For those who resolved to step up your shoe game in 2016, good news: Manolo Blahnik is offering its first markdown of the year on merchandise in its midtown boutique, Madison Avenue Spy noted. Shoes and boots from the winter collection are now a tempting 33% off, but the discount is expected to reach 75% off by the time February rolls around. If those over-the-knee leather Monoco boots or suede Alba pumps are screaming your name, you may want to head to 31 West 54th Street sooner rather than later, especially if you missed out on the New York City sample sale in November.

Customers who shopped last season's "amazing" semi-annual sale found plenty of styles priced between $195 and $295 by the time final markdowns came along, but it wasn't all good news — there were also limited size runs and long lines. If you're heading to check out the sale for yourself, let us know how you fare in the comments section below.
