SHOES BURN RUBBER Very cool place to get the latest in tennis shoes—or do you kids call them sneakers nowadays? Anyhow, the smallish boutique is loaded with trendy rubber soles here, perfect for a round of mulberry bush or a game of kick the can. CHESTER BOOT SHOP They’ve got a belt buckle that’s the size of a dinner plate! Don’t get me wrong, they’ve got a ton of boots too—from cowboy do-si-dos to every Doc Marten ever made. One of a kind boots for work or play is what makes Chester a machismo legend in Roseville. Did I mention that they’ve got a belt buckle that’s the size of a dinner plate? CITY SLICKER SHOES The most awe-inspiring collection of gators on the face of the earth, in colors you didn’t think shoes could be. There is also a huge selection of about every other fashionable footwear style known to man (OK, they have a smaller but important selection for women as well). They carry quality leather shoes, most of which are imported directly from Italy, where everyone knows the best shoes come from. You’ll find athletic shoes and sandals as well. City Slickers has always been ground-zero for Detroit sole. DOUBLE UP Sneaker fiends could take the view that Dbl-up is a full on sneaker store, plus a bunch of other contemporary urban street wear. There are big brands from JB, Classicslab, A Life, and Nike mixed with rising stars like Creative Recreation, Public Royalty and Dekline. IMELDA’S CLOSET If you love shoes, we mean really love shoes, then you must treat yourself to Imelda’s. Fabulous European shoes with names and styles you won’t find anywhere else await your anxious feet. INCOGNITO Sole Searching? Look no more! It’s all here: Rock city’s style setter for 25 years has always put a major emphasis on sole! Featuring a collection of over five hundred of the best men’s and women’s shoes and boots ranging from cool, casual, edgy, elegant, fun, funky, high fashion footwear! Step in and take a sneak(er) peak at what will always be the next new thing. So put your dancing shoes on and get on the good foot!. LIFT Spare, unassuming, but oh-so-hipster cool, Lift carries a small stock of classic sneakers and casual shoes from no-brainer brands like Lacoste. LORLA'S Lorla’s is a small shop that’s big on style. Inside this intimate boutique in quaint downtown Northville, you’ll find handbags from floor to ceiling, and jewelry from around the world. And the shoes! Lorla’s hand-selects styles for a wide range of women, from sporty to stiletto — with unexpected must-have finds in between. Lorla’s also hosts private Shoe Parties featuring wine, cheese and great deals. Round up a group of friends for these celebrity-style shopping events, and a portion of sales will go toward your dream shoe purchase. Lorla’s also offers Club Card memberships for regular shoppers. Look for events, sales and online coupons on the website MY SHOE CLOSET The mission at My Shoe Closet is to blend style, comfort and affordability. The Royal Oak shop carries men’s and women’s footwear that will take you everywhere —from a backyard picnic to an inaugural ball. Just kick back on the leather couches and Rod will make you feel right at home with his friendly, old-fashioned service. Men will find shoes and boots by Kenneth Cole, Donald Pliner and Steve Madden. Women can shop trendy handbags, along with shoes from Nina, Charles David, Via Spiga and many more. Both sexes love the comfort of lines like Carlos Santana, Naturalizer, Hush Puppies and Born. Open since 2006, My Shoe Closet has become a convenient stop for customers who need to find the right fit for the workday or a night out. ROBY SHOES This corner was once Detroit’s shoe-shopper paradise and thanks to Roby, it still is, especially if you have larger feet, or happen to be a drag queen. They also have the largest pantyhose we have ever seen. SAVVY SOLES On the Fashionable Ferndale strip, Savvy Soles caters to the girly girl, with an inventory full of glittery jewels and jewel tones (on purses, belts and shoes) and a décor straight out of Moulin Rouge. SHOE ENVY Shoe Envy is the new ultimate girly-girl boutique. The pink walls and leopard furnishings set the scene, while the perfect mix of shoes, handbags and jewelry take center stage. Designers include BCBGirls, Jessica Simpson, Charles David, Matiko, Chinese Laundry and many more. Private Shoe parties are available for girls’ nights out upon request. SOLE SISTERS Voted #1 Women's Shoe Store by WDIV's "Click on Detroit,” but Sole Sisters is a lot more than a slice of shoe paradise. These cute boutiques are all about style, also featuring fashion-forward jewelry, purses and the occasional top to match the shoes; there are a lot of trendy choices, yet it is still moderately priced and service oriented as only a small boutique can be, with the personal attention you get in an intimate setting. What more could one want than an award winning shoe selection and all the fashion choices to coordinate? How about a Shoe Party? As the local originators of the Shoe Party idea, they let you throw your own private shoe bash, complete with complimentary wine and hors d’oeuvres— your guests save 10%, and you get 10% of the sales to get yourself some sweet free merchandise. STELLA About the size of an actual shoe box, this teensy shop manages to pack in hundreds (okay, tens) of styles, from boho cork wedges to haute couture-inspired stiletto boots. TALL-EEZ More an institution than a store, they’ve been in holding down the fort on Woodward since, like forever. These are shoes for the larger-footed lady. TENDER If you thought life couldn’t get any better than Tender’s already amazing designer footwear selection, check out the new addition to the store, devoted entirely to shoes, shoes, glorious shoes and stylish bags! Choose fab footwear and hot handbags from the likes of Lanvin, Valentino, Jimmy Choo, Miu Miu, Derek Lam, Diana Broussard, Golden Goose, Anya Hindmarch and Zac Posen. Your wardrobe will thank you. Z COIL: A SPRING IN YOUR STEP A slightly different twist on shoes, these springy wonders will have you leaping for joy. Engineered to ease foot, back, knee and leg pain in a wide array of wonderful styles for men and women. © 2008 Guide to Detroit, LLC |
