shoe market: a mecca for great (and cheap) shoes
as you may have noticed, i have been spending more and more time in williamsburg which has been great. before starting this blog, i had only visited that part of the borough a handful of times and didn’t really know its nooks and crannies. i am guessing this is because i was a little too old or a little too busy (working 80 hours a week at a law firm can do that to you) when williamsburg became the in spot, and then i had kids and that really threw me out of the mix. however, now that some of those hipsters are carrying around some toddlers it’s a little easier to visit and not feel like an alien, and the neighborhood even has a few children-centered destinations like spacecraft that k and i cannot wait to visit.
while i generally find the food is a little more miss than hit in williamsburg, the shopping is really phenomenal in almost every category, which is why i keep coming back here maybe a little too often. so this week’s williamsburg find is shoe market which had been on my list for quite a while, and is an offshoot of the super popular, trendy boutique mini minimarket. with a great range of relatively affordable (most pairs that i saw ran between $80 and $150, and often on the lower side of that), shoe market had so many cute pairs that i easily could have bought a few if i hadn’t been worried about my summer camp bills.
some of my favorite sandals included gladiators by diba and the very lovely worishofer’s pictured below which i do think i must have. other sandals (and there were many more than this) included those by lovely people, bronx so today, seychelles and marais usa. shoe market also had more business casual appropriate styles by jeffrey campbell and mariana by golc, as well as some cute flats by pink studio and rocket dog as well as the ever comfortable dansko.
shoe market had a few items for the boys like docksiders (not really my favorite look but i guess ironic if you wear them in bushwick), keds and havana joes. they also carry flip flops by havaianas (for kids and adults), some sunglasses, purses, and even some matt bernson cuffs sold exclusively at shoe market. what was really great about this shoe store, other than the prices, was the real range from the super trendy to what i could wear to work and for that reason shoe market is a keeper. shoe market, 160 north 6th street at bedford avenue, brooklyn, new york, .
