Ped Shoes

Don’t you hate it when words fail? Seems the perfect comeback is forever eluding you. (Only to materialize in your brain hours later.)

Don’t sweat it. Sometimes it’s best to let your footwear make a statement.

Pedshoes.com, the online boutique of a Seattle-based shoe store, is brimming with pumps and flats — as well as belts, jewelry, handbags, and other accessories — that speak volumes. The handcrafted sandals by Cydwoq will make you look as though you’ve just stepped off the plane from Peru. Weekends at the beach call for wedges from Calleen Cordero. Need something a titch fancy? Try a little silver slide from Belle.

So next time you’re struggling for something to say, check out the wares at Ped.

And let your feet do the talking.
