the shoe addicts

shuzsociety – for those with a sole addiction – is a unique online magazine, shopping source and social network created especially for footwear fashionistas. It’s the premier source for all things shoes.

shuzsociety.com is the brainchild of Joni Marshall Floyd and Cindy Marshall. As loyal followers of Magnolia Media’s shuz magazine (rest its sole), the sisters-in-law decided to create an online dream destination where footwear fanatics could pursue their passion for foot fashion.

“We provide the virtual source for shoe lovers to come together as like minded soles to see, shop and share the wonderful world of shoes,” explains Joni. “Our mission is to create a shoe mecca – an online resource and community where shoe lovers from around the world voice their opinions on trends, as well as share their personal recommendations on stores, services and more to other members.”

Not only do footwear fanatics gain insider knowledge on the latest footwear news, shoe-related products, events and entertainment, they also have the chance to win designer shoes in shuzsociety's weekly “Fab Friday” giveaway.

“Every shoe featured on our site gives our shoe-obsessed fanbase the opportunity to click-to-purchase, learn about the designer and add favorites to their virtual shoe closet,” added Cindy. “Members can vote on the Shoe of the Day, participate in the weekly “Fab Friday” shoe giveaway, view seasonal trends in the shuz Gallery, watch entertaining shoe-related videos and interact with designers, retailers and sole sisters from around the world. The well-heeled shoe consumer can also find the best in closet organization products, gifts, books, music, spas and wellness from our staff writers’ expert advice in Things we love.”
