Manhattan Shoe Guidelines

Jun 29, 2009 | 0 comments |

Last evening over dinner with a friend who was recently transplanted to Manhattan, a topic of discussion was shoes. More closely, it was a discussion about expensive shoes destroyed on subway grates, brick streets and sidewalk cracks.

Next to Milan, New Yorkers have probably the best shoe options around. The shoe department at Saks even has its own zip code! The frequent mishaps for a pair of heels has led to a saturation of repair shops that makes the spacing of Starbucks locations seem spread out. The problem has even sparked entrepreneurs to create inventive solutions such as the “Smart Heel” device.

While the danger is real, the solution doesn’t resemble the commuting scenes in the movie Working Girl. Instead if Nikes, Manhattanites will don more comfortable, yet stylish shoes while riding the subway and carrying heavy laptops. Flip flops are a summer seasonal favorite. You’ll find the real shoes stored in filing cabinets and under desks.
