Mooshoes

Go to the Lower East Side in Manhattan and saunter down to 78 Orchard Street, and you are at Mooshoes. They have brands like Matt & Natt, Novacas, Simple, Vegetarian Shoes and more. It is packed with shoes and bags, and the great part about them is that they are not made from leather and are strictly vegan. The staff will guide you through and also help you to buy real designer shoes that do not cost the earth.

John Fluevog Shoes

While you are in Manhattan go to 250 Mulberry Street in Nolita. John Fluevog Shoes has Malibran shoes, but a shoe bought in this store is a confirmed designer buy. The shoes are always of the latest designs and extremely comfortable. They will even help you out if you need to get your boots stretched out or replacement heels for the ones that have worn out. Their customer service is so good that you will make it a point to visit them again and again.

Sodafine

Head Over Heels

While in Brooklyn go to 2462 Nostrand Avenue to visit Head over Heels for an excellent collection of well crafted Italian designer shoes.
