Anyone who’s ever packed for a two-week vacation has wished she owned one pair of shoes that matched every outfit. Well, this very desire sparked one entrepreneurial shoe designer - who had just paid $200 in overweight luggage fees - to start sketching, and within weeks she had come up with NooShooz, the coolest, most clever traveling shoes you’re ever likely to come across.

NooShooz are clever because they’re modular: you pick the heel style you like, and then zip on 100% leather uppers, in the color of your choice. Create shoes to match every outfit in your suitcase, and pack them in a fraction of the space. Didn’t I tell you they were cool?

Available in three heel heights - a walkable 1″ kitten heel, comfortable 3″ wedge, and stylish 4″ stilettos - each pair of NooShooz comes with 2-3 uppers in the color of your choice. You can also order additional uppers (there are twelve colors in all to choose from; see the full selection here).

NooShooz are great for travel, it’s true. But they’re also great for anyone with limited closet space, or who chooses to take a simpler approach to shopping and wardrobe maintenance.

And, from now through November 21, 2008, you’ll receive $25 off your NooShooz order — just mention Fantastic Toe when you call. You can order direct from NooShooz here; lead time to receive your shoes is only a couple weeks, and they accept orders from the US, Europe, and Australia.
