You’ve probably heard about the different shoe clubs online. There’s SHOEDAZZLE, JUSTFAB, SOLESOCIETY and others. SHOEMINT is one of the newer venues. As of this post, they aren’t officially open, but they have released a few teasers in anticipation of their grand opening in January.
Most shoe clubs have a figure head. SHOEDAZZLE has Kim Kardashian, and JUSTFAB has Kimora Lee Simmons. SHOEMINT’s figurehead is Rachel Bilson. I don’t know much about her at the moment, but I will soon know if she has a talent for picking beautiful women’s shoes or not. She has teamed up with Nicole Chavez and Steve Madden to create the shoe lines. They are advertising that their shoes will be of superior quality and higher standards compared to the other shoe clubs.
Here’s how it works:
Once you’ve signed up, every month you will receive an email from ShoeMint showcasing the shoes available for purchase. Once you purchase your first pair, you will still receive the monthly shoe offerings, but unless you opt out before a certain period of time for that month, you will be charged $79.98.
I will be purchasing and reviewing ShoeMint shoes to let you know if they are worth the money. Leave me a comment and let me know what you think about ShoeMint.

I love Rachel. We are about the same size. My friends say I could be her double. I love the first selections! Can’t wait to see the whole line this January!

I like the shoes they show on their site and I want to buy. Where do they ship?

I “pulled the trigger” and bhguot the wine colored Paulines, but agree that the selection was a bit lacking and the heel height was outrageous on the selections. If I wear 6″ heels I’m 6’2″! Crazy! Not to mention impractical for everyday use. I keep looking at the leopard print wedges but feel like they are too trendy to get much wear out of. I’ll be interested to see what month 2 looks like…

Thanks for visiting! ShoeMint ships to anywhere in the USA and Canada.

I love shoemint so far. I’ve been a member of other shoe of the month clubs (Sole Society, Just Fab, Shoe Dazzle, etc.) I signed up for Shoemint as soon as I saw it. I cancelled my Shoe Dazzle and I opt out of Sole Society most of the time. Just Fab I opt out sometimes, but most of the time I get stuff from them. I bought from Shoemint and I like their shoes so far.

Hey Beth,
I I’m not saying that because you’re my favorite cousin. 
Great reviews so far. You know your shoes

Shoemint looks like they have nice shoes. The quality looks better than the other shoe clubs. I don’t know if I will try them though. I tried Shoedazzle when they first came out and I was disappointed. It was hard to cancel my membership. I bought from Justfab and liked their shoes better, but I did get a pair I didn’t like. They were good about me returning them, but I haven’t had the budget lately to buy more from them. If I buy shoes from Shoemint, it will take me twice as long to save up for them. I do like the look of the Shoemints though.

Shoemint looks very promising! There are a lot of good reviews so far. I haven’t heard anyone complaining about them yet and if something is bad you usually hear about it quickly. Of course I haven’t done a search for shoemint complaints.
I am one who doesn’t jump on the bandwagon quickly. I didn’t try the shoe clubs till the first one had been out about a year, and when I did try one out it was Justfab.
If it’s true about the shoemint shoes looking a lot like the Steve Madden shoes you can get at brick and mortar stores, I can see that being a problem for them. If I see a shoemint heel I like and I want it right away, I’m going to go to the store and get it immediately, instead of waiting for delivery, unless the Steve Madden shoe is way more expensive.

ShoeMint quality looks great from what I have seen. Their styles seem quite limited though. Maybe that’s what they are going for, rare and limited. My husband says Harley Davidson does that. It keeps people wanting more.

I love Shoemint shoes! I have been signed up as soon as I heard about Shoemint. Rachel Bilson is a sweetie and I love Steve Madden designs! I look forward to next months selections.

Hi,
I really enjoy your reviews. I thinks it’s a great idea to compare different clubs with Shoemint to see who wins.
I am guessing you have quite a few shoes!
Would you be interested in donating flats (if you have any).
http://www.pscenterstageplayers.com would be grateful. Email me if you could help.

I am afraid that I had no idea I was signing up fpr a shoe CLUB!?? However, I called as soon as I looked at the slip in the box explaining I would be buying shoes every month. Howeve, I called to opt of and was assured that I would be taken out.However. I was charged $79.98 for shoes Inever ordered or wanted. Right now I am in the process of getting this charge of my bill.

Please do some research before you sign up for Shoemint. I am very furious with their business practice and have been trying to get my proper refund back for months now. Please visit the Better Business Bureau reviews before you make any purchases from Shoemint.com.

I personally haven’t had a big issue with ShoeMint, but I want to make this review site fair. If you look at BBB complaints, there’s only six in the last 3 years. For any online company that does huge amounts of transactions, I have to think that’s a small number of complaints.

At first I thought ShoeMint was great. I found a pair of their shoes on pinterest and loved them – bought them instantly! In my excitement I did not fully read all the rule and regulations and was charged a $79.98 fee to be a member. This is partially my fault for not fully reading all their rules and regulations, but I do wish they were a little more forth coming with the charge. I have contacted the costumer service rep and they have agreed to reimburse the $79.98, but they were very rude and definitely let me know I would no longer have access to their website.
Lesson to everyone: Read ALL the fine print!
