Coach Shoes and Discounted UGG Winter Deals

By Kenneth Elliott

Have you taken a look around at some of the high end stores that carry Coach Shoes and Cheap UGG boots? I have. I've noticed that there are a lot of sales going on these days. And why not. The Christmas holiday was not very good for most stores. They just did not recoup a majority of the money that they spent to have their isles packed with merchandise. This is a bad situation for them. But for consumers like you and me this is the perfect time to pick up Coach Shoes and UGG boots that normally would be a full price any other time. But now, I am seeing sales 20% to 50% off on some merchandise. It seems that retailers are just trying to get some of their money back.

But what is even better to shop for at this present time is spring and summer merchandise. I have seen UGG sandals today that normally would cost $99 dollars marketed down to prices like $70 dollars, a 20% discount off of sticker price. And that is just the beginning. I am looking at the home page for shoes.com now and all I see is sale after sale after sale. It is like they just want to give away the merchandise.

Take a look at this deal at shoes.com. It is for the Ugg Women's Mar Wedge. The description for this shoe reads "Ugg enters a brilliant new realm with this striking espadrille sandal. Soft suede or fabric upper in a two-piece espadrille wedge sandal style, with a round open toe, contoured front band, full cup heel with cutout and attached ankle tie straps. Smooth leather lining, cushioned footbed with 8mm curly sheepskin in forefoot. Natural material braided 1/2 inch midsole and 2 inch low espadrille wedge heel. Crepe-textured natural gum rubber outsole." This shoe is normally $99.99 but it is discounted to $79.99. That is a difference that most people would not be able to pass up.

But this is just the tip of the iceberg. Now is the time to let go and gain a few deals. I know that times are hard, but these deals may never come again.

It is really a bad time for retail stores. The economy is going down and people are losing their jobs. Customers just don't have the income to go out and purchase what they used to purchase. Those who do have the income aren't purchasing like they used to also. People are choosing to save for a rainy day and wait for sales. Retail stores are trying to attract customers to their stores by having sales. This is their only defense during this economic downfall.
