New York City Shopping

Footwear shopping in New York City

  1. A

    United Nude

    The flagship store is stocked with improbably beautiful and eye-catching footwear – flamboyant, classical, business-oriented and sporty. Whether you want strappy sandals, toweringly high stilettos or a solid pair of wedge-heeled pumps, you'll score here. The store has three basic groupings – Classics, Ultra Collection and Mono Series – and within those categories are a variety of shoe types.

    Verve

    The perfect spot for women who like to match their shoes to their bag – Verve carries both. Purses and shoes of all stripes and sizes are temptingly displayed in adorable couplings along the shelf-covered walls. Offerings from shoe wizards like Bettye Muller and Pura Lopez can be found, and watch out for Verve's sales in January.

    Giraudon

    This small shoe boutique has been selling finely made leather foot sculptures since way before the 'hood was hip. The designs are classic and have a touch of edginess, with both casual and glamorous options. It's a tiny space, but rarely crowded. The staffers are friendly and encouraging.

    Iris

    All the fine Italian footwear you could ever dream of owning is on display at Iris. Strap on some strappies from Chloe, Viktor & Rolf, Galliano, Marc Jacobs and Branquinho and break out the plastic to pay for it all.
