Lucia

http://www.jargol.com/images/stores/us/ny/brooklyn/lucia_1_web.jpg

Depending on how you look at it, Lucia is one less reason to go into the city and more reason to trek on out of it. For Brooklynites, the shop lets them buy all the sexy high-heels, cute flats, sleek slingbacks and beachy sandals they can handle. The selection is extensive, varied and features well-known, but smaller shoe designers. For Manhattanites the store is a haven of more reasonably...

Re-Mix

http://www.jargol.com/images/stores/us/ca/los_angeles/re_mix_1_web.jpg

Okay, so we have become somewhat adept at shopping at vintage stores. But, the one remaining roadblock in our psyche is vintage shoes. We've seen some amazing shoes, but we keep thinking gym sock smell and that's the end of that. So, it was liberating to discover Re-Mix. Re-Mix carries new vintage shoes. That means they sell great remainders from the forties to the seventies. In...

Sassanova

http://www.jargol.com/images/stores/us/dc/washington/sassanova_1_web.jpg

Once you've walked into a hundred shoe stores it's tough to distinguish one eight hundred dollar shoe made of parrot feathers from another. This is definitely not the case at Sassanova. The store may have lots of bright lights and expensive shoes, but there's room for you to relax and chat as you try to justify orange shoes (we say if you match it with at least one and a half...

Smash

If you're feeling to old to wear neon sneakers but are too young to wear tasseled loafers, then you're probably just the right age for the shoes at Smash. The shoe shop has a selection of shoes, for difference purposes, that don't lean too young or old. The sneakers for men and women are fun but you won't look like a tool in them if you're over 20.

Wish

Reader Suggested: Wish, a boutique in Atlanta, Georgia, just reopened its doors under new ownership and a huge remodel. The store is housed in a Carnaige library and pays homage to that by the use of books in their shoe gallery and by using library cards inside books for gift certificates. The architectural integrity of the building has been preserved and taken into as much consideration as the selection of...
