Happy Halloween

Everyone here at mu.shoe wishes you a happy and safe Halloween! Try to stay warm and dry, and not steal too much candy from the kids!

We are open today at both locations and handing out candy to any lucky children (or adults) that stop on by!

Get prepared for the fall/winter wet seasons!

Living in the Pacific Northwest, we all know there is going to be rain. It is inevitable and there is nothing we can do to change it, but that doesn't mean we can't be prepared! It is imperative that you protect your suede and nubuck before stepping out into a downpour. I talk to a lot of people who are afraid to wear suede because they think their shoes will get damaged. The fact of the matter is if you protect your suede or buy suede that is already waterproof, there is no need to worry! It holds up like any other leather. We carry many lines that are waterproof/weatherproof such as Aquatalia, Hush Puppies, and LaCanadienne to name a few and for those lines that we have that aren't waterproof, we have a product. It's from a company call Kiwi and it is a suede and nubuck protector. It will keep your suede looking like new! It is also very important in this weather to condition your leather. We carry a product by Lexol that you can use on your leather bags and leather shoes to keep them in excellent condition. Get your shoes and bags prepared for the weather!

Come into MuShoe and pick up the Lexol leather conditioner for only $6.50 and the Kiwi suede and nubuck protector for only $6.00.

Stuart Weitzman "Gigiritz" $298

Stuart Weitzman is synonymous with classic style and comfort, which is why you will love his new mid heel Satin pump, Gigiritz. Same great Stuart Weitzman feel, with a sophisticated satin gathered ruching on the toe for a bit of whimsy. Pair with a black dress for special occasions or slacks and even jeans for a fun night out.

Leather inner and sole with covered 2.75" heel- not too high, but enough to give an elegant line, and of course, comfort.

Hush Puppies Liliana $115

We just received another fabulous Hush Puppies pump, the Liliana, that you will be sure to adore. We currently have stock in the Black and Red, but we can also order it in the grey suede- and keep in mind that all the Hush Puppies suede shoes are waterproof- which is great because it is starting to be consistently rainy around here!

Lots of cushion and a small hidden platform keep in mind that you are on your feet, and the detail on the toe is tailored and elegant. The heeled oxford/loafer look is a style that is very in right now, and the Hush Puppies Liliana is at an affordable price!

Art Walk Edmonds

Tonight is the Art Walk in Edmonds from 5-8pm. Please feel free to come on by and have a glass of wine. We will be showcasing art by Cindra Avery. Her art is very beautiful and was a huge hit at 2nd Thursday on Park Lane in our Kirkland store. We have lots of new shoes and bags in for fall, so it is a great Art Walk to join us. Here is more about the artist:
Cindra Avery's work reflects commonality amongst people throughout the world. Her figures take on an overall anonymity to express the innate gestures of life. She uses vibrant color to depict the emotional content of her subjects. Cindra graduated with a BA in art education and has taught fine art for twenty-two years. She continues to travel, teach and create.
We hope to see you all in Edmonds tonight!

Dionella Tall Brown Boot $228

I have been waiting ALL season for these beauties to come in. They are made of American leather in Oaxaca by our lovely friends Claudia and Paolo with Dionella. Paolo is a fabulous designer, and Dionella by Dione is known as the Prada of Mexico. These boots are well made with buttery soft leather throughout the calf that allows for a little give for those of us with larger calves. The triangle toe is sexy and feminine while not squishing your toes together, and is very fashion forward.

Did I mention they are comfortable? I am wearing mine right now. It is a good 3" heel on a hidden 1" platform so it appears as a 4" heel, but with Dionella comfort is paramount, so looks may be deceiving, because these are comfortable enough to wear all day. They also have a swooped cut on the outside just above the buckle for a very sexy silhouette.

New Coclico shoes!

We just got in both the "Alemos," which is the tan bootie, and the "Oak," which is the black bootie from Coclico. Coclico's are made in Spain and the company is very fashion forward, as is obvious when looking at these two beauties! They have a wonderful structure and fit like a glove. The leather is very supple and these shoes are both very unique and must haves! Booties are a huge statement this season and if one is going to follow a trend, why not do it right by buying a stand out unique piece. The "Alemos" has sections that button on the side and the bottom of the shoe. This is what gives the wrap around structure around the foot. The "Oak" zips up on the interior as to not distract from the cut-out design. Come into MuShoe before these are all gone because they will go very fast!

2nd Thursday on Park Lane Kirkland

Tonight we are featuring an artist named Cindra Avery at MuShoe Kirkland for the 2nd Thursday on Park Lane! She has beautiful art that is a must see. Here is a little information on the artist: Cindra Avery's work reflects commonality amongst people throughout the world. Her figures take on an overall anonymity to express the innate gestures of life. She uses vibrant color to depict the emotional content of her subjects. Cindra graduated with a BA in art education and has taught fine art for twenty-two years. She continues to travel, teach and create. The event is happening from 6-9pm in our Kirkland store, which is located at 140 Park Lane in Kirkland. Come on by and enjoy a glass of wine while you look at beautiful art, shoes, and bags!

Kumfs shoes: a new brand to MuShoe!

Kumfs is a great brand we have just started carrying at MuShoe! The shoe called the "Glove" is the perfect black flat that will go with any outfit. The boot called the "Quaker" is so comfortable that it will be your staple for winter. The company was founded by podiatrists, so you know they had every foot in mind when coming up with the design! Kumfs have been around since the 1930's and are made in New Zealand. The padding in the shoe comes out so if you are someone who needs space for an Orthotic but believe in fashion forward shoes and comfort, look no further than Kumfs! Comfort and beauty is key and we at MuShoe believe Kumfs has found the perfect balance.
