Come here for shoes you won't find anywhere else in Seattle. Designs reflect owner Dayna Grubb's unique take on fashion. She offers exclusivity on the aggressively urban creations of Alain Giraudon (he's French, lives in New York and manufactures in Portugal) and the American, handmade, mold-to-your-feet, get-them-wet trekking shoes from Aurora (available in three widths). For a playful addition to your shoe wardrobe, check out the soft, ice cream colors of Goffredo Fantini's collection and the dazzling architectural designs, in earthy colors, from Cydwoq.
A pair of Goffredo Fantini's colorful, strappy sandals; stylish, urban walking shoes by designer Alain Giraudon; and a Vibram-soled traveling shoe from Aurora. Prices are in the $100 to $250 range.
