What’s New: Footloose and Fancy Free

April 1, 2013

Take a moment and ask yourself, what do your shoes say about you? As we all know, shoes are an extension of ones style and much like anything else we adorn it speaks volumes about our character before we’ve even had the opportunity to uttered a word. So, are you the hipster, the maverick, or the Bay St tycoon? No matter how you identify yourself, you’re a multifaceted individual and your style should reflect that.

Just like you wouldn’t necessarily wear a 3-piece suit to the grocery store, why would you wear the same pair of shoes to every occasion? Mixing and matching is a great way to breath new life into your daily style, not to mention having options automatically increases the lifespans of the shoes you own. It’s time for some spring cleaning and while you consider replacing or adding to your collection, we recommend you check out these great new arrivals from John Varvatos, Ted Baker, Matteo Massimo, Wolverine, Luca Vero, and Tiger of Sweden.
