Grace

by Matt B on January 27th, 2008

I know nothing about shoes, except that I can never find them in my size. However, if you ladies know your shoes better than you know your friends, check out the new boutique on Damen Avenue, just north of Hot Chocolate: Grace.

Heels, flats, boots, pumps, wedges: shop owner Kristi Ryan has ditched the stale office work and collected all these and more at her splendid shoe store in Bucktown. Peruse among names like Anya Hindmarch, Missoni, London Sole, Jean-Michel Cazabat, and Luciano Padovan. Ryan has made it a priority to find shoes that are high-quality but little-known, so you may very likely find products that are exclusive to this store. You'll also find handbags and totes because, really, what's a good pair of shoes without a matching bag?

You may find yourself coming back again and again' same time, same Grace.
