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.

Joie's "She's Electric" takes the idea of the ever popular booties or ankle boot and turns all notions of what is fashionable upside down. The open toe and cut out heel cap are fashion forward without being over the top. Wear with jeans, or a fabulous dress to stun all those around you.

Snap closure, with asymmetrical side zip adds of bit of the hard edge motorcycle flair. Partially hidden 3/4" cork platform. 3.75" wooden heel. Leather sole.

Antelope Merav 492 Red boot $238

The hippest trend of the season is motorcycle boots. No longer a passe fashion of the Seattle grunge scene, motorcycle boots have hit the feet from functional biker babes to New York socialites alike, and are all over the runway at New York Fashion Week. Hard edged fashion, with a bit of femininity is all you need, and Antelope's Merav 492 answers the call. Extremely comfortable, the Antelope hall-mark, and made of a distressed red leather- these boots will become one of your favorites. Rock these with a pair of jeans and keep it simple, or add flirty touches to mirror the runway looks being shown by Marc Jacobs and everyone else at Bryant Park.

Bronx "Linus" Boot $168 in Dirty Suede Cognac or Anthracite

Cowgirl meets fashion, hello Bronx Linus boots!

Just bought myself a pair, because they are so comfortable. Wear with skinny jeans, or if you're like me and don't do the skinny jeans, these are big enough around the calf to tuck flared jeans into, or pair with a sweater dress for a cute urban chic look.

they amazingly fit under jeans as well

Comfortable, rugged (I took mine to the coast and rode horses in them), durable, and cute- you can wear the Bronx Linus either all the way up or slouched for a more fashionable style.

These boots are also great for ladies with larger calves and high arches- (it is the only pull on boot that I can fit my high arch into!)

Everybody "Orvieto" Noce $179

These just came in, style Orvieto in Noce (hazelnut) by Everybody shoes. I am already in-love- they are SO comfortable, and they look amazing. The buckles are functional, but the side-zip allows easy entry. Fabulous transition shoe- great for today when it is going to be 90 degrees, or so cute in winter with patterned tights.

Come get them fast as Everybody shoes tend to fly out the door- before they are all gone!!!!

Did I mention the are extremely comfortable. The leather is buttery soft.
