Foot Shocker

Rocio Ildemaro's Fall Shoe Collection

Your shoe stash has one foot in the grave. (RIP dear old soles.)

Rocio Ildemaro’s fall selection will breathe in some new life.

This season, the Dallas designer known for bespoke work debuts her first ready-to-wear collection. The shoes are still made by hand in Italy from upscale materials like ostrich, snakeskin, and patent leather. Only now there are no special fittings or toe-tapping turnaround waits.

Like usual, Ildemaro’s looks are sexy yet grounded in comfort. So pumps, stilettos, boots, lace-up booties, and not-your-mama’s Mary Janes are cushy and padded but pimped out with sassy accents like ankle chains, gold buttons, exposed stitching, and colorful piping.

They’re to die for.

Available at Gregory’s, 13350 Dallas Parkway, suite 1365 (972-490-1285 or gregorysshoes.com). To see styles, go to rocioildemaro.com.
