Walk This Way

Twelfth Street by Cynthia Vincent Shoes

Sometimes you wish you could walk in someone else’s shoes.

Like your ex-best friend, who just came into a very large inheritance after mean Grandma Murphy kicked the bucket. Or your kiss-ass coworker whose boyfriend just proposed to her with a three-carat stunner.

Everyone gets envy eyes. But when they sneak a peek at your new Twelfth Street by Cynthia Vincent shoes roles will reverse.

The incredibly stylish ballet flats, wedges, midheels, and stilettos come in beautiful designs (like brocade, skins, and metallics) and more than twenty colors. Seymore is a naughty secretary pump that comes in leather or suede in an array of shades. Turner is a chunky platform of python.

The whole line is girly and polished but in no way stuffy. And it strikes the perfect balance between vintage and modern.

Which will fill everyone who sees them with jealousy and desire.

Available at Dish, 541 Hayes Street, between Laguna and Octavia Streets (415-252-5997); or Dress, 2271 Chestnut Street, between Scott and Pierce Streets (415-440-3737).
