Guest Post: Designer Shoe Destiny at Goodwill

Rachel

Spend enough time at Goodwill (or in my case, multiple Goodwills), you’re bound to notice patterns or see the same types of things.

But I have to say I was completely unprepared for the number of times I run across a specific brand of high-end footwear in my Goodwill travels: Stuart Weitzman.

For the uninitiated, Stuart Weitzman is a line of designer shoes that typically cost more than $200 per pair.

Stuart Weitzman shoes found at Goodwill!

The price alone is enough to make my deal-loving heart skip a beat when I see them on the racks at Goodwill for considerably less than retail.

I’ve seen them on the shelves at Goodwill in Cornelius, Mooresville and recently spotted a strappy espadrille pair on the rack at Goodwill in Savannah.

Sometimes they are well-loved — Weitzman fans swear by the hand-crafted-in-Spain comfort — but just as often I’ll see a pair that looks virtually unworn.

If I happen upon a pair in my size, I’m down right giddy.

If they don’t fit me, it takes everything within me to not approach random women in the store — shoes in hand — to find out their size while relaying why this pair of Weitzmans are such a good deal ($300+ versus $3.99).

What do you repeatedly find on the racks at Goodwill that blows your mind?
