Cork It!!
Cork Finds
BeansTalk isn't crazy about the trend towards cork-bottomed shoes, but they seem to be super popular. In fact, we have a friend who's gone a tad shoe crazy lately and she has a particular penchant for this look, albeit in the highest of heels. Who are we to deny fans what's hot? So here's a look at some of the cutest versions we've found. (You may notice we don't have many slingbacks or ankle-straps -- they're a particular "no" for us, still, we found some darling samples. Prices quoted from zappos.com, but you can always do a Google search on the style you like to find other retailers.)
