Animal prints can be a hit-and-miss affair but these Midas Felicia Rocha snakeskin shoes are definitely more of a hit.

In general animal prints remind me of middle-aged cougars at my local pub chugging on house wine, cackling at the tops of their voices and grabbing at blokes half their age, which is always a good look, but these Midas shoes are somewhat more understated than aforementioned ladies.

The heel doesn’t look too high either, which is always a bonus when you’re planning on wearing the shoes to work and don’t want to end up hobbling around like a cripple by the end of the day.

The Midas Felicia Roche snakeskin shoes sell for $278.

I love me a good shoe sale and there are a couple of good ones starting today.

Sister companies Mollini and Midas have commenced a clearance sale - they are both owned by the same company, which also owns Evelyn Miles, Scooter and Shoo Biz.

Prices start from $70 at Mollini and $125 at Midas. The shoes pictured here are the Penny style from Mollini and are going for $70.

Check out the Mollini sale here and the Midas sale here.

Plus - an extra bonus for anyone who has bothered to read this far. If you’re in Sydney or Melbourne, you can score 15% off storewide at Peter Alexander today (if you’re in Sydney), tomorrow (Melbourne Central and Doncaster) and Saturday (Chadstone).

Tomorrow is going to be a dream come true for shoe lovers with news that Midas and Mollini are reducing all shoes by 40% for one day only.

Midas and Mollini are owned by the same company, with Midas being the high-end brand and Mollini the mid-range.

Love, love, love the Lola shoes at Mollini, as pictured here, which will come down to $82.80 from $138 with the 40% discount.

I am kicking myself that I am two days away from payday and am attempting to formulate a way around it. So far my options include a) rob a convenience store, b) sell most of the blood in my body and c) max out my credit card again (most likely).

Oh the humanity!
