KORS Michael Kors 'Newton' Wedge, Was: $185.00 Now $39.95

The Deal: Monday, March 30 This week! Kors Michael Kors Women's Shoes, Select Styles, only $39.95!


Why You Need It: These KORS Michael Kors wedges will make your legs look miles long! And if that's not a good enough reason, I don't know what is. Seriously, though, this is a very hot brand right now and this is your chance to save big on some great summer styles. Or, if you're really savvy, you'll pick up some winter boots (certain styles are marked down from $320!) and save them for next season.

Tsubo 'Hypo', Was $90 Now $19.95 at 6pm.com

The Deal: Friday March 27 - Sunday March 29 This Weekend! All Tsubo shoes only $19.95


Why You Need It: Tsubos are edgy, sporty shoes for the fashion-conscious urban trekker. Tsubo means pressure point in Japanese, and the Tsubo sneaker's signature mark is a series of functional yet cool-looking cushion oval bubbles designed on the sole for various pressure points of the foot.

This is a great deal for a quality brand, which is sold at hip shoe stores like City Soles in Chicago's Wicker Park neighborhood for upwards of $100 a pair. A couple years back, I bought a pair of Tsubos on sale for $49 at Nordstrom and thought I got a good deal—was I ever wrong.
