Shoevenile Delinquent

Dru New York Shoes

They’ve been suffocated, smushed, and forced to swelter in dark, dank spaces.

You treat your feet like first-rate felons. Only they’re doing time for crimes they didn’t commit. 

This season, appeal for emancipation with Dru New York shoes, a new collection of slip-ons from former Parsons student and Coach expat Tiffany Chantra.

Designed for long days of city strolling and even longer nights of party hopping, Dru’s spring collection breaks style laws left and right. (Comfort and cuteness — is that even legal?)

Put (freshly pedicured) toes on parole with a colorful polka-dot pump. Bail out those bunions in canvas flats. Liberate the dogs with some patent leather wedges.

No one will suspect you’re a smooth criminal.

Looks like they’re gonna let you walk.

Available at P.45, 1643 North Damen Avenue, between North and Wabansia Avenues (773-862-4523 or p45.com). To see styles, go to drunewyork.com.
