My PIKA for Winter Fashion: SHOEme

By

NOTE: The following giveaway is open to Canadians only.

It’s a time-honoured recipe for success: Great Prices + Great Customer Service = Happy Customers.

And, happy customers are repeat customers.

You’ve probably heard of SHOEme – Canada’s online shoe store, offering over 180 brands and growing. But you may not know why it’s so awesome – or why it’s now my favourite place to shop online for footwear. And today, I really want to tell you.
DSC_0217I can break down my love affair with SHOEme into three distinct categories: Selection, Service, and their Star Attraction – PIKA. In fact, I’ve been lollygagging around town in my brand new PIKA Teya Button boots, and have been pretty damn pleased with myself. Congratulations on discovering your go-to boot for the season, Lena. Yes, I am congratulating myself, because I consider discovering SHOEme and these gorgeous boots a job well done.
DSC_0227But first, selection. It’s hard to find an online shoe destination with choice. And when I say choice, I’m referring to a wide array of premium brands, budget picks, and everything in between. Often, an online shoe retailer tends to sway in one direction or the other. Not the case with SHOEme. 

From coveted Frye boots to trendy Touch Ups shoes, there are styles to fit every fancy – and budget. In fact, the selection is so overwhelming, you may need an hour or two of retail therapy to ensure you’ve done the site justice. (In addition to women’s, they also offer men’s and kids footwear as well. Just in case you need to partake in a little selfless shopping.)
DSC_0234Next , the service. Unparalleled, friends. Shipping is uncomplicated: “It’s simple: Enjoy no duties, free shipping, and free returns on every order at SHOEme.ca!” They  offer a hassle free 100-day Return Policy for all items; see here for full details.

Have a problem? Speaking to customer service is a pleasure. In my case, it was taking longer than normal for my items to ship, so I placed a friendly call to their customer care team. What I received was competent, willing service and a quick resolution.
DSC_0220Finally, the star attraction: PIKA, SHOEme’s first original footwear line of women’s shearling boots. PIKA boots are designed to be a casual, comfortable lifestyle brand for women seeking quality materials with classic and timeless look for the fall and winter seasons. Styles available include classic shearling boots, button shearling boots and fashion shearling boots for women – and just released, the new Mukluks, which are likely my next coveted pair.
DSC_0236This holiday season, take a moment to spoil yourself with PIKA boots from SHOEme. And if you suddenly have the same urge to frolic in the snow, I won’t blame you at all.

One lucky reader will WIN a pair of PIKA boots (your choice!) up to a value of $200! To enter, simply fill the form below with your qualifying entries. Good luck everyone!

    I have been lurking on some miz mooz over at shoeme but have been hesitating because I didn’t have an actual customer experience recommendation to go with. You’re write up is super helpful!

  2. Tricha F.

    I have never heard of this site. Thanks for letting us know. I checked it out and already have my eyes on a pair of Blondo winter boots. There is even a 30% discount code.

  4. nicolthepickle

    Those are so cute!
    Like Caroline I’ve been eyeing some shoes on Shoeme too. I find it’s better to buy a quality pair and have it last then buy a cheap pair that just looks good.

    • Lena

      Totally agree. And the great news is, I can’t call PIKA boots “knock-offs” because the quality is actually there!

  6. Erika Belanger

    I LOVE these boots. I just bought a new pair, and a new handbag, oh and 5 new outfits lol while I was Christmas shopping so I don’t think my husband will let me buy there but there is always next year!

  13. Andrea B.

    WOMEN’S TALL STRAPPY MUKLUK in grey is what I would choose. I have wanted a pair for so long. Thank you for the opportunity!

  15. Erin McGrath

    I love the grey Teya Button mid. I’ve bought from Shoeme before and I was very impressed with their great customer service.

  21. Lyn M

    I love the boots that you selected, they look both stylish and comfortable! I would love a pair in grey!

  22. Lori Shmuir

    All of the boots a beautiful, but I can’t pick one for myself. If I win, I will give the choice to my daughter because she lives in Sudbury and refuses to buy herself some warm winter boots – she won’t even let me buy her a pair! I think she would like the Teya Button Mid in brown or grey, if I had to choose a pair for the purposes of this contest.

  24. TERRI MACKINNON

    Nice boots, I like all of the classic line. Guess I’d choose the classic tall, in black. Thanks for the chance!

  32. Amy Elizabeth Stackhouse

    We live in rural, Nova Scotia and it is really hard to find great footwear for my whole family. I was hesitant to buy footwear online, but your recommendation has changed my mind!

    My inner teenager would really like the PIKA Classic Dazzle in red or gold but I love the look of your PIKA’s. I would actually choose the chestnut PIKA Teya Button mid.

  34. Sharlene

    I would love the women’s tall strappy mukluk for DD14 – hope it comes in a size 11 b/c she’s really tall! :)

  37. NJ @littleluckeh

    Wow the Sale on today! I love the WOMEN’S TALL STRAPPY MUKLUK. Perfect for walking the pups in the mountains here in Alberta

  43. Kristy Reid

    TALL CLASSIC SUEDE MUKLUK – not sure if I’d go with the brown or the grey though… love them both!

  52. Pamela Jessen

    Those boots look so comfortable!! I’d love to win a pair….good luck to everyone.

    Merry Christmas Lena!!! Wishing you every joy in the coming year!

  53. Shelley Nelson

    I like a lot of the styles I might go for the Chocolate Brown WOMEN’S TALL CLASSIC SUEDE MUKLUK. It is very nice

  55. Nicole W.

    I would definitely choose the boots you’ve featured in your post – the Teya Button Mid. The short suede mukluks also caught my eye! :) Thanks for the giveaway!

  99. Esther Abel

    I love these awesome boots,especially Pika Classic Short black xo Haven’t bought new boots in yrs! Circulation leg probs,theses are perfect :)

  108. Lori Moran

    I really like the brown Pika that you have! It would be a toss up between those or some nice dress boots like the Ariat in black. We have more rain than snow here.

  128. Florence C

    If I won, I would have a hard time choosing which ones. I do love the Pika Classic Tall in Chestnut.

  135. Laura c

    What awesome boots these are and all the different styles Pika has. It would be great to win these for sure.

  137. Heath Waller

    If it had to be $200 and under, I’d get the Cougar Boots Original, but if I could pay a bit more, it would be the Santana Canada Massima.

  160. Tricia Cooper

    I love the PIKA Women’s Tall Strappy Mukluk! Thanx for the review . . . sounds the company treats their customers how they would like to be treated!

  194. Joan Brown

    If I won I would pick the Pika tall Strappy Mukluks in grey, they are so cute and I’ve always wanted a pair of mukluks.

  212. Chandra Christine O'Connor

    WOMEN’S SHORT SUEDE MUKLUK I would love the tall ones but my calves have a hard time in tall boots.

  229. IMMACOLATA AMY PAGLIUSO

    Where the heck have i been? never heard of SHOEme.ca until now….WOW I love so many of them….

  230. Alexandra B

    I love shoeme.ca and shoeme outlet! Never been disappointed! Pika short Suede mukluk are my favorite! :)

  245. stacey h

    Women’s Teya Button Mid in grey.
    i’ve purchased from shoeme.ca twice already and they have great selection and some of the best customer service.

  246. Carole Dube

    I love the tall suede Pika mukluks.

    I bought from shoe me before and even made a return and they process the return fast and efficiently.

  252. Jennifer Parsons

    The Short Suede Mukluks are very fun (I like the black best), but I would probably choose the Teya Button Mid in either brown or grey.

  255. Jodi Mitrovic

    I love the PIKA Teya Button Mid boot in black but let’s be honest, as a woman with your “stereo typically” shoe feadish, I’d love anyone of them! I’ve heard of SHOEme before but haven’t checked them out. Your glowing review sounds like a company I want to deal with! Shoes for the whole family, 100 day return policy and good customer service is everything I love in a great company! Thanks for the review and giveaway!

  262. Sarah Smart

    I so need new winter boots! I found out my most recent pair have worn down a little (and I found out the hard way! Wet socks! Wah!) would love to have this cute pair to strut around my neighbourhood in! They really are darling

  264. suzi

    WOMEN’S TEYA BUTTON MID (black) though honestly I’m not 100% because there are about 5 different pairs I’d love to have!*l*

  267. Pamela

    Super cute boots! I’d love to win a pair, and even if I didn’t, I’m looking into them because my family and I are going to Iceland next month and I also walk to and from work every day. Good incentive for good (and cute) boots.

  274. Darlene Schuller

    I am in love with the Tall Strappy Mukluk in black! I think that’s so freaking cute and would top up any winter outfit!

  283. Jaimie Cann

    I have been interested in Shoeme and find myself revisiting their website; but have not yet ordered anything….this write-up might just push me over the edge! I do not usually purchase shoes online (due to a wonky left foot), but with this type of customer service experience and endorsement, I don’t see what could hold me back! Thanks!

  292. Bev Sayers

    Still wearing the same boots for close to 14/15 years. Can you believe that. Time for new ones so if I did win I love the Pika Teya Button Mid in the black. They look so warm and comfortable. The way this winter has been so far – so so cold – these would be for me!

  294. Chrystal H

    I just got my Pika Mukluks an let me tell u, they did not disappoint. An their customer service at Pika is top notch!! I ordered the grey but unfortunately they ran out of my size, I personally got a call from them, they gave me several options while being extremely apologetic an helpful, I ended up ordering the chocolate an they are sooo comfortable an gorgeous!!! I love there return policy too, can’t go wrong with ordering through them, an definitely cant go wrong with the pika line:)

  295. Melanie S.

    I have never ordered on line for shoes before, I am a little (a lot) nervous! Any chance you could tell me how they fit? I am a true 8.5 and ordering whole size shoes doesn’t typically work out for me.
    Any help you could provide would be greatly appreciated.
    Oh…I am looking at the Pika Mukluk…so love them!
    Warmest Regards,
    Melanie

      Hi Melanie! I own both the PIKA Teya Button and the PIKA Mukluk, and they both fit fairly true to size! (I am a size 8). In fact, they are a *teeny* bit bigger than a size 8, so if you’re a half size, you may want to consider sizing down instead of sizing up. Hope that helps!
