You Know You’re A Shoe Addict When $5 Off Of $119 Sounds Like You Just Won The State Lotto.

In January Amazon.com launched their shoe and handbag website — Endless.com — with the following promotion:

If Bossy told you how long she stared at that offer trying to make mathematical sense of it you would surely understand why some people can afford vacation homes at the beach while Bossy showers the sand away in a Trailer Park ladies’ room.

Turns out Endless.com not only offers Free Shipping but will credit your account $5 just for the chance to send you a pair of shoes within 24 hours. Bossy isn’t sure but she thinks Zappos just threw up in their mouth a little.

Endless.com also offers a 110% guarantee. That’s like a 100% guarantee with an extra ten up in there. Here’s how it works: If within two weeks of purchase you find another website offering a lower price, they’ll credit you 110% of the difference.

So if you buy a pair of shoes for $100 and find them later for $80…

You can browse Endless.com by style, brand, color family, price, or size. The only thing that confused Bossy was the following Style category: Vegetarian & Vegan.

Enter If You Dare But Don’t Blame Bossy When Your Vacation Home Is Foreclosed.

   Ya know, I have really really really been trying to stay away from Zappos because, well, shoes and handbags are dangerous territory. That’s right, no vacation home for me.

   Now, I’ll add “endless” to my no-no list. Fortunately, the no-no list is null and void if I’ve had a beer, so I’ll check it out later.

   Wow. Five whole dollars off. And 110% of the difference is nice. Except that I still cannot buy their shoes because I spent so much on the ugly LLBean slipper/flip flops…

   I much prefer vegan shoes, because the dairy and eggs in the last pair of vegetarian shoes I bought last year went bad right quick.

    oHMYGOD.The perfection of it all. Paying the mortgage is overrated. Besides, if I’m going to be homeless, I need good shoes. Lots of ‘em.

    LOL I love your math to justify buying THE CUTEST SHOES EVER.

    I am sure you already know that veggie shoes just aren’t made with anything animal derived, which like, doesn’t make sense to me.

    I’ve nominated you for a completely meaningless Stinking Bugger Award.

    Because you’re worth it.

    I’m not so big into shoes.

    I went through a boot phase, but then I saw the Olsen twins wearing a pair I’d been ogling. Cured me real fast like.

    Now, if this was a bathing suit site…

    The mominatrix loves endless because they love the United Postal Service.

    The mominatrix is all for making crazy people just a bit happier by having to deliver and return her shoes.
