Happy Columbus Day! Columbus set sail for a new land, long ago, hoping to make a big discovery and find fabulous shoes.

Well, okay. Maybe not. But we’ve been celebrating holidays with good shoe sales for years, and really, Columbus did set the ball in motion for an entire people to get out from under those horrid buckled shoes that were so big with the British at the time. Just sayin’.
