The annual Army & Navy Shoe Sale happens this Wednesday April 21st at 8:00am sharp.
This event which usually sees a line up forming outside before the crack of dawn features designer shoes at rock-bottom prices.
The sale’s been around for over 50 years and in 2008 they sold close to 80,000 pairs of shoes. For 2010, Army & Navy is stocked up with over 100,000 pairs including labels such as Steve Madden, Christian Audigier, Diesel, and Marc Fisher.
Last year I interviewed the Junior Buyer for the Shoe Department at Army & Navy who offered the following pieces of advice:
Wear flip flops for ease of trying on pair after pair
Grab a basket or the complimentary A&N shopping bag, fill it with all the shoes you like, and grab yourself an empty corner to try your shoes on
For those shoppers who aren’t able to make it right at 8:00 am, don’t worry we stock up the shelves all day, and especially for the lunch and after work rush
I’ll be live-tweeting from the downtown location (36 West Cordova Street) Wednesday morning, from around 7:00am.
Enter to win tickets to various
Fringe Festival performances (until September 19)
Donate to
my Drop Zone campaign & be entered to win a 2-night stay at Tinhorn Creek (until September 7)
Enter here to win a pair of day passes for the Vancouver Trolley (until September 10)
Enter here to win tickets to Jon & Roy at The Chan Centre (until September 13)
I’ll be waiting outside the doors in New West with my flipflops!
[...] Vancouver blogger Miss604 has some great tips on what to do to prepare for the shoe-frenzy: [...]
Darn it! Is it just the one day? If so, then I’ve missed it. Will the leftover shoes still be on sale today, Thursday? Please let me know, if you would.
Thank you
