Kelsi Dagger Linzy

We couldn’t have asked for a more versatile pump! Perfect for going from office to happy hour and…what do you know? It’s dressed in a lovely shade of purple that exemplifies the freshest Spring trend.

Relaxing day at the beach? Hangin’ out poolside, perhaps? Yes, please! These puppies are the perfect combination of island attitude and mainland fashion sense (not that the two are mutually exclusive, of course).

Rocket Dog Clover

Steve Madden Manngo Platform Wedges .

Coral calling! This color looks great paired with just about any and every other color in the palette, and is the choice of many fashionistas for breaking free of Winter’s icy grip.

Aloha all!  So, this post is a bit different than what you are used to seeing, but the past couple weeks have seen epic surf here in San Diego, and all the toes on the nose bros and surfer gals at Shoe Metro have certainly been taking advantage.  We wanted to share some awesome pics taken right here in our own backyard, of some of our very own local surf gurus and Shoe Metro family.

Also have to give a shout out to super grom Tiare Thompson – home grown right here in La Jolla.  Check out this snapshot from our Bearpaw photo shoot with this talented young surfer, and let us know how awesome she is!

It’s not flip-flop season just yet, so don’t forget to check out our favorite lineup of Bearpaws that will keep your tootsies warm after a refreshing spring surf sesh.  Even better – they’re 30% off with the coupon BEARPAW30!  Your favorite pair of Bearpaw boots or slippers is just a click away – but hurry – the coupon expires tomorrow…

Heads up everyone: we’re having our annual Winter Boot Sale. We have new markdowns on many boots in our Sale section. You can save as much as 80% Off MSRP (and I’ve heard even more in some very lucky cases). I encourage everyone to get some holiday shopping early. You can hit the links below or click on the picture below to start shopping.

• Shop Women’s Boots
• Shop Men’s Boots

Heads up: We’re having a sale on all Bearpaw boots and shoes right now. Bearpaw is one of the leaders in winter footwear, creating high-quality boots, shoes, and sandals. Their secret is their use of sheepskin, which keeps feet warm during the winter but also mysteriously keeps feet cooler and drier in the summer too. Either way, it’s a great look for the season.

Remember when you shop, use code: 20BEAR at Checkout to apply the 20% savings to your Bearpaw boots and shoes.

• Shop Women’s Bearpaw
• Shop Men’s Bearpaw
• Shop Youth Bearpaw

Take 20% Off All Bearpaw. Use code: 20BEAR at Checkout.

We have yet another super-short, One Day Sale going on starting now. You can get 30% OFF the shoes listed below, which actually means way bigger savings because these shoes are already marked down. Just use this code at checkout: 30DEAL. Good for today only.

Sorry for the late notice BUT if you are signed up for our mailing list, you would’ve already known. Just a friendly suggestion! ::wink::
