Times are tough, it’s true. For those of you who are even scaling back on your shoe shopping, I offer condolences, plus two exclusive offers that just may let you shop for shoes without guilt.

The first is from NooShooz - maker of modular shoes that combine a stylish wooden sole with zip-on leather uppers. Already a great value (you get three leather uppers in your choice of colors with every order), they’re now even easier on the wallet. That’s because, from now through 11/21/08, Fantastic Toe readers and members can receive $25 off their NooShooz order. What better time to stock up on travel shoes or simplify your wardrobe? To take advantage of this offer, just mention Fantastic Toe when you place your order.

The second is from the fine folks at TOMS Shoes, originator and practitioner of the One for One policy. One for One means that for every pair of TOMS Shoes you purchase, they give away a pair to a child in need. So, buying TOMS Shoes already makes you feel good, right? Well, now you can feel even better because from now through the end of the year, you can take 10% off your TOMS Shoes order. It’s a great incentive to add their adorable election-themed shoes to your voting outfit, or to try out their new wrap boots. To take advantage of this offer, just input promo code “fantastictoe” when you place your order.
