Shoe shopping in New York City

    Harry’s Shoes

    Harry’s is a classic, staffed by classy gentlemen who actually measure your foot in one of those old-school metal contraptions and then wait on you patiently, making sure the shoe fits properly. You’ll find mostly sturdy, quality, comfort-trumps-style labels here, such as Merrel, Dansko, Birkenstock, Ecco, New Balance and Mephisto, as well as the vegan, ecofriendly Earth brand. But fashionable types will find fun stuff, too, mainly from Ugg, Taryn Rose and the like. Harry’s also has a new children’s store (2315 Broadway) one block north.

    Plaza, Too

    If Harry's Shoes is a bit too practical, find your high-fashion footwear at this brand-new outpost of the suburban favorite - it's the first and only NYC location. They've got fancy footwork from the likes of Marc Jacobs, Chloe, Adrienne, Cynthia Rowley, Sigerson Morrison and many more, and the prices are frequently reduced by nearly half at fabulous sales events.

    Tani

    This dapper little store is a neighborhood favorite for its wide selection of fashionable men’s and women’s shoes. Prices cover the spectrum (from $85 to $425), and the variety is impressive, with designs by Jeffrey Campbell, Chie Mahara, Pour la Victoire and YMC, along with many other brands you won’t find in big department stores.

    Amarcord

    A vintage store stocked with European vintage dresses, bags and shoes that the owner hunts down on the continent, Amarcord is a favorite for thrift-store mavens, and on weekends gets visits from Manhattanites too.
