Best in Shoe

Sharing the glory has never been your strongest suit.

To hear you tell it, you taught yourself to read, speak French, and hand-toss that Digiorno’s thin crust you passed off as your own last night.

Something you can actually earn the bragging rights to: designing your own shoes. Ann Roth lets you do just that. Your choice of style, fabric, and pretty ribbon laces — the ideal spring espadrilles — are just clicks away, thanks to her ingenious (and easy to use) e-boutique.

Want to project good breeding and pitch-perfect taste? Pick the Pirouette in soft pink satin, with tulle trim and tiny bows. Long for a worldly, all-knowing effect? Choose the Nile for its croc-skin finish and carved wood-tipped laces.

The site even features a fun personality quiz with Roth’s suggestions for styles to consider based on your results.

Yet another great chance to hog all the credit. Even if it is just for having good taste.
