Shoes of Spring in NYC

Today the April showers have decided to have one last hurrah before May comes. But let that not deter us from excitement about springtime shoes.

On a recent stroll through the high end department stores in New York City, I snapped some pictures of shoe friends old and new that are out in the stores.

First up, of course, how can I pass by the now-infamous Marc Jacobs heel-less shoe? It’s on display at Bergdorf’s in all its oddly-shapen glory.

(those are my MUCH comfier Converse sneakers there reflected on the pavement, and believe me, I won’t be making that trade anytime soon)

At 10022-SHOE, the shoe floor of Saks that’s so big it needs its own zip code, corset styling is the rage. Chanel’s combined it with their classic quilted pattern in a variety of colors.

Though I must say I’m partial to this more literal interpretation of the corset, with ivory waxed canvas peeking through the laces.

Don’t want such crazy high heels (because I sure don’t)? Then how about these classy little loafer-inspired ballet flats.

Or my very favorite shoe spotted on the whole floor, this flat Prada boot.

It’s a flat! It’s an ankle strap! It’s Super Boot!

Tell me this wouldn’t be the perfect footwear for a really well-styled lady superhero. If my wallet had the ability to stretch indefinitely, this boot would be coming home to my closet, that’s for sure.

    I think I found a good shoe blog. Yes, I,m male. I am tottaly fascinated by womens shoes. I would not call it a fetish though since I have not been diagnosed by a medical doctor though lol. I,m also a business/gentleman who enjoys the finer things in life, you know, like Grey Poupon and let's say a five inch high set of designer heels. There is no thing sexier than watching a women walk in heels. It'sa magical transformation once those heels go on. I know they are not good for your bones and this and that but like everything else moderation is the key. Are there any other males on here. Are males welcome here? This could be very interesting!!!

    Carrie, I didn’t take pics of the Miu Miu insect shoes, but only because we’d posted about them more extensively back here.

    But, oh, they were fun to look at in person, weren’t they?
