How to Rent Designer Shoes

A love for designer shoes is a problem if you can't afford to purchase them. The newest styles from your favorite designers can cost more than your rent. But just like you rent your apartment, you can also rent a pair of designer shoes. If you absolutely need a pair of Jimmy Choos or Manolos for your next event, you should check it out.

Instructions

1. Poke around a small, local boutique if you're just a regular person without ties to the fashion industry. The owners might be willing to lend out some of their pricey footwear, especially if you're going to wear them someplace where you could promote the store.

2. Check out a website such as Montana Rader (see additional resources), which usually rents to photographers and models. However, they're also willing to rent to those who pay the monthly fee, along with an extra charge for the shoes. These sites generally only let you have the shoe for a couple of days with a lot of restrictions.

3. Read the contract before you finalize any rental. If you violate any the of company's restrictions you may end up having to pay full price for the designer shoes anyway.

4. Dig through the stock of a local consignment shop, where you could find designer shoes at a discounted price. You can sell the items back to the store when you're finished with them.
