Shoe lovers, take note: Charlotte Olympia will host another sample sale for New Yorkers this beginning this Wednesday, November 18th at the Roosevelt Hotel near Grand Central Terminal with up to 75% off retail prices on tons of heels.

Last year, we discovered this sale is like going to Willy Wonka's factory full of whimsical shoes, with pretty much everything priced between $130 and the high $500s. Each shoe is packaged with a doodle on the box and a Polaroid of the pair that's inside to save you time from digging through cardboard lids and tissue paper to find what you're looking for. We spotted tons of kitty flats ($130) as well as cola bottle high heels ($285), and Birds of Paradise birdcage heels ($235).

This will be a tough sale to shop during a tight lunch break (expect crowds and a line, especially to pay), but it'll be totally worth it to snag a statement shoe at those prices. Get an idea of what you'll find in the images below, and see the Dealfeed underneath for sale's dates and times.

Mexi-Cat pink flats, $135 (from $695)

Cosima suede shoe with hand-painted enamel Zodiac symbol, $235 (from $995)

Party Shoes in turquoise, $160 (from $665)
