Shoes Directory

BCBG Max Azria

770 Madison Ave., nr. 66th St., (various locations); 212-717-4225; bcbg.com

Brides who won't settle for simple go for BCBG's playful, sexy, and decidedly unconventional shoes. Choose from the "Incarte," a satin slingback heel in champagne ($198), or the "Maudie," a jeweled strappy in metallic gold ($225).

Beverly Feldman

7 W. 56th St., nr. Fifth Ave.; 212-484-0000; beverlyfeldmanshoes.com

Feldman's festive collection of eye-catching bridal shoes isn't as splashy as the rest of her designs, but it still provides a fun, fashionable twist. You'll find strappy sandals with Swarovski crystals or satin slingbacks with rhinestone buckles ($310).

Christian Louboutin

941 Madison Ave., nr. 74th St.; 212-396-1884; christianlouboutin.fr

Louboutin's blue-soled bridal shoes (a ready-to-wear rarity) aren't for bashful dressers; bridal styles are outrageously feminine and romantic. We love the white-satin slingback stilettos ($500).

Diana Broussard

22 Christopher St., nr. Waverly Pl.; 646-336-6365;dianabroussard.com

After designing for the likes of Christian Dior and Gucci, Broussard's Italian-produced line caters to ladies who abhor logo identification. Check out the light-colored, open-toe Benny ($675) in her newly opened West Village boutique.

Eric Shoes

1333 Third Ave., nr. 76th St., (various locations); 212-288-8250

Eric Shoes scours the city looking for fashionable designer shoes that are suitable for the big day. Try on styles from Cynthia Rowley, Vanessa Noel, Pan Caldi, and Stuart Weitzman. New styles arrive every few weeks, and prices range from $95 to $325.

Galo Shoes

825 Lexington Ave., at 63rd St., (various locations), 212-832-3922; galoshoes.com

Whether you're looking for sexy three-inch heels or plain old pumps, Galo is an excellent place to start for bridal footwear. The private label carries white dyeable-satin mules, pumps, and slingbacks at reasonable prices ($90 to $245).
