Accomplice Shoe Store

Best friends are forever? As if.

Remember the “pal” who stole your ten-speed? So much for pinkie swears. And what about the chummy co-worker who told the guy in sales you had a crush on him? Gone, too.

Maybe you’re just looking for camaraderie in the wrong places. Try the newly opened shoe store Accomplice. With its chocolate-colored velvet chairs, pink pillows, and decadent chandelier, it’s more swank ladies club than shoe boutique.

And there’s more to it than just the friendly atmosphere. The store sells exclusive shoe brands like Cynthia Rowley, Nancy Nancy, and Constanca Basto, as well as accessories by Citrine by the Stones, Bijoux Luck, AV Max, Lodis, and Rachel Abroms.

Finding a new best friend was never easier — even if it’s just a pair of great shoes.

Thank goodness those’ll never walk out on you.

Accomplice, 3699 McKinney Avenue, in the West Village (214-520-8535).
