Putting the “Shoe” in “The Shoe Hive”
Customers often tell me they think we don’t have as many shoes as we used to. Since I handle the buying, I can promise you that—aside from Sam Edelman—we absolutely do.
Nothing drove that home more than pricing shoes for the Alexandria Warehouse Sale and realizing just how many we still have. Boxes and boxes of shoes. In fact, we have far more shoes on sale than clothing, simply because shoes are what’s left. And in many ways, that feels fitting—because staring at stacks and stacks of shoes just like these is what inspired me to start this event years ago.
I originally planned to create a graphic styling outfits from sale pieces, but halfway through, it became obvious: what people really need to shop is the shoes.
The deals are truly insane. Of course, it’s always nice to be a size 6 or 6.5 at sale time, but this winter our selection goes far beyond that. As usual, we have a strong assortment of size 10s and 11s—and so many size 6 styles left that we may end up dedicating an entire table in the back just to them. I’m still trying to figure that one out.
I promise you, the shoes alone are worth a visit. And if you can’t make it in person, everything will be marked down online as well. Shop early for the best selection, and keep an eye on our social media to see when prices drop.
Our very first social media handle was @ShopTheShoeHive, and that mantra has never felt more accurate. You can absolutely put the “shoe” in “The Shoe Hive” during this Alexandria Warehouse Sale.
