1. New 6pm Sales
   Vendor: 6pm.com
   Price: 20% to 75% off with $3.95 shipping
   Lowest By: varies by item
   Is It Worth It?: The best news about this latest selection of sales from 6pm.com is that they dropped shipping costs to $3.95 from $6.95 for a "limited time only." So if that's what's been stopping you from pressing the buy button on some great deals, fret no more. That may account for the surge in interest in this deal, or it could be offers like DC sneakers for as low as $14.
2. Steve Madden Men's Yorrk Shoes
   Vendor: BonTon
   Price: $34 with coupon codes "MAYONEDAY11" and "2011SELECTGUEST" with free shipping
   Lowest By: $42
   Is It Worth It?: This is a rock-bottom discount on this style of Steve Madden black dress shoes. So if you need a classic look that can go with suits, other fancy clothes or even jeans, pick up an extra pair. And, no, there doesn't seem to be an explanation out there for the extra "r" in the shoe's name.
3. Converse Unisex Chuck Taylor Casual Shoes
   Vendor: Finish Line
   Price: Starting at $20 with $7.99 shipping
   Lowest By: varies by selection
   Is It Worth It?: In these unisex Chuck Taylors, you can pick low tops or high tops in a span of designs. The "unisex" part of it apparently comes from the rather muted selection of colors — which basically goes from brown to gray, with orange and red the only bright splashes of color.
4. Nike Men's LunarGlide+ 2 Running Shoes
   Vendor: Nike
   Price: $60 with $8 shipping
   Lowest By: $20
   Is It Worth It?: When you consider that most Nike running shoes cost more like $100, this pair of LunarGlide+ 2 sneakers is a real bargain. And if comments on sneakers give you an indication of their worth, this one gets 4.63 stars on the Nike site.
5. Crocs Men's Denton Loafers
   Vendor: Crocs
   Price: $35 plus free shipping with coupon code "fallship"
   Lowest By:$20
   Is It Worth It?: If you hear Crocs in the summertime and think about plastic sandals, these loafers may broaden your horizons. This shoe is leather with the trademarked crolite in the footbed. One commenter described this as Crocs "best looking shoe," but take a look and judge for yourself.
