Now that Black Friday and Cyber Monday are nothing but quickly evaporating memories, retailers and their websites have taken a relatively new approach to entice holiday shoppers to buy, well, now.
They’re using category flash sales. Brooks Brothers is doing it, and so’s Endless. A brand or retailer puts one specific type of their merchandise (leather goods, sweaters, women’s accessories) up for sale at a good sized discount, but the sale only lasts for one day. Brooks Brothers had small leather goods for men at 40% off a few days ago, and you could have swiped this sweet Golden Fleece embossed card case for something like $50 – $60.
Today on Endless? “Select” (damn, there’s that word again) designer shoes for 40% off.
90% of the selections aren’t all that appealing. But there’s some good ones in there too. Here’s a few in a couple different price ranges:
.
Hey look at that. A simple monk strap under $150. Yes, it’s made in China. But the toe looks nicely rounded, and the brand claims to make ultra comfortable shoes.
.
Finally. A plain, Italian Made slip on loafer at a reasonable price. Nice looking sweep of stitching towards the heel too. Toe is perfect. Again, made in Italy. Could become your new go-to casual Friday / wear it to the airport shoe.
.
Like the above loafer, made in Italy. Nice subtle cap stitching, with what they describe as a “squared” off toe. Doesn’t look too blunt to me, and it slightly resembles the Kenneth Cole Regal King. More stitching sweeps on the side make it lean modern but not in a crazy over the top way.
.
Even at 40% off these things are a bundle. Somewhat conservative looking. Made in Italy.
.
Here’s a double monk strap for the shoe fiends. Was $500, under three bills for today only.
Those are some of the around 200 men’s styles to chose from. If you had to pick, which one would you wear?

Spending a bit more, but not nearly "I got the Mi6 credit card" levels.
007? More like $0.07. Not that cheap, but the focus is firmly fixed on affordability.…
There's a pretty solid stunner of a stacking (Italian made) suit sale at Brooks Brothers.
