When it comes to a self-indulgent day out around NYC, no excursion is complete without a bit of shoe shopping. The island of Manhattan alone boasts an infinite selection of shoe boutiques catering to any possible footwear need. For a starting point, we narrowed our list down to six stylish shoe stores in Manhattan. Happy shoe shopping!
Pierre Hardy, 30 Jane St
Located in an old, unassuming carriage house, Pierre Hardy has all the classic charm you’d hope to find in a shoe store in Manhattan. This high-end French brand offers a gorgeously unique selection of shoes ranging from everyday platform sneakers to sky-high geometric-inspired stilettos.
Moulded Shoe, 10 E 39th St
Find your new favorite pair of shoes while supporting NYC’s family businesses at the same time. For more than 60 years, Moulded Shoe has been providing loyal Manhattan clients with bespoke services like custom-molded shoes and custom orthotic inserts – all, designed and produced in store.
Coclico, 275 Mott St
With a focus on environmental consciousness, Coclico defies the stereotype that eco-friendly fashion is limited to dowdy sandals and clunky footwear. This stylish shoe store is known for its elegant, modern shoes that are a timeless addition to any closet. Working with local artisans and tanneries near its family-run factory in Mallorca, Spain, Coclico maintains the highest standards of quality and sustainability.
Extra Butter, 125 Orchard St
If you’re shopping around for new gym shoes, head to this minimalist activewear boutique, ironically called Extra Butter. You really can’t have too many pairs of comfortable, casual shoes for all those miles walking (and shopping) around the city.
Josefinas, 252 Elizabeth St
A rising star on the designer footwear scene, Josefinas is a high-end Manhattan shoe store featuring a collection of irresistibly charming styles with adorable details. Their chic ballet flats are a must-have for any woman in NYC, and the faux fur “Hazel Cat” poufs are the ultimate way to give any old pair of walking shoes a whimsical update.
Manolo Blahnik, 31 W 54th St
Is there any shoe designer more iconic in New York City than Manolo Blahnik? Stash away a few dollars here and there, and you can be the proud owner of some Blahnik creations. But even if shoes from the famed designer are beyond your price point, any shoe fanatic can still enjoy a good browsing session at the boutique.
There are countless shoe stores in Manhattan! Which is your top pick?
