The mighty shoe has been called the carriage to the foot, a fashion-forward receptacle of phalanges, and the durable bread between our butter heels and bacon sidewalks. Today's Groupon dresses your walkers with designer styles: for $35, you get $75 worth of designer shoes and accessories at J. Hathaway Shoe Boutique in Leawood.

Last fall, veteran pedwear peddler Jill Hathaway opened J. Hathaway Shoe Boutique to offer designer foot-casings for the discerning toe-tapper. J. Hathaway's exclusive stock includes upscale brands such as Corso Como, Donald J Pliner, and Tsubo. Ann Roth pumps ($265–$290) allow toes to peer out at the modern world from vintage-inspired fabrics, and Anyi Lu's Phoebe quilted ballet flats ($365) dance delicately on eggshells or more laid-back flooring. The interlocking straps of Everybody's Emerald ($168) are made from supple glove leather, finally giving feet the hand treatment they deserve. J. Hathaway's shoe shelves are dedicated to just a few pairs apiece, so each phalange-pleasing partnership looks like a museum display, minus the pesky, shushing security guards.

J. Hathaway also carries a stunning assemblage of accessories to partner with bashful shoes or coquettish socks. Peruse the selection of Sobral jewelry or compare handbags from M Z Wallace to determine which receptacle could best transport vast munitions of Silly String.

You may use up to three Groupons together in a single purchase.
