift the winner with a one-of-a-kind python bracelet that retails for $168.
