Fantasy Footsie

Girls Love Shoes Online Boutique

Here’s the thing, boys.

Girls love shoes because no matter the scuffle with bad hair days, hormonal breakouts, water retention, or the likes of you, shoe size remains the same (thank the lordy them toes don’t have hips.)

Girls love Girls Love Shoes because the little Ludlow Street boutique is a color-coordinated, vintage shoe bonanza. And it’s just launched its online boutique, ready for scouring all the livelong day.

The 250-plus offerings, updated daily, range from pumps to peep-toes to boots to designer heels, dating from the 1930s to the ’90s. Since vintage sizing can vary from pair to pair, shoe measurements are provided (width, length, height) along with guidelines on how to measure your own foot and ensure a proper match (like eBay, there are no returns).

There’s even a separate archive of more than 4,000 pairs ready to be rented out to designers, stylists, and costumers for projects, shows, and shoots.

Oh, boys: That’s how you get her eyes to light up.
