Saks Fifth Avenue
What looks good on women of all ages and sizes? A killer pair of shoes. Our favorite place to splurge is 10022-SHOE, the recently expanded shoe department at Saks Fifth Avenue. With chandeliers, plush couches and museum-quality displays, the lower level salon feels luxe in both accommodations and inventory—there are more than 150 styles and 5,000 pairs of shoes in stock. 10022-SHOE is home to a large selection of timeless brands, including Chanel, Christian Louboutin and Jimmy Choo, but you’ll also find fashion-forward options from Céline and Givenchy, as well as avant-garde aesthetics from the likes of Nicholas Kirkwood and Sophia Webster.
