Buy designer shoes, save a life

It is better to give than to receive. But this month, you can do both!

QVC and the Fashion Footwear Association of New York (FFANY) will broadcast “FFANY Shoes on Sale,” a charitable shoe sale to benefit breast cancer research and education.

Look for 100,000 pairs of discount, brand name shoes from 7-10 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 13 on QVC.

Nine West Footwear Corporation and the Brown Shoe Company, the event’s benefactors, are donating nearly 20,000 pairs each, bringing shoe shoppers brands like Enzo Angiolini, Bandolino and AK Anne Klein as well as Via Spiga, Etienne Aigner and Carlos by Carlos Santana, according to a news release issued by QVC. Other companies donating shoes include MICHAEL by Michael Kors, Coach Footwear, Cape Clogs, Calvin Klein, UGG Australia, New York Transit, Jessica Simpson, Dr. Martens and Birkenstock.

For the past 15 years, QVC Presents “FFANY Shoes on Sale” has sold more than one million pairs of shoes and has donated more than $30 million to the cause, the release said.

If you can't watch the show, pick up the “Shoe of the Day,” offered each weekday throughout the month of October on QVC from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m. A collection of shoes will also be available online, at QVC.com throughout the month.
