Shoe Week With Dr. Stephanie

The Perfect Shoe...

The never-ending, graceful, long heel.

The smell of them.

The details that drew you in.

The velvety-soft dust bag.

The huge carry bag to make you feel nothing short of spectacular.

My heart rate is exponentially increasing even as I start typing!

I *might* be going out on a limb here but I am pret-ty sure you feel the same way too. The endless love affair we have with our heels is a true, unfaltering, pure love.

It is officially spring shoe season….which I personally like to refer to as time-to-show-off-my-pedi-in-the-highest-heels-that-don’t-completely-destroy-my-feet season.

So, because it is absolutely gorge outside and we can now wear our said true-loves without the fear of having them destroyed by the natural elements of our city’s concrete jungle (sidewalk puddles, muddy taxicabs, and rainy patios anyone?) it is time to feature some of the city’s best offerings for Spring/Summer 09.

All this week I am visiting hot shoe stores in and around Toronto (in person and online). The shoes featured must adhere to the following criteria:

1. The shoes featured must meet the Dr. Stephanie Stiletto Rules (for a refresher click here)
2. They must be stunning.
3. They must be comfortable.

I will be looking at all different types: heels, wedges, flats, booties, pointy’s, peep-toes, rounded, and one of my new favorites - the almond toe.

I will visit stores with different price points, and will give you details on cost, where to buy them, and why they are Dr. Stephanie approved.

So without further delay...welcome to Toronto Shoe Week with Dr. Stephanie!!
