Katsura Itami Shoes

Some days (new haircut day, Fridays) you feel six feet tall. Others (ex’s birthday, April 15), not so much.

In either case, Katsura Itami has a shoe for you. With an array of heel heights, they offer solutions for all types of self-esteem moments.

The zebra-print and woven-pattern flats, both adorned with metal grommets, are for when you’re already standing on top of the world. The yellow and brown suede and leather heels with tassels and rope trim and the black pumps with crisscross straps are perfect for when you need a bit of elevation.

All pairs feature flattering rounded toes and deep cuts on the sides.

For those of us whose feet can always use a little pick-me-up.

Available at Hu’s Shoes, 3005 M Street NW, between 30th and 31st Streets (202-342-0202).
