			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The air may be icy and the tree limbs bare, but daylight has once again started to stretch out, which means two things: 1) Spring is just around the corner; and 2) We need to make space in the warehouse for all the warm-weather styles about to arrive! The answer? <a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/onSale.asp">Ped&#8217;s wonderful Winter Sale</a>, of course!</p>
<p>We clean house, and you clean up! What could be better? Those boots you&#8217;ve been pining for since August now have a price to warm your spirit (and tootsies) during winter&#8217;s chilly days! Here are just a few of the temptations:</p>
<p>You&#8217;ve probably noticed blue is one of the IT colors this season. We&#8217;re especially fond of it in <a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/accessoire/accessoire.asp?productLineID=1&amp;vendorID=54&amp;productID=1356&amp;colorID=2463">Accessoire&#8217;s Martiza</a>:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/accessoire/accessoire.asp?productLineID=1&amp;vendorID=54&amp;productID=1356&amp;colorID=2463"><img src="http://www.pedshoes.com/images/colors/2463/main.jpg" alt="" /></a></p>
<p>The classic oxford gets extra oomph from a wedge heel, which also happens to be ultra comfortable! And, gals, three words: Blue. Suede. Shoes! Totally rockin&#8217; at <span style="color: #800000;"><span style="text-decoration: line-through;">$328</span></span>, the <a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/accessoire/accessoire.asp?productLineID=1&amp;vendorID=54&amp;productID=1356&amp;colorID=2463">Martiza</a> brings down the house at <span style="color: #ff00ff;">$199</span>!</p>
<p>The other must-have color this year is grey, which Cydwoq crafts into a stellar low boot, aptly named <a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/cydwoq_classic/cydwoq_classic.asp?productLineID=1&amp;vendorID=36&amp;productID=1336&amp;colorID=2436">the Vision</a>:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/cydwoq_classic/cydwoq_classic.asp?productLineID=1&amp;vendorID=36&amp;productID=1336&amp;colorID=2436"><img src="http://www.pedshoes.com/images/colors/2436/main.jpg" alt="" /></a></p>
<p>A little vintage, with its cool button-up closure, a bit modern rocker chick, and a whole lot chic, comfortable, and go-with-everything, the Vision will wind up on your feet every day! Sweet at <span style="color: #800000;"><span style="text-decoration: line-through;">$342</span></span>, it&#8217;s utterly delectable at <span style="color: #ff00ff;">$268<span style="color: #000000;">!</span></span></p>
<p>Needless to say, black never goes out of style. But it certainly does get amped up in <a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/images/colors/2455/main.jpg">Chie Mihara&#8217;s Maison</a>:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/images/colors/2455/main.jpg"><img src="http://www.pedshoes.com/images/colors/2455/main.jpg" alt="" /></a></p>
<p>Oooh-la-la, what a hot heeled number—you will leave a trail of sparks in your wake wherever you walk! Saucy at <span style="color: #800000;"><span style="text-decoration: line-through;">$578</span></span>, its sex appeal is irresistible at <span style="color: #ff00ff;">$289</span>!</p>
<p>Another absolutely to-die-for boot is <a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/vic_matie/vic_matie.asp?productLineID=1&amp;vendorID=61&amp;productID=1354&amp;colorID=2461">Vic Matie&#8217;s Olivia Boot</a>:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/vic_matie/vic_matie.asp?productLineID=1&amp;vendorID=61&amp;productID=1354&amp;colorID=2461"><img src="http://www.pedshoes.com/images/colors/2461/main.jpg" alt="" /></a></p>
<p>The leather workmanship is truly stunning! (The Italians do know a thing or two about crafting fabulous footwear!) Worth every penny at <span style="color: #800000;"><span style="text-decoration: line-through;">$648</span></span>, this masterpiece of a boot is a veritable steal at <span style="color: #ff00ff;">$299</span>! (You clever art thief!)</p>
<p>Another one of our favorite tall boots this season is <a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/trippen_nouveau/trippen_nouveau.asp?n=Trippen+Nightingale&amp;d=1.45.1382.2536">Trippen&#8217;s Nightingale</a>:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/trippen_nouveau/trippen_nouveau.asp?n=Trippen+Nightingale&amp;d=1.45.1382.2536"><img src="http://www.pedshoes.com/images/colors/2536/main.jpg" alt="" /></a></p>
<p>The wine color of the supple nubuck is luscious! Plus, we&#8217;re wild about the red inside zipper! Trippen is always so good at fun and funky details! A treat at <span style="color: #800000;"><span style="text-decoration: line-through;">$448</span></span>, it&#8217;s mana from heaven for your feet at <span style="color: #ff00ff;">$348</span>!</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re looking for something dressier and perhaps a tad more understated, the answer is Coclico&#8217;s fabulous <a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/coclico/coclico.asp?n=Coclico+Beckett+Mary+Jane&amp;d=1.39.1415.2616">Beckett Mary Jane</a>:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/coclico/coclico.asp?n=Coclico+Beckett+Mary+Jane&amp;d=1.39.1415.2616"><img src="http://www.pedshoes.com/images/colors/2616/main.jpg" alt="" /></a></p>
<p>The perfect shoe for all occasions, the Beckett may be quiet, but it still exudes style for miles! Wonderful at <span style="color: #800000;"><span style="text-decoration: line-through;">$338</span></span>, it&#8217;s even prettier at <span style="color: #ff00ff;">$268</span>!</p>
<p>Of course, it wouldn&#8217;t be a spectacular sale without offering a break on everyone&#8217;s favorite, Fiorentini + Baker. Grab &#8216;em while they last, gals, because we&#8217;ve reduced the price of the ever-popular <a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/fiorentini_and_baker/fiorentini_and_baker.asp?productLineID=1&amp;vendorID=29&amp;productID=1209&amp;colorID=2591">Emmy Boot</a>:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/fiorentini_and_baker/fiorentini_and_baker.asp?productLineID=1&amp;vendorID=29&amp;productID=1209&amp;colorID=2591"><img src="http://www.pedshoes.com/images/colors/2591/main.jpg" alt="" /></a></p>
<p>So tough-girl chic, this boot will become the backbone of your wardrobe! Spectacular at <span style="color: #800000;"><span style="text-decoration: line-through;">$528</span></span>, it&#8217;s nothing short of WOW at <span style="color: #ff00ff;">$422</span>. (Wow, wow, wow!)</p>
<p>And those are just the beginning of the bargains! So jump over to <a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/onSale.asp">Ped&#8217;s Sale pages</a> for some sweet pickin&#8217;s guaranteed to provide a wintry pick-me-up! (And stay tuned for the garden of spring styles about to burst  into bloom!)</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Wow, after our big birthday week, we are tired but happy campers here at Ped HQ! We&#8217;re also enjoying full-flung fall, which puts us in the mood to wear boots! (Okay, honestly, we&#8217;re always in the mood to wear boots!)</p>
<p>This season offers a veritable boot feast, including quite a few sporting a new height that&#8217;s a smidge taller than an ankle boot but  stops short of mid-calf. These low boots are not only sassy to see, but they also offer versatility, playing well with both pants <em>and</em> skirts! Here are a few of our faves:</p>
<p>Almost everything Chie Mihara cooks up is a tasty treat, but her new <a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/chie_mihara/chie_mihara.asp?productLineID=1&amp;vendorID=2&amp;productID=1346&amp;colorID=2453">Jonathan Boot</a> is especially delicious:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/chie_mihara/chie_mihara.asp?productLineID=1&amp;vendorID=2&amp;productID=1346&amp;colorID=2453"><img src="http://www.pedshoes.com/images/colors/2453/main.jpg" alt="" /></a></p>
<p>Don&#8217;t just take our word for it. Here&#8217;s what a customer in Portland e-mailed: &#8220;Hey guys &#8211; just wanted to give you some feedback on the <a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/chie_mihara/chie_mihara.asp?productLineID=1&amp;vendorID=2&amp;productID=1346&amp;colorID=2453">Chie Mihara &#8220;Jonathan.&#8221; </a> They are unbelievably comfortable. I even fell asleep in my chair wearing them. Weird, I know, but they are awesome.&#8221;</p>
<p>Another terrific low boot with a heel is <a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/argila/argila.asp?productLineID=1&amp;vendorID=46&amp;productID=1344&amp;colorID=2451">Argila&#8217;s Suzanna Bootie</a>:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/argila/argila.asp?productLineID=1&amp;vendorID=46&amp;productID=1344&amp;colorID=2451"><img src="http://www.pedshoes.com/images/colors/2451/main.jpg" alt="" /></a></p>
<p>So streamlined and stylish, this boot gets oomph from the elephant grey shade of its soft leather. Grey is the IT color of the season! Plus, the simple cinch around the top that ties in back is the perfect detail.</p>
<p>Want to amp up the  va-va-va-voom? Then consider Cydwoq&#8217;s steamy <a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/cydwoq_vintage/cydwoq_vintage.asp?productLineID=1&amp;vendorID=35&amp;productID=1349&amp;colorID=2456">Texture</a> low boot:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/cydwoq_vintage/cydwoq_vintage.asp?productLineID=1&amp;vendorID=35&amp;productID=1349&amp;colorID=2456"><img src="http://www.pedshoes.com/images/colors/2456/main.jpg" alt="" /></a></p>
<p>Meow! From the faux-croc embossed leather to the perfectly cut snub nose to the sexy heel placed directly under your weight (makes all the difference in comfort), there&#8217;s everything to like about this little black boot. (Just like a LBD, everyone needs an LBB!)</p>
<p>But maybe you prefer a little less femme and a little more funk in your boot, in which case, <a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/cydwoq_classic/cydwoq_classic.asp?productLineID=1&amp;vendorID=36&amp;productID=1334&amp;colorID=2434#">Cydwoq&#8217;s Grinder</a> is waiting for you to lace it up!</p>
<p><a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/cydwoq_classic/cydwoq_classic.asp?productLineID=1&amp;vendorID=36&amp;productID=1334&amp;colorID=2434#"><img src="http://www.pedshoes.com/images/colors/2434/main.jpg" alt="" /></a></p>
<p>Low lace-ups are all the rage this season, especially those with an industrial edge! But the best thing? This boot&#8217;s style will never fade—it&#8217;s a classic. (Plus, the <a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/cydwoq_classic/cydwoq_classic.asp?productLineID=1&amp;vendorID=36&amp;productID=1334&amp;colorID=2434#">Grinder</a>&#8217;s luxe leather is cobalt blue—how cool is that?)</p>
<p>Of course, Fiorentini + Baker has several players in the low-boot game, including the fabulous <a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/fiorentini_and_baker/fiorentini_and_baker.asp?productLineID=1&amp;vendorID=29&amp;productID=1209&amp;colorID=2591">Emmy</a>!</p>
<p><img src="http://www.pedshoes.com/images/colors/2591/main.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>We can&#8217;t get enough of styles that combine sex appeal with tough-girl attitude! And we are WILD, wild, wild, about F+B&#8217;s new antiqued silver leather with natural edges! This boot + that leather = <em>Perfection</em>!</p>
<p>On the other hand, there is always something to be said for sleek minimalism, as exemplified by<a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/trippen_classic/trippen_classic.asp?n=Trippen+Deer+Bootie&amp;d=1.18.1361.2472"> Trippen&#8217;s Deer Bootie</a>:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/trippen_classic/trippen_classic.asp?n=Trippen+Deer+Bootie&amp;d=1.18.1361.2472"><img src="http://www.pedshoes.com/images/colors/2472/main.jpg" alt="" /></a></p>
<p>What a lean, green style machine! The supple leather is to die for, and the zipper on the outside gives this no-fuss boot just the right edge!</p>
<p>What&#8217;s that? You say you love green, but you want a low boot that can go from casual to dressy in a heartbeat? Fiorentini + Baker grants your wish with the luxe and luscious <a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/fiorentini_and_baker/fiorentini_and_baker.asp?productLineID=1&amp;vendorID=29&amp;productID=1339&amp;colorID=2441">Pia boot</a>:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/fiorentini_and_baker/fiorentini_and_baker.asp?productLineID=1&amp;vendorID=29&amp;productID=1339&amp;colorID=2441"><img src="http://www.pedshoes.com/images/colors/2441/main.jpg" alt="" /></a></p>
<p>Here&#8217;s what a Seattle customer had to say about this green suede stunner: &#8220;Ok, now you have really done it. This new <a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/fiorentini_and_baker/fiorentini_and_baker.asp?productLineID=1&amp;vendorID=29&amp;productID=1339&amp;colorID=2441">F&amp; B Pia boots</a> are the hottest thing I have ever seen. I can retire all other boots and shoes and die happily. They are so sexy, tough, simple, practical. My entire wardrobe has taken on a new personality. Yay!&#8221; Recommendations don&#8217;t get any better than that!</p>
<p>So, click on over to Ped&#8217;s main site and linger over all the low boots ready and waiting to liven up your fall! Going low will make your style high and mighty!</p>
<p>(By the way, this week&#8217;s Sweet Treat is one of the sexiest boots ever to stroll into the Ped warehouse: <a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/cydwoq_vintage/cydwoq_vintage.asp?productLineID=1&amp;vendorID=35&amp;productID=1252&amp;colorID=2286">Cydwoq&#8217;s Podium</a>! Simply click on &#8220;be sweet to your feet&#8221; in the upper right corner of any Ped page to land at the Podium with the magic code that will bring 20% off at checkout!)</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Here at Ped, we love organic materials—leather, wool, cotton, wood! Plus we we have a sentimental soft spot for clogs. But old-school clogs with wooden soles, are often, um, how shall we say, frumpy? And, as Ped fans know, &#8220;frumpy&#8221; and Ped simply do not mix!</p>
<p>Fortunately, some of our favorite designers have taken a new turn with wood, creating shoes, clogs, and sandals, where the only adjectives beginning with &#8220;f&#8221; that spring to mind are fantastic, fabulous, and FUN! Of course, each sole is meticulously cut, sculpted and sanded by hand for maximum comfort and pizazz! Behold a few of our woody favorites:</p>
<p>Proving a wood sole can be unbelievably chic, Ellen Verbeek&#8217;s <a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/ellen_verbeek/ellen_verbeek.asp?productLineID=1&amp;vendorID=58&amp;productID=1222&amp;colorID=2255">Caressa</a> is a total knockout!</p>
<p><a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/ellen_verbeek/ellen_verbeek.asp?productLineID=1&amp;vendorID=58&amp;productID=1222&amp;colorID=2255"><img src="http://www.pedshoes.com/images/colors/2255/main.jpg" alt="" /></a></p>
<p>Ellen Verbeek perfectly balances the elements—the mix of colors, the lacing in the back, and the cutout wooden wedge—for maximum impact! We especially love how the black strap circles through the cutout under the instep. So cool!</p>
<p>Another sexy heeled sandal with an ingenious design is <a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/coclico/coclico.asp?productLineID=1&amp;vendorID=39&amp;productID=1214&amp;colorID=2243">Coclico&#8217;s Lucifer</a>:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/coclico/coclico.asp?productLineID=1&amp;vendorID=39&amp;productID=1214&amp;colorID=2243"><img src="http://www.pedshoes.com/images/colors/2243/main.jpg" alt="" /></a></p>
<p>Notice how the bottom strap is actually a t-strap that ducks under the others to meet up with cutout straps at the ankle! For you gals who love adding a few inches to your height, the <a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/coclico/coclico.asp?productLineID=1&amp;vendorID=39&amp;productID=1214&amp;colorID=2243">Lucifer</a>&#8217;s 4.25&#8243; wooden heel lets you rise above the crowd, while the 1&#8243; wooden platform up front keeps the pitch comfortable at 3.25&#8243;.</p>
<p>Ped&#8217;s newest line, Vic Matie, takes things in a slightly different direction by combining wooden soles with leather-wrapped heels. A beautiful example is <a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/vic_matie/vic_matie.asp?productLineID=1&amp;vendorID=61&amp;productID=1227&amp;colorID=2261">the Allegra</a>:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/vic_matie/vic_matie.asp?productLineID=1&amp;vendorID=61&amp;productID=1227&amp;colorID=2261"><img src="http://www.pedshoes.com/images/colors/2261/main.jpg" alt="" /></a></p>
<p>So sophisticated but also versatile, thanks to <a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/vic_matie/vic_matie.asp?productLineID=1&amp;vendorID=61&amp;productID=1227&amp;colorID=2261#">the Allegra</a>&#8217;s slate grey color—an ideal summer neutral. The hand-sculpted and sanded wooden sole feels wonderful against your bare skin!</p>
<p>Experimenting with more traditional clog construction while creating fun, kick-around-town styles, Vialis has the hippest wood in the house this season. Check out <a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/vialis/vialis.asp?productLineID=1&amp;vendorID=59&amp;productID=1255&amp;colorID=2289">the Gabriela</a>:<br />
<a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/vialis/vialis.asp?productLineID=1&amp;vendorID=59&amp;productID=1255&amp;colorID=2289"><img src="http://www.pedshoes.com/images/colors/2289/main.jpg" alt="" /></a></p>
<p>The way this sandal clog&#8217;s straps weave in and out over the toe calls to mind a fisherman&#8217;s sandal—if a fisherman&#8217;s sandal were super-stylish and sassy! Another thing we love is the meticulous way the leather is stapled to the sole. Craftsmanship!</p>
<p>If you prefer nails to staples, then take a look at Vialis&#8217;s cute-as-can-be <a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/vialis/vialis.asp?productLineID=1&amp;vendorID=59&amp;productID=1254&amp;colorID=2288">Delfina</a> slingback:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/vialis/vialis.asp?productLineID=1&amp;vendorID=59&amp;productID=1254&amp;colorID=2288"><img src="http://www.pedshoes.com/images/colors/2288/main.jpg" alt="" /></a></p>
<p>So much to love from the sweet lacing to the &#8220;asphalto&#8221; suede (a stellar greyish brown with just a smidgeon of green) to the padded insole! The Delfina is ideal for wearing with summer skirts and walking shorts!</p>
<p>Of course, if you&#8217;re looking for the ultimate clog, one that pays homage to the classic style while taking it to a new level, then look no further than <a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/fiorentini_and_baker/fiorentini_and_baker.asp?productLineID=1&amp;vendorID=29&amp;productID=1212&amp;colorID=2241">Fiorentini + Baker&#8217;s Zilla Clog</a>:<br />
<a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/fiorentini_and_baker/fiorentini_and_baker.asp?productLineID=1&amp;vendorID=29&amp;productID=1212&amp;colorID=2241"><img src="http://www.pedshoes.com/images/colors/2241/main.jpg" alt="" /></a></p>
<p>Wow. Just wow. Ever fabulous, Fiorentini + Baker has taken the basic architecture of an old-school clog and made it irresistibly sexy and sophisticated! The <a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/fiorentini_and_baker/fiorentini_and_baker.asp?productLineID=1&amp;vendorID=29&amp;productID=1212&amp;colorID=2241">Zilla</a>&#8217;s brass studding is simply to die for! Wow.</p>
<p>As always, there are plenty more wood-soled beauties to admire at Ped&#8217;s main site! So, wouldn&#8217;t you like a wooden shoe?</p>
<p>(Psst, this week&#8217;s Sweet Treat is also as comfortable as they come: Trippen&#8217;s foot-loving Casanova!

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Let&#8217;s face it, Ped fans, wearing heels can give you a boost beyond just a few inches in height. Heels are authoritative and at the same time feminine and glamorous. Plus, they make a gal&#8217;s gams look fantastic! &#8220;Sure,&#8221; you say, &#8220;but who wants to teeter with every step when our lives demand we go, go, go?&#8221;</p>
<p>Enter the wedge! Solving the problem of comfort and balance, while still maintaining the advantage of wearing a heel, the wedge is the answer when you want your style to stand out <em>and</em> stand up. And do we ever have wedges that wow this season! Take a gander:</p>
<p>We all agree the French know a thing or two about looking chic, so, of course, Accessoire&#8217;s wedges are <em>magnifique</em>!, like this <a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/accessoire/accessoire.asp?productLineID=1&amp;vendorID=54&amp;productID=1270&amp;colorID=2341">Papaye</a>:<br />
<a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/accessoire/accessoire.asp?productLineID=1&amp;vendorID=54&amp;productID=1270&amp;colorID=2341"><img src="http://www.pedshoes.com/images/colors/2341/main.jpg" alt="" /></a></p>
<p>How stunning is this sexy peep-toe? How luscious is that tulip pink? Every time we look at <a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/accessoire/accessoire.asp?productLineID=1&amp;vendorID=54&amp;productID=1270&amp;colorID=2341">the Papaye</a>, we fall in love all over again! (And for those of you who insist on black, Ped also has <a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/accessoire/accessoire.asp?productLineID=1&amp;vendorID=54&amp;productID=1270&amp;colorID=2340">the Papaye in your favorite color.</a>)</p>
<p>Another winning wedge from Accessoire, <a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/accessoire/accessoire.asp?productLineID=1&amp;vendorID=54&amp;productID=1272&amp;colorID=2347">the Nairobi</a>, has a lower profile, but is no less beautiful:<br />
<a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/accessoire/accessoire.asp?productLineID=1&amp;vendorID=54&amp;productID=1272&amp;colorID=2347"><img src="http://www.pedshoes.com/images/colors/2347/main.jpg" alt="" /></a></p>
<p>If you&#8217;re looking for one sandal to do it all— walk the dog, attend a meeting, go out to dinner, and jet off for a weekend in Madrid— <a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/accessoire/accessoire.asp?productLineID=1&amp;vendorID=54&amp;productID=1272&amp;colorID=2347">the Nairobi</a> is up to the challenge! And your feet will thank you because they&#8217;ll be sooooo comfortable!</p>
<p>Speaking of Spain, both Argila and Chie Mihara, our favorite Spanish designers, have lovely wedges in Ped&#8217;s lineup. First up, <a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/argila/argila.asp?productLineID=1&amp;vendorID=46&amp;productID=960&amp;colorID=2221">Argila&#8217;s Eliana</a>:<br />
<a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/argila/argila.asp?productLineID=1&amp;vendorID=46&amp;productID=960&amp;colorID=2221"><img src="http://www.pedshoes.com/images/colors/2221/main.jpg" alt="" /></a></p>
<p>This go-with-everything wedge is back by popular demand, and it&#8217;s just as fresh and sexy as ever! We love the buckled wrap at the ankle, which is so of the moment!</p>
<p>As only she can, Chie Mihara brings rich color and femininity together in one glorious wedge she calls <a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/chie_mihara/chie_mihara.asp?productLineID=1&amp;vendorID=&amp;productID=1192&amp;colorID=2216">the Ruala</a>:<br />
<a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/chie_mihara/chie_mihara.asp?productLineID=1&amp;vendorID=&amp;productID=1192&amp;colorID=2216"><img src="http://www.pedshoes.com/images/colors/2216/main.jpg" alt="" /></a></p>
<p>Illustrating how less is more, this sandal&#8217;s minimal design is dazzling! Plus, the marine blue hue is so deep and delicious you&#8217;ll practically want to dive into it!</p>
<p>You say you want a funkier edge to your wedge? Then <a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/ellen_verbeek/ellen_verbeek.asp?productLineID=1&amp;vendorID=58&amp;productID=1223&amp;colorID=2257">Ellen Verbeek&#8217;s Elka</a> is right up your alley!<br />
<a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/ellen_verbeek/ellen_verbeek.asp?productLineID=1&amp;vendorID=58&amp;productID=1223&amp;colorID=2257"><img src="http://www.pedshoes.com/images/colors/2257/main.jpg" alt="" /></a></p>
<p>We are down for the count when it comes to this beautifully made shoe!!! Inspired by a bowling shoe, this lace-up peep-toe is striking! (Okay, yes, that was a bad pun—but a bad pun about a gorgeous sandal!) And Elka&#8217;s edgy wedge is wooden!</p>
<p>Of course, if it&#8217;s urban artiness you&#8217;re after, Trippen has just the ticket in <a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/trippen_nouveau/trippen_nouveau.asp?productLineID=1&amp;vendorID=45&amp;productID=1199&amp;colorID=2225">the Airy</a>!<br />
<a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/trippen_nouveau/trippen_nouveau.asp?productLineID=1&amp;vendorID=45&amp;productID=1199&amp;colorID=2225"><img src="http://www.pedshoes.com/images/colors/2225/main.jpg" alt="" /></a></p>
<p>The design is deceptively simple, but the bold cut of the straps and studding over the ankle make this sandal super hip and modern! Trippen&#8217;s t-shaped wedge sole, however, is what will win your comfort-loving devotion.</p>
<p>And there are lots more wedges to help you step up your style over at Ped&#8217;s main site! Slip one on and find out what it means to be well-heeled!</p>
<p>(By the way, this week&#8217;s Sweet Treat is also funk-a-licious: <a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/couple_of/couple_of.asp?productLineID=1&amp;vendorID=56&amp;productID=1215&amp;colorID=2244">Couple Of&#8217;s cutting-edge Zebra sandal</a>! Click &#8220;be sweet to your feet&#8221; in the upper right corner of any Ped page to land at the Zebra, with the discount code that will bring 20% off at checkout. You&#8217;re guaranteed to be all the buzz!)</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ped fans, you may remember last fall I returned from the European shoe shows all <a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/blog/index.php/chie-mihara/ped-setting-across-the-pond/2509/">excited about a new line I&#8217;d found for Ped: Vic Matié from Italy</a>. I was impressed that Vic Matié&#8217;s shoes are created start to finish in a small-town factory by a dedicated group of designers and craftsmen who work collaboratively to produce beautiful shoes of first-rate quality and first-rate comfort.</p>
<p>Well, good news, they&#8217;re finally here!!! And were they ever worth the wait! Behold the fabulousness of Vic Matié!</p>
<p><a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/vic_matie/vic_matie.asp?productLineID=1&amp;vendorID=61&amp;productID=1225&amp;colorID=2259"><img src="http://www.pedshoes.com/images/colors/2259/main.jpg" alt="" /></a></p>
<p>We immediately fell for the charms of the sexy <a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/vic_matie/vic_matie.asp?productLineID=1&amp;vendorID=61&amp;productID=1225&amp;colorID=2259">Belladonna</a> sandal! This season it&#8217;s all about the ankle, and this strap-and-buckle sandal will make the most of yours! Add in the 3.5&#8243; heel and the seductive zipper up the back, and you&#8217;ve got deadly style!</p>
<p>Sandal boots are another look we love—so modern and chic! <a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/vic_matie/vic_matie.asp?productLineID=1&amp;vendorID=61&amp;productID=1226&amp;colorID=2260">Vic Matié&#8217;s Luisa</a> is one of our favorites:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/vic_matie/vic_matie.asp?productLineID=1&amp;vendorID=61&amp;productID=1226&amp;colorID=2260"><img src="http://www.pedshoes.com/images/colors/2260/main.jpg" alt="" /></a></p>
<p>The contrast of the soft suede shaft (which feels wonderful against your skin) with the matte leather straps is so delicious! Pair the <a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/vic_matie/vic_matie.asp?productLineID=1&amp;vendorID=61&amp;productID=1226&amp;colorID=2260">Luisa</a> with a floaty feminine dress, and you&#8217;ll look like you just stepped off a European runway.</p>
<p>Another ultra-edgy flat sandal that will inspire shoe envy in everyone who sees you is <a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/vic_matie/vic_matie.asp?productLineID=1&amp;vendorID=61&amp;productID=1224&amp;colorID=2258">Vic Matie&#8217;s Elda</a>:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/vic_matie/vic_matie.asp?productLineID=1&amp;vendorID=61&amp;productID=1224&amp;colorID=2258"><img src="http://www.pedshoes.com/images/colors/2258/main.jpg" alt="" /></a></p>
<p>Composed of countless rolled-leather straps, all meticulously made, <a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/vic_matie/vic_matie.asp?productLineID=1&amp;vendorID=61&amp;productID=1224&amp;colorID=2258">the Elda</a> is unlike any other sandal you&#8217;ll see! So stunning and so comfortable—this zipped-back sandal&#8217;s leather sole molds to your individual foot with wear.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re looking for something a little girlier, perhaps with a wooden sole (another current trend we love), then feast your eyes on <a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/vic_matie/vic_matie.asp?productLineID=1&amp;vendorID=61&amp;productID=1227&amp;colorID=2261">the Allegra</a>:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/vic_matie/vic_matie.asp?productLineID=1&amp;vendorID=61&amp;productID=1227&amp;colorID=2261"><img src="http://www.pedshoes.com/images/colors/2261/main.jpg" alt="" /></a></p>
<p>We think it&#8217;s so cool how Vic Matié has combined a wooden sole with a beautifully contoured wrapped-leather heel! Every aspect of this sandal is gorgeous, from the silver rivets that attach the upper to the sole, to the thong that artfully laces the front section to the back, to the go-with everything slate-grey leather!</p>
<p>But if you&#8217;re in the mood to stop traffic—and we mean bring it to a screeching halt while drivers and pedestrians all rubberneck to get a better look at your cool shoes—then <a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/vic_matie/vic_matie.asp?productLineID=1&amp;vendorID=61&amp;productID=1233&amp;colorID=2266">Vic Matié&#8217;s Sienna</a> is the ticket!<br />
<a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/vic_matie/vic_matie.asp?productLineID=1&amp;vendorID=61&amp;productID=1233&amp;colorID=2266"><img src="http://www.pedshoes.com/images/colors/2266/main.jpg" alt="" /></a></p>
<p>This sandal is so devastatingly sexy that perhaps it should come with a warning label: &#8220;May cause cardiac arrest in those who see the wearer.&#8221; The wooden sole, the zipper up the back, the cage-like leather straps, and leather-wrapped heel—what a knockout combo!</p>
<p>Now you understand why I was so thrilled to add <a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/vic_matie/vic_matie.asp?productLineID=1&amp;vendorID=61">Vic Matié</a> to the Ped family—even if the inherent hotness of the styles raise the temperature in the warehouse by a few degrees! Summertime is going to be that much sweeter when you sashay through it in a pair of <a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/vic_matie/vic_matie.asp?productLineID=1&amp;vendorID=61">Vic Matié </a>sandals!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Crocuses are poking up, and daffodils are finally showing their sunny faces. Ah, spring! Welcome back!</p>
<p>Here at Ped, we love watching the steady rise of the mercury day after day. And nothing feels better than unsheathing our sock-bound feet and letting them take in the air! Needless to say, we&#8217;ve got all kinds of stylish ways to do just that—sandals and shoes that will carry you from the early days of spring right on through the sultry days of summer.</p>
<p>Here are just a few breezy ideas to get you started.</p>
<p>We realize  some of you may not be quite ready to bust out the sandals, and we know many Ped fans are loathe to leave behind your edgy oxfords. Happily, Argila has just the in-between thing:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/argila/argila.asp?productLineID=1&amp;vendorID=46&amp;productID=1197&amp;colorID=2222"><img src="http://www.pedshoes.com/images/colors/2222/main.jpg" alt="" /></a></p>
<p>Meet <a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/argila/argila.asp?productLineID=1&amp;vendorID=46&amp;productID=1197&amp;colorID=2222">the Sophia</a>! What a yummy treat: an oxford made from wonderfully soft leather that features air-conditioning right where it counts! As always, Argila adds exactly the right accents, like the fold-down lip at the back and the hand-cut wooden heel. Delicious!</p>
<p>Another laced lovely from Argila is the <a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/argila/argila.asp?productLineID=1&amp;vendorID=46&amp;productID=1198&amp;colorID=2223">Riley</a>, which lets your toes wiggle in the sun in the most stylish way!<br />
<a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/argila/argila.asp?productLineID=1&amp;vendorID=46&amp;productID=1198&amp;colorID=2223"><img src="http://www.pedshoes.com/images/colors/2223/main.jpg" alt="" /></a></p>
<p>In addition to the more obvious design notes that make this wooden-heeled sandal sing, the subtle rust topstitching on the toe straps is stellar against the cement-gray leather!</p>
<p>Coclico also has a winning wooden-heeled sandal that&#8217;s so sinfully hot they&#8217;ve called it <a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/coclico/coclico.asp?productLineID=1&amp;vendorID=39&amp;productID=1214&amp;colorID=2243">the Lucifer</a>:<br />
<a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/coclico/coclico.asp?productLineID=1&amp;vendorID=39&amp;productID=1214&amp;colorID=2243"><img src="http://www.pedshoes.com/images/colors/2243/main.jpg" alt="" /></a></p>
<p>Whoa! Don&#8217;t be surprised when people in your immediate vicinity start mopping their brows because this statuesque sandal is <em>sizzling</em>! Take a second to admire the ingenuity of the design. The t-strap ducks under three narrow straps arcing over the toe, before joining with several more parallel straps at the ankle. Now you&#8217;re cooking with gas!</p>
<p>Coclico has all kinds of ways of giving you a lift! One of our personal favorites at Ped is the new <a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/coclico/coclico.asp?productLineID=1&amp;vendorID=39&amp;productID=1213&amp;colorID=2242">Whoo</a>!<br />
<a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/coclico/coclico.asp?productLineID=1&amp;vendorID=39&amp;productID=1213&amp;colorID=2242"><img src="http://www.pedshoes.com/images/colors/2242/main.jpg" alt="" /></a></p>
<p>Standing on a lightweight cork platform, this easy suede slide is just the thing for kicking up your heels on a spring day! We are crazy about the airy cutouts and the to-die-for red brick color!</p>
<p>Did you perk up when we mentioned color? If so, then you are going to love what Couple Of is bringing to the table this season!<br />
<a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/couple_of/couple_of.asp?productLineID=1&amp;vendorID=56&amp;productID=1218&amp;colorID=2249"><img src="http://www.pedshoes.com/images/colors/2249/main.jpg" alt="" /></a></p>
<p>Does this sweet slip-on look familiar? It&#8217;s because it&#8217;s the heel-less version of Couple Of&#8217;s popular <a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/couple_of/couple_of.asp?productLineID=1&amp;vendorID=56&amp;productID=1063&amp;colorID=2247">Lily</a>, and, in fact, is called the <a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/couple_of/couple_of.asp?productLineID=1&amp;vendorID=56&amp;productID=1218&amp;colorID=2249">Lily Flat</a>! What could be fresher than skipping around town in a grass-green ballet flat?</p>
<p>But if your toes are begging for full exposure to the fresh air, then bask in the beauty of the sunniest sandal in the Ped warehouse, <a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/couple_of/couple_of.asp?productLineID=1&amp;vendorID=56&amp;productID=1216&amp;colorID=2246">Couple Of&#8217;s Paspas</a>:<br />
<a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/couple_of/couple_of.asp?productLineID=1&amp;vendorID=56&amp;productID=1216&amp;colorID=2246"><img src="http://www.pedshoes.com/images/colors/2246/main.jpg" alt="" /></a></p>
<p>What an instant pick-me-up! The design is ingeniously edgy, with the straps coming together into an architectural ridge that moves sinuously down the front of this comfortable flat. By the way, <a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/couple_of/couple_of.asp?productLineID=1&amp;vendorID=56&amp;productID=1216&amp;colorID=2245">the Paspas also comes in </a><a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/couple_of/couple_of.asp?productLineID=1&amp;vendorID=56&amp;productID=1216&amp;colorID=2245">black</a>!</p>
<p>And if it&#8217;s edge you&#8217;re after, then look no further than <a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/couple_of/couple_of.asp?productLineID=1&amp;vendorID=56&amp;productID=1215&amp;colorID=2244">Couple Of&#8217;s Zebra</a>:<br />
<a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/couple_of/couple_of.asp?productLineID=1&amp;vendorID=56&amp;productID=1215&amp;colorID=2244"><img src="http://www.pedshoes.com/images/colors/2244/main.jpg" alt="" /></a></p>
<p>It&#8217;s a gladiator sandal gone wild in the best possible way! Zebra-like cut-outs and slits accent the supple black leather exterior of this knockout, which is lined in cream-colored leather. When you step out in the <a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/couple_of/couple_of.asp?productLineID=1&amp;vendorID=56&amp;productID=1215&amp;colorID=2244">Zebra</a>, you&#8217;ll be the envy of shoe-lovers everywhere you walk.</p>
<p>Is your interest piqued? Then click over to Ped&#8217;s main site to see the full range of new designs from <a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/argila/argila.asp?productLineID=1&amp;vendorID=46">Argila</a>, <a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/coclico/coclico.asp?productLineID=1&amp;vendorID=39">Coclico</a>, and <a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/couple_of/couple_of.asp?productLineID=1&amp;vendorID=56">Couple O</a>f, all guaranteed to heat up your style for the hot days ahead!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ped fans, I&#8217;m in Milan, Italy, this week, finding all kinds of wonders to warm up next fall and winter. In the meantime, fresh Italian delights for spring and summer are the latest things to arrive in the Ped warehouse. And when we say &#8220;Italian,&#8221; we mean the line you love: <a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/fiorentini_and_baker/fiorentini_and_baker.asp?productLineID=1&amp;vendorID=29">Fiorentini + Baker</a>!</p>
<p>As F+B addicts know, once you indulge in a pair of these beautifully handcrafted leather boots, shoes, or sandals, nothing else will do. F+B&#8217;s quality, comfort, and timeless beauty are simply <em>magnifico </em>(as the many celebrities who wear this line will attest)!</p>
<p>So join us for a brief Italian lesson! After seeing Fiorentini + Baker&#8217;s latest designs, we suspect you&#8217;ll want to become fluent in F+B style.</p>
<p>One thing we adore about F+B is their understanding that less is often more, a point made clear in the knockout <a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/fiorentini_and_baker/fiorentini_and_baker.asp?productLineID=1&amp;vendorID=29&amp;productID=1208&amp;colorID=2236">Elgin Boot</a>:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/fiorentini_and_baker/fiorentini_and_baker.asp?productLineID=1&amp;vendorID=29&amp;productID=1208&amp;colorID=2236"><img src="http://www.pedshoes.com/images/colors/2236/main.jpg" alt="" /></a></p>
<p>The clean lines and soft scrunch-a-bility of this minimal mid-calf boot make it <em>perfect </em>for pairing with floaty spring skirts. Of course, it also looks great with jeans! The <a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/fiorentini_and_baker/fiorentini_and_baker.asp?productLineID=1&amp;vendorID=29&amp;productID=1208&amp;colorID=2236">mattone brick leather version</a> is so rich, but we also offer the <a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/fiorentini_and_baker/fiorentini_and_baker.asp?productLineID=1&amp;vendorID=29&amp;productID=1208&amp;colorID=2237">Elgin in a delicious mocha ice suede</a>! Good luck choosing between the two! (Hint: either one is the right choice!)</p>
<p>Some of you Ped fans have begged us to carry the two-buckle cousin of F+B&#8217;s popular <a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/fiorentini_and_baker/fiorentini_and_baker.asp?productLineID=1&amp;vendorID=29&amp;productID=140&amp;colorID=235">Eternity Boot</a>. Well, consider your wish granted! Behold the <a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/fiorentini_and_baker/fiorentini_and_baker.asp?productLineID=1&amp;vendorID=29&amp;productID=1209&amp;colorID=2250">Emmy, also know as style #713</a>:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/fiorentini_and_baker/fiorentini_and_baker.asp?productLineID=1&amp;vendorID=29&amp;productID=1209&amp;colorID=2250"><img src="http://www.pedshoes.com/images/colors/2250/main.jpg" alt="" /></a></p>
<p>We are woozy with love for F+B&#8217;s new turquoise leather! It is to die for—so unusual and yet it still works with lots of other colors. (Ped&#8217;s Laura went down for the count when she saw it.) Of course, if you&#8217;re a gal who prefers all things noir, we&#8217;ve got the <a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/fiorentini_and_baker/fiorentini_and_baker.asp?productLineID=1&amp;vendorID=29&amp;productID=1209&amp;colorID=2238">Emmy in black</a>, as well!</p>
<p>Want a few more flourishes? And perhaps a bit of textural contrast? Fiorentini + Baker&#8217;s <a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/blog/wp-admin/post.php?action=edit&amp;post=2958&amp;message=10">Ebbi</a> has your name on it:<br />
<a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/blog/wp-admin/post.php?action=edit&amp;post=2958&amp;message=10"><img src="http://www.pedshoes.com/images/colors/2235/main.jpg" alt="" /></a></p>
<p>You&#8217;ll give the people following you something to talk about when you saunter down the street in <a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/blog/wp-admin/post.php?action=edit&amp;post=2958&amp;message=10">the Ebbi </a>because the fold-over suede cuff laces in the back. And the raised seams that arc over the instep and encircle the ankle add further eye-popping interest!</p>
<p>If you like a well-heeled boot to boost your height, then feast your eyes on Fiorentini+Baker&#8217;s new <a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/fiorentini_and_baker/fiorentini_and_baker.asp?productLineID=1&amp;vendorID=29&amp;productID=1206&amp;colorID=2234">Bessi</a>:<br />
<a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/fiorentini_and_baker/fiorentini_and_baker.asp?productLineID=1&amp;vendorID=29&amp;productID=1206&amp;colorID=2234"><img src="http://www.pedshoes.com/images/colors/2234/main.jpg" alt="" /></a></p>
<p>The 3&#8243; stacked-leather heel gives this sexy boot a leg up, while an inside zip lets you breeze in and out in a flash. F+B&#8217;s bonsai green leather is a Ped favorite, and it looks especially fresh on the <a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/fiorentini_and_baker/fiorentini_and_baker.asp?productLineID=1&amp;vendorID=29&amp;productID=1206&amp;colorID=2234">Bessi</a>!</p>
<p>Another great heeled style from F+B is the take-no-prisoners <a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/fiorentini_and_baker/fiorentini_and_baker.asp?productLineID=1&amp;vendorID=29&amp;productID=1212&amp;colorID=2241">Zilla Clog</a>:<br />
<a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/fiorentini_and_baker/fiorentini_and_baker.asp?productLineID=1&amp;vendorID=29&amp;productID=1212&amp;colorID=2241"><img src="http://www.pedshoes.com/images/colors/2241/main.jpg" alt="" /></a></p>
<p>The hand-cut wooden sole features a 3.5&#8243; heel and a 1.5&#8243; platform under the ball of your foot. The brass studs that rim the collar and attach the luxe black leather upper to the sole are, in a word, <em>b</em><em>adass</em>! Who knew a clog could be this smokin&#8217; hot? (Somebody hand me a fan!)</p>
<p>When it&#8217;s the weather that&#8217;s hot, though, you may want to let your toes out to play. But you can still maintain your brass-studded style—just buckle up F+B&#8217;s <a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/fiorentini_and_baker/fiorentini_and_baker.asp?productLineID=1&amp;vendorID=29&amp;productID=1210&amp;colorID=2239">Tribo Sandal</a>!<br />
<a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/fiorentini_and_baker/fiorentini_and_baker.asp?productLineID=1&amp;vendorID=29&amp;productID=1210&amp;colorID=2239"><img src="http://www.pedshoes.com/images/colors/2239/main.jpg" alt="" /></a></p>
<p>Take a minute to admire the wonderful details of this easy-going yet dazzling beauty: the leather toe thong is rolled for comfort; the studded straps are leather-lined to be soft against your skin; and the leather sole is designed to mold to your foot with wear. Fiorentini + Baker does it all so well!</p>
<p>Another fantastic F+B sandal is <a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/fiorentini_and_baker/fiorentini_and_baker.asp?productLineID=1&amp;vendorID=29&amp;productID=1211&amp;colorID=2240">the Tulip</a>:<br />
<a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/fiorentini_and_baker/fiorentini_and_baker.asp?productLineID=1&amp;vendorID=29&amp;productID=1211&amp;colorID=2240"><img src="http://www.pedshoes.com/images/colors/2240/main.jpg" alt="" /></a></p>
<p>Crafted in our favorite rabbit-hued leather, this flat is both tough and girly, combining the edge of a gladiator sandal with petal-like cutouts that cascade down the front of the foot. What a way to go through spring and summer! Prepare to be the object of everyone&#8217;s sandal envy!</p>
<p>Of course, we have all of F+B&#8217;s classics over at <a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/fiorentini_and_baker/fiorentini_and_baker.asp?productLineID=1&amp;vendorID=29">Ped&#8217;s main site</a>. So let Fiorentini + Baker&#8217;s leatherwork and style seduce you—we know you&#8217;ll agree: That&#8217;s <em>amore</em>!</p>
<p>(By the way, this week&#8217;s &#8220;sweet treat&#8221; practically sings, &#8220;Spring!&#8221;: <a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/karin_wagner/karin_wagner.asp?productLineID=5&amp;vendorID=41&amp;productID=1024&amp;colorID=1871">Karin Wagner&#8217;s delightful Alps Brooch</a>. Simply click &#8220;be sweet to your feet&#8221; in the upper right corner of any Ped page, and you&#8217;ll arrive at the hand-felted Alps Brooch with the magic code that will bring 20% at checkout!)<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Here&#8217;s something that makes everyone at Ped HQ smile: boxes of new Chie MIhara styles arriving on our doorstep from Spain! We have such a good time admiring each design as we unpack Chie&#8217;s latest! After all, Chie Mihara exemplifies everything we love at Ped: a unique design sense, meticulous craftsmanship, and comfort without compromise.</p>
<p>Let us tantalize you with a taste of what Chie&#8217;s whipped up for the upcoming warm weather!</p>
<p>We know it&#8217;s still winter where many of you live, so we&#8217;ll start with a number you can wear right now—and keep wearing right through spring and summer: <a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/chie_mihara/chie_mihara.asp?productLineID=1&amp;vendorID=2&amp;productID=1187&amp;colorID=2209">Chie&#8217;s Lorensa</a>.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/chie_mihara/chie_mihara.asp?productLineID=1&amp;vendorID=2&amp;productID=1187&amp;colorID=2209"><img src="http://www.pedshoes.com/images/colors/2209/main.jpg" alt="" /></a></p>
<p>Honestly, this heeled oxford is in a class by itself! As usual, Chie gets the details just right, from the parallel lines of sinuous topstitching to the perforated leather that lets your tootsies breathe when the weather heats up.</p>
<p>Another new design that features beautiful topstitching and leatherwork is <a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/chie_mihara/chie_mihara.asp?productLineID=1&amp;vendorID=2&amp;productID=1189&amp;colorID=2211">the Fideua</a>:<br />
<a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/chie_mihara/chie_mihara.asp?productLineID=1&amp;vendorID=2&amp;productID=1189&amp;colorID=2211"><img src="http://www.pedshoes.com/images/colors/2211/main.jpg" alt="" /></a></p>
<p>The woven leather over the toe, contrasting stitching, and lacing are rather unusual ingredients to combine, but what a tasty dish they make! Plus, we love the navy blue color!</p>
<p>Chie is always so good with selecting the perfect hues! Our favorite style for sheer cheerfulness is the sunny-day <a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/chie_mihara/chie_mihara.asp?productLineID=1&amp;vendorID=2&amp;productID=1195&amp;colorID=2219">Yoisho</a>:<br />
<a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/chie_mihara/chie_mihara.asp?productLineID=1&amp;vendorID=2&amp;productID=1195&amp;colorID=2219"><img src="http://www.pedshoes.com/images/colors/2219/main.jpg" alt="" /></a><br />
What a great shade of yellow, and it works so well with the 1970s&#8217; retro vibe of this sandal. Buckling up the <a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/chie_mihara/chie_mihara.asp?productLineID=1&amp;vendorID=2&amp;productID=1195&amp;colorID=2219">Yoisho</a> will give you both a physical and an emotional boost!</p>
<p>Speaking of buckles, we decided to bring back the smoking-hot <a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/chie_mihara/chie_mihara.asp?productLineID=1&amp;vendorID=2&amp;productID=549&amp;colorID=1014">Bankok</a>, one of the sexiest styles Chie&#8217;s ever designed:<br />
<a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/chie_mihara/chie_mihara.asp?productLineID=1&amp;vendorID=2&amp;productID=549&amp;colorID=1014"><img src="http://www.pedshoes.com/images/colors/1014/main.jpg" alt="" /></a></p>
<p>The <a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/chie_mihara/chie_mihara.asp?productLineID=1&amp;vendorID=2&amp;productID=549&amp;colorID=1014">Bankok</a> is the very definition of &#8220;knockout&#8221;! When you strap on this badass beauty, you may want to carry a pocket fan to revive the people who can&#8217;t take the heat of your sizzling sauciness!</p>
<p>But maybe you prefer to go more girly with your flirtatious style. If so, join us in sighing over <a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/chie_mihara/chie_mihara.asp?productLineID=1&amp;vendorID=2&amp;productID=1190&amp;colorID=2214">Chie&#8217;s Osmo</a>:<br />
<a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/chie_mihara/chie_mihara.asp?productLineID=1&amp;vendorID=2&amp;productID=1190&amp;colorID=2214"><img src="http://www.pedshoes.com/images/colors/2214/main.jpg" alt="" /></a></p>
<p>In a word: DEVASTATING! It simply doesn&#8217;t get any more glamorous than this rosette-embellished, red suede t-strap! In the Rojo, you&#8217;re guaranteed to set hearts afire!</p>
<p>Some gals can pull off the Osmo on a daily basis, but if you want something a little more subdued for everyday wear, check out the <a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/chie_mihara/chie_mihara.asp?productLineID=1&amp;vendorID=2&amp;productID=1191&amp;colorID=2215">Chie Mihara Oyko</a>:<br />
<a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/chie_mihara/chie_mihara.asp?productLineID=1&amp;vendorID=2&amp;productID=1191&amp;colorID=2215"><img src="http://www.pedshoes.com/images/colors/2215/main.jpg" alt="" /></a></p>
<p>We love the richness of the whiskey-colored suede combined with the rich brown leather—so sophisticated. This gorgeous sandal is perfect for going from day wear to date wear!</p>
<p>Delicious, eh? And there are even more Chie Mihara styles to feast upon at Ped&#8217;s main site. But before you click over, watch this video to learn a little more about  Chie&#8217;s philosophy and design process. We promise it will make you even happier to have her shoes on your feet!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Sure, it&#8217;s still icy outside for many of you, but, Ped fans, before you know it, spring is going to bust out all over! But that doesn&#8217;t mean you have to relegate your boots to the back of the closet. Heck no! Boots, especially those of the ankle-height and mid-calf variety, are perfect for skipping from one season into the next.</p>
<p>With that in mind, here are a few nominees for what to wear when the buds are on the trees but it&#8217;s still too brisk to expose the toes.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/cydwoq_vintage/cydwoq_vintage.asp?productLineID=1&amp;vendorID=35&amp;productID=1035&amp;colorID=1892">Cydwoq&#8217;s Pi Bootie</a> is the perfect way to celebrate that last little bit of slush disappearing from the sidewalk!</p>
<p><a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/cydwoq_vintage/cydwoq_vintage.asp?productLineID=1&amp;vendorID=35&amp;productID=1035&amp;colorID=1892"><img src="http://www.pedshoes.com/images/colors/1892/main.jpg" alt="" /></a></p>
<p>The sexy way the leather wraps around the back of this boot is enough to make the temperature rise! And <a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/cydwoq_vintage/cydwoq_vintage.asp?productLineID=1&amp;vendorID=35&amp;productID=1035&amp;colorID=1892">the Pi</a> looks superlative with bare legs and a swingy skirt!</p>
<p>Another great heeled boot (that&#8217;s perhaps a little less &#8220;lady&#8221;) is <a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/cydwoq_vintage/cydwoq_vintage.asp?productLineID=1&amp;vendorID=35&amp;productID=331&amp;colorID=1924">Cydwoq&#8217;s Artemis</a>:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/cydwoq_vintage/cydwoq_vintage.asp?productLineID=1&amp;vendorID=35&amp;productID=331&amp;colorID=1924"><img src="http://www.pedshoes.com/images/colors/1924/main.jpg" alt="" /></a></p>
<p>We love the retro feel of the buttoned closure combined with the modern square toe and hand-cut wooden heel. (And see what we mean about how terrific an ankle boot looks with a breezy skirt?)</p>
<p>Maybe you&#8217;d rather keep your heels on the ground, in which case <a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/cydwoq_classic/cydwoq_classic.asp?productLineID=1&amp;vendorID=36&amp;productID=1137&amp;colorID=2081">Cydwoq&#8217;s Sparta</a> might be just the thing for moving into spring.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/cydwoq_classic/cydwoq_classic.asp?productLineID=1&amp;vendorID=36&amp;productID=1137&amp;colorID=2081"><img src="http://www.pedshoes.com/images/colors/2081/main.jpg" alt="" /></a></p>
<p>We went wild for this boot when we first saw it as a men&#8217;s style, so we begged Rafi and Ari to make a version for women. Ta da! We love how the washed grey leather is distinctive but still go-with-everything versatile.</p>
<p>(By the way, <a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/cydwoq_classic/cydwoq_classic.asp?productLineID=1&amp;vendorID=36&amp;productID=1137&amp;colorID=2081">the Sparta</a> just happens to be this week&#8217;s &#8220;sweet treat&#8221;! Click &#8220;be sweet to your feet&#8221; in the upper right corner of any Ped page to reach <a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/cydwoq_classic/cydwoq_classic.asp?productLineID=1&amp;vendorID=36&amp;productID=1137&amp;colorID=2081">the Sparta</a> with the magic code that&#8217;s worth 20% off at checkout!)</p>
<p>If you want something that rises a little higher on the leg, check out the Sparta&#8217;s taller sibling, <a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/cydwoq_classic/cydwoq_classic.asp?productLineID=1&amp;vendorID=36&amp;productID=1059&amp;colorID=1922">the Iota</a>.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/cydwoq_classic/cydwoq_classic.asp?productLineID=1&amp;vendorID=36&amp;productID=1059&amp;colorID=1922"><img src="http://www.pedshoes.com/images/colors/1922/main.jpg" alt="" /></a></p>
<p>This gorgeous lace-up is made of &#8220;aging&#8221; black leather and will get a brownish patina with wear. It&#8217;s one of our all-time favorite boots! Ped fans clearly agree since no sooner do we get a new shipment in than it flies right back out. If we don&#8217;t currently have your size, just send us an <a href="mailto:youfriends@pedshoes.com"> e-mail</a>, and we&#8217;ll put your name on the wait list for <a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/cydwoq_classic/cydwoq_classic.asp?productLineID=1&amp;vendorID=36&amp;productID=1059&amp;colorID=1922">the Iota</a>!</p>
<p>Of course,  you may prefer a buckled motorcycle boot to a lace-up. If so, look no further than <a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/fiorentini_and_baker/fiorentini_and_baker.asp?productLineID=1&amp;vendorID=29&amp;productID=583&amp;colorID=1059">Fiorentini + Baker&#8217;s Eli</a>!</p>
<p><a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/fiorentini_and_baker/fiorentini_and_baker.asp?productLineID=1&amp;vendorID=29&amp;productID=583&amp;colorID=1059"><img src="http://www.pedshoes.com/images/colors/1059/main.jpg" alt="" /></a></p>
<p>Such a great boot! You&#8217;ll never want to it off—and, good news, you won&#8217;t have to because <a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/fiorentini_and_baker/fiorentini_and_baker.asp?productLineID=1&amp;vendorID=29&amp;productID=583&amp;colorID=1059">the Eli</a> looks as good with skirts as it does with jeans!</p>
<p>But if spring fever makes you want to rock out, <a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/fiorentini_and_baker/fiorentini_and_baker.asp?productLineID=1&amp;vendorID=29&amp;productID=1071&amp;colorID=1939">Fiorentini + Baker&#8217;s Paula</a> is the way to go!</p>
<p><a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/fiorentini_and_baker/fiorentini_and_baker.asp?productLineID=1&amp;vendorID=29&amp;productID=1071&amp;colorID=1939"><img src="http://www.pedshoes.com/images/colors/1939/main.jpg" alt="" /></a></p>
<p>With a ruched front and a zipper up the back, <a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/fiorentini_and_baker/fiorentini_and_baker.asp?productLineID=1&amp;vendorID=29&amp;productID=1071&amp;colorID=1939">the Paula</a> is another hot number we can&#8217;t seem to keep in the Ped house! If you&#8217;d like to be on the wait list for our next shipment of this kickass ankle boot, <a href="mailto:yourfriends@pedshoes.com">drop us a line</a>!</p>
<p><a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/trippen_nouveau/trippen_nouveau.asp?productLineID=1&amp;vendorID=45&amp;productID=1085&amp;colorID=1957">Trippen&#8217;s Royal Bootie</a> is another transitional style with a rock &#8216;n&#8217; roll edge!</p>
<p><a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/trippen_nouveau/trippen_nouveau.asp?productLineID=1&amp;vendorID=45&amp;productID=1085&amp;colorID=1957"><img src="http://www.pedshoes.com/images/colors/1957/main.jpg" alt="" /></a></p>
<p>The spat-like upper wrapped by a buckle strap around the ankle ensures this boot will be the most cutting-edge thing on the street!</p>
<p>So let the sunshine in as the trees leaf out, but keep yourself well-booted while winter breezes into spring!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Everyone knows how crazy we are for all things Cydwoq! But, honestly, Rafi and Ari—the father and son team responsible for Cydwoq&#8217;s ultra-cool designs—have really outdone themselves for 2011. A smorgasbord of new warm-weather styles just arrived in the Ped warehouse, and Cydwoq has served up something for everyone from strappy heels for the girly girls to run-around-town flats for the tomboys at heart.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s a taste to whet your appetite and encourage you to think spring (or, if you&#8217;re lucky, mid-winter vacation)!</p>
<p>One area where Cydwoq excels is in creating practical walking shoes that still turn every head with their unusual style! Case in point, the new <a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/cydwoq_classic/cydwoq_classic.asp?productLineID=1&amp;vendorID=36&amp;productID=1181&amp;colorID=2199">Sabates</a>:<br />
<a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/cydwoq_classic/cydwoq_classic.asp?productLineID=1&amp;vendorID=36&amp;productID=1181&amp;colorID=2199"><img src="http://www.pedshoes.com/images/colors/2199/main.jpg" alt="" /></a></p>
<p>Too cool!!! But cutting edge funkiness is not the end of the story because these artistic shoes are also easy to wear. Simply slide your foot into the welcoming interior—no buckles, zippers, or even elastic to fiddle with!</p>
<p>Another great runabout style is <a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/cydwoq_classic/cydwoq_classic.asp?productLineID=1&amp;vendorID=36&amp;productID=1179&amp;colorID=2197">Cydwoq&#8217;s Penalty</a>, which is our pick for the first thing to pack if you&#8217;re heading somewhere warm.<br />
<a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/cydwoq_classic/cydwoq_classic.asp?productLineID=1&amp;vendorID=36&amp;productID=1179&amp;colorID=2197"><img src="http://www.pedshoes.com/images/colors/2197/main.jpg" alt="" /></a></p>
<p>You can cruise through sightseeing, shopping, and sipping a cocktail at the end of the day, looking terrific whatever the venue. And thanks to Cydwoq&#8217;s famous construction, you may be tired, but your feet will be blister-free and ready to go again tomorrow.</p>
<p>But maybe you&#8217;re looking for a wearable heel to go to the office (without sacrificing any snazz). Then breathe in <a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/cydwoq_vintage/cydwoq_vintage.asp?productLineID=1&amp;vendorID=35&amp;productID=1184&amp;colorID=2202">the Vapour</a>!<br />
<a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/cydwoq_vintage/cydwoq_vintage.asp?productLineID=1&amp;vendorID=35&amp;productID=1184&amp;colorID=2202"><img src="http://www.pedshoes.com/images/colors/2202/main.jpg" alt="" /></a></p>
<p>Everyone at Ped is smitten with the Vapour&#8217;s off-center t-strap. Plus the red color is simply delicious. (I ask you who doesn&#8217;t love a red shoe?)</p>
<p>And if you enjoy a sassy buckle-and-heel combo, then Cydwoq&#8217;s new <a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/cydwoq_vintage/cydwoq_vintage.asp?productLineID=1&amp;vendorID=35&amp;productID=1180&amp;colorID=2198">Possession</a> has your name on it!<br />

<p>Just like A.S. Byatt&#8217;s novel of the same name, this beautiful heel embodies both a 19th century romanticism and an utterly modern attitude. For lovers of the steampunk aesthetic, the Possession is a retro-futuristic dream come true!</p>
<p>Another thing we admire about Cydwoq is how their designs often bring artsy and organic together into a harmonious whole.<br />

<p>The new <a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/cydwoq_classic/cydwoq_classic.asp?productLineID=1&amp;vendorID=36&amp;productID=1174&amp;colorID=2192">Buds sandal</a> is earthy and urban all at once. We love the way rivets connect the leather leaves, but we confess this sandal had us at green (our favorite)!</p>
<p>For sheer impact, though, we recommend lacing up Cydwoq&#8217;s new <a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/cydwoq_classic/cydwoq_classic.asp?productLineID=1&amp;vendorID=36&amp;productID=1176&amp;colorID=2194">Expo</a>!</p>
<p><a href="http://www.pedshoes.com/cydwoq_classic/cydwoq_classic.asp?productLineID=1&amp;vendorID=36&amp;productID=1176&amp;colorID=2194"><img src="http://www.pedshoes.com/images/colors/2194/main.jpg" alt="" /></a></p>
<p>Kapow! This sandal&#8217;s rustic yet clean-lined design takes the gladiator sandal a step ahead, out of the arena and onto the runway! Super chic—imagine how terrific the Expo will look with a floaty summer dress! A perfect exercise in contrasts!</p>
<p>The above bevy of beauties is just a glimpse of the panorama of Cydwoq styles awaiting you at Ped&#8217;s main site! You&#8217;ll love the view—but Cydwoq&#8217;s hand-crafted comfort is what will win your heart!</p>
