Deal Alert! Sunnies and Sneakers for Spring!

One of the things I hate the most is spending money on sunglasses and shoes. I usually thrash the heck out of my shoes and shades and they ain't cheap! That is of course unless you read North County Surf Blog and know where to find some deals to save some cash. The crew at Seshday this week are dishing up some Filtrate shades in all sizes and colors for $19.99 to $29.99. Might as well buy 2 'cause you know you're going to lose a pair anyway. And the amazing thing about Filtrate is not only the low prices, they also have polarized lenses to protect your eyeballs. The Zephyr shown above is just $23.99 and comes with:
  • Stainless Steel, high quality, strengthened hinges.
  • 100% UV Protection, with high quality polycarbonate for a more optically correct lens.
  • Polycarbonate lens is light weight and provides high impact resistance.
  • Polarised polycarbonate lenses block out 99% of the polarised light waves, (water, snow and the road), while also blocking 100% of the harmful UV 
(UVA UVB & UVC) rays.
  • High quality polycarbonate memory flex injected frames. Filtrate uses only high quality materials in all our frames to survive the good times and the bad.

So now that you have your sight protected, it's time to work on the opposite end of your temple- your feet. Take a gander at the Globe kicks above. Now go to the ATM and grab a $20. Next, purchase these solid shoes for just $19.95. Done. The 'Cheapskate' (clever name, get it?) features a lightweight canvas upper and vulcanized sole to give you the board control you need at a price you can afford. Features Include: Canvas upper with logo details and a rubber toe wrap. Soft textile lining and a padded textile footbed offer cushioned comfort and support all throughout the day. And a rubber outsole with a wavy tread pattern gives great traction and durability.

Globe also has some boardies (under $20) and tees (under $10) on sale so make sure to give those a glance too.

Or if you're gearing up for summer and shoes aren't your thing, then grab some Etnies sandals. The 'Playa' sandal above is just $18.75 (not sure why the weird price but they're good looking, well built, and inexpensive, so who cares). They've got:
  • Leather strap/cork footbed upper
  • Designed by the Malloys
  • Textile, cork or leather lined EVA footbed
  • Heat embossed leather straps with eco-friendly neoprene lining
  • Rubber outsole
Etnies also has some shoes on sale for under $30 so pick your poison! But do it quick as all sales on Seshday don't last forever and when they run out, your out of luck!
