Locals' Favorite Shoe Shops

My personal list of favorite shoe shops is pretty small, as I am picky and not rich, making a good shoe shop hard to come by.

I am actually a fan of Urban, NineWest and the like, but with this list I wanted to include places that are stylish, affordable, and a bit off the beaten track.

I'd love to include your suggestions!

1. Shoe Market
160 North 6th Street
Brooklyn, NY 11211-3202

This place is amazing - they stock quality shoes that aren't too highly priced, and they are always right on the money when it comes to current trends.
2. The Shoe Box
537 3 Avenue
New York, NY 10016-4168

Above is just one of three locations in Manhattan. It's true that there are a lot of highly priced pairs here, but this store often has amazing sales (the only time I go). I've brought home pairs of Sam Edleman's and DVF's for 50% off.

Thanks for the list. I don't buy shoes that often, but the next time I do, I'll take a look at those on your list and see which one pleases me more.

@BroadwayBk no DSW???so love their flagship NYC store in union square. I have scored some great pairs there especially since I have feet that are hard to fit....

I'd be very happy to see this list fleshed out, since I don't really know where to get good quality shoes in the city. Being an arched-eyebrow European snob on the subject of good quality shoes, I would love to actually find a decent place. all of the shoes I own--I kid you not--were bought in Europe.

@uptowngirl Gasp. You buy shoes online? How is that possible? Don't you need to try them on first?

@uraniumfish I am notorious for buying things online and then returning them if I dont like the fit etc that's why I seem to patronize DSW they have easy returns at their stores.

Two other well regarded shoe shops in the city seem to be -
Tip Top Shoes
155 West 72 Street
New York, NY 10023
(212) 787-4960

Harry's Shoes
2299 Broadway
New York, NY 10024
(212) 874-2034

Both these stores carry a wide array of brands and have extended ,hard to find sizes as well. In fact Harry's even carries a line of Vegan shoes for those folk who abhor wearing leather.

@uptowngirl: Harry's Shoes. You found my shoe store. :) Just kidding. I have the same first name. Any time I can get a good deal on shoes I am all for going there. Thanks for the info.

@uptowngirl I've actually never been to DSW. It seems like a big, warehouse-y store, am I right? I tend to gravitate to smaller shops for some reason, though I'm not opposed to the large.

@BroadwayBK it is a big warehouse type store but I usually check out there collection online and head out to the store when I want to return/ exchange a pair that I have ordered onliin . Recently they had a huge Gucci handbag sale .. it was a real blow out Gucci bags for $300 ..needless to add they sold out online within seconds ..I am not a big monogram bag fan but I can think of tons of friends around the world who would have been happy to pay out the 'moolah' for the said bags..

@BroadwayBk I am actually in love with Tory Burch's peeptoe wedges but really dont want to shell out the $256 for them if you during your shoe shop meanderings do come across anything similair do let me know..
