One day left to hit up the Butter / Something Bleu sample sale!

8 May 2014

On the hunt for some high quality shoes at killer prices? You have one day left to hit up the Butter & Something Bleu sample sale!

These shoes retail at over $298 on a good day, but for one more day, you can snag these beautiful babies for only $60! That is a deep discount, if we ever saw one.

Butter shoes are 100% manufactured in Italy, so you will find nothing but the finest quality construction here. Butter and Something Bleu are crafted with top-notch leather, suede, and specialty materials. We were seeing crinkled patent leather, sequins, rosettes, molded leather embellishments, and well executed basics. For sharp kitten heels with mesh negative space details to smooth flats ready for a polo match, you can really score at this sale.

Wedding season is also upon us, and whether you are a bride, member of the bridal party, or esteemed guest, this is almost an essential stop. All Something Bleu shoes come embedded with a blue crystal in the sole, perfect to check that box off your list. Bridesmaids will find all essential colors: nude, basics brown, black, and white; and new classics silver and gold.

The sandal section wasn’t too large, but honestly had the only 3 options one needs: Basic thong sandal, embellished gemstone sandals, and trendy leather bow sandals. The vintage punched leather style came in many versions: flat, wedged, stiletto, and kitten heel, allowing for you to really fine tune your heel style.

Butter prides themselves on high quality construction with comfortable but trendy style selection. Nothing you see is overly avant garde, but nothing you see won’t get worn frequently with a multitude of styles both casual and formal. Pairing some of the more refined styles with a skinny jean would take your style to the moon. Whichever is your target shoe style, this sale is important if you want the high end details of a designer shoe at a department store price. All leather soles, proper hardware and kidskin inner soles prove the pedigree of this shoe, not something you will find at Urban Outfitters, Target, or Steve Madden.

The sale itself takes place in the actual showroom for Butter shoes, which is one medium sized room in the front of the offices. Pieces were from the past 3 seasons, and many of the styles are not overly trendy, allowing for many seasons of wear. This one takes place in midtown, right across from FIT, on 7th avenue between 27th and 28th streets at 307 7th Avenue.

This sale was not the biggest, but not lacking in selection by any means. Smaller sizes might be sold out on day 2, but the ‘Last Chance’ section had a number of large and small sizes, only missing the more popular middle sizes. Let’s face it, size 7 has to be the first online at a shoe sale. If you have a larger size foot, you need to hit this sale, as larger styles are some of the last hanging around, allowing you to have the most expansive selection of all the sizes. Butter’s sample sale is cash only, and worth a look if you are in need of designer quality shoes at an over 80% discount.
