“Give a girl the right shoes, and she can conquer the world.” ― Marilyn Monroe
This week is National Shoe Week! Can you believe it? An entire week dedicated to my favorite accessory! I’m not the type of woman who spends extravagant amounts of money on “things” but a fashionable, well-fitting shoe is something I consider to be a valuable investment. To celebrate, I headed over to The Shops at Mission Viejo to shop and see what kinds of deals are presently running.
In my twenties, my shoe choices were largely focused on fashion. They were the types of shoes that weren’t really designed to be walked in. With two children in tow, comfort and support are vital, but I don’t want to sacrifice style. Apart from the mall’s two department stores, there are 15 stores at The Shops at Mission Viejo that offer shoes for men, women, and children. One of my favorite shoe designers has a store at this particular mall, but on the day I wasn’t able to find the right “fit” at Steve Madden so I headed over to Macy’s, my go-to for apparel, fashion, and makeup.
Two of my favorite comfort shoe brands have a large presence at the department store and Macy’s happened to be having a wonderful shoe sale!
I picked up these leather platform sandals in black from Born. Despite the fact that I could live in these shoes, they’re attractive and versatile, allowing me to wear them with dresses and slacks or capris and jeans. Born prides themselves on offering handcrafted styles and premium leathers with an attention for detail.
The retail price of these shoes is $90, but together with the pair of gold platform sandals I picked up from Clarks (which retail for $94.99) my total bill ended up being approximately $105 plus tax which is a great deal! I received an additional 25% off each shoe because my bill totaled over $100 making each pair of shoes half price.
Despite the abundance of shoe stores that have a presence at this particular Simon Malls location, I often shop at Macy’s because of the expansive selection and affordable prices. With Memorial Weekend coming up, I imagine most of the stores will have some type of sale, however, for store-specific specials and deals, just visit the website.

The Shops at Mission Viejo is my go to mall. I was just at Macy’s picking up a new pair of Reefs. It was an early Shoe Week present to myself.
Ohhh… shoe week? Count me in! A girl can never have enough shoes!
Shoe week?!?! How did I miss this memo??! I think I will have to treat myself to a new pair of shoes (or two) in celebration! I don’t want to be a party popper, ya know!
WOW, there is such thing as a “Shoe Week”? I think I’ve been buried under a rock. I think I need to get out more often and get to The Shops at MV, now 🙂
