MuShoe turns Green!

We here at mu.shoe believe in a sustainable planet, and while we are picky about what designers we buy from, making sure they have sound and ethical business practices, we also want to do our part to reduce waste. For that reason we have created some awesome reusable bags made with 100% recycled materials, which you can get for yourself for only $8.95. And a portion of all proceeds from the purchase of these bags goes directly into the Maasai Association Fund which is a community based non-profit based out of Bellevue and the Kajiado Central District of Kenya. Their humanitarian and relief work is aimed at building schools, providing education, supporting sustainable economic development, and building health clinics for the children on the Masai Mara.

I leave one in the car and one at home, so I'm never stuck without a fabulous reusable bag for groceries or whatever it is I need to carry.

If you buy a reusable mu.shoe bag you also will receive 10% off any purchase when you bring your bag into the store with you- through the end of August. When you buy a reusable bag you are helping the world, helping someone else, and helping yourself-- what is there not to like!

Down Boy! I'm Not the Girl Next Door....

I'm the Girl Two Doors Down.....


When you slip on a pair of Girl Two Doors Down flip flops or kitten heels, you’re not only putting on a stylish pair of summer shoes, you’re stepping into a state of mind. You'll get a kick out of their witty slogans that adorn the soles of the shoes like "The only thing better than one is TWO cabana boys", and "I'm not a princess, I'm the Queen."
These flip flops are loved by celebs and soccer mom's alike, and will tickle your funny bone and your feet will love them. Eva Longoria apparently has just about every pair!

We would like to introduce the newest line to be added to the MuShoe collections:

The designer, Pura López, grew up in the world of fashion in the heart of Spain and that is where she gets inspiration of her signature collection with feminine flare and funky accents.

Originally founded by Antonio López Moreno as a family business in 1956, Pura López grew up surrounded by the footwear fashion industry and after studying interior design and fashion in Alicante, Valencia and New York, she took up the reigns of her father's footwear line which has been a staple of the Spanish fashion industry for generations.

The line, named after Pura López herself, brings a sense of fantasy, comfort, function, whimsy and a touch of Mediterranean style.

We are sure that you will enjoy these fabulous shoes!
