Kenneth Cole New York blue antiqued 'Precise Cut' pumps

Jackadandy (who is featured in the January edition of Curve Magazine!!) recently asked some questions about the Carnival of Shoes and Bags: Will you accept posts on not-new shoes? Will you accept posts on not-women’s shoes? Will you accept posts on what people do with shoes? Will you accept old posts?

Yes. To all of them.

And while we’re here, I want to encourage you once again to submit anything shoe or bag-related, including posts on: unusual finds; manufacturers that have a strict no-sweat-shop policy; shoes or bags made from only environmentally-friendly materials; shoes or bags made by small-time craftspersons who also have an interesting personal story; art museum exhibits that focus on shoes or bags as art pieces; essays that connect shoes, sexuality, and power; trends in shoes and work protocol, like should doctors wear open-toe sandals, etc.

If you’re still unsure about a type of post, please feel free to leave a question in the comment section.
