  1. does anyone know if the sample sale is updated daily or if all the stuff goes out the first day so by the last it is all picked over?
    thanks

  2. I will try to go this afternoon while my daughter is at school.
    gem twin, the last time the selection was good until the third day, but the last day nothing was left.

  3. I've never been to this sale. Does it get crazy and are the lines really long?

  4. So I just came back. They have tons of boots/booties and the usual suspects (heels and flats mainly from last year). Prices are not worth it (heels are $99, booties are 105 and boots are $140) unless you are looking for a particular style soldout. May be worth it if you are in the market for wellies ($25 and $70 for Hunters and Aigle). I scored a pair of Aigle riding boots for $70 and a paĆ­r of toirtoire ballet flats for $65 so I am pretty happy.

  5. Agree with Ema - really high prices made it not worth it!

    In fact, I saw a pair of heels with the store tag (which read $49.99!!) still attached.

    Of course, I'm sure the nice sample sale people would have charged me the flat $99 for pumps. No thanks!

  6. I forgot to mention that the jewelry is REALLY not worth it this time around, all stuff from FS that has been around for ages (I was there at 2 pm though so it may be that they had sold the good stuff).
    It's really a shoe sale, if you are looking for shoes and in particular boots it could be worth it if you are in the area.

  8. YES! They have 2 full racks or at least 2 full tables of shoes in every size. The whole place is shoes only. Not too many collection shoes - Colleen flats & heels, Jemma jeweled slingback, Bailey feather heels, Belle fleur mirror heels, Diamonte jeweled peep toes, Luciana heels...

    Here are what I saw at the sample sale:
    - Starlight Sylvia heels (sequins), Pippa peep toes (patent leather and metallic) & flats, Abby toe cap heels & flats, Juliet suede heels, Jewel box suede heels, Marlene crisscross platform, Charlie ruffled suede heels & mary jane, Starla satin pumps, Harper suede & metallic heels, Molly peep toes, Cossette mary jane, Kelcey suede flats...

    Don't really know the name of most of the boots but there are plenty of flat & heeled boots - Metropolitan suede and leather booties, Sahara boots, Cardova shearling boots, Vintage leather tall & short roaster boots.
    Hope this helps!

  9. I thought the shoe sale was actually pretty good, but I only went Thursday and Friday when I knew there would be markdowns.

    Yesterday I got the Metropolitan booties in faded black leather which for $70 is a great price for ankle booties.

    Today I picked up the Nottingham tall leather flat boots in a dark brown. I just love the way that the calf is small so that it keeps legs looking slim. They were a steal at $100. And I also got a pair of Black fringed moccasin booties for $35.

    Everything was in good condition and I'm a size 7/7.5. I was really jealous of all of the people with size 10 because there was a lot more selection.

    All of the decent flats were gone by Friday (marked down to $35 on Thursday).

    If you're looking for a pair of tall boots, it's worth checking out. For $100 you can't go wrong.
