Reason #3 - Department shoe floors continue to grow, and grow, and grow.

Should we get you a diamond?” “No, No. Just get me a really big closet.”

Carrie Bradshaw isn’t the only one needing space to house her massive collection of shoes. Saks Fifth Avenue may be credited with starting the trend when they opened their uber vamped up shoe floor that famously “has its very own zip code”, but 10022-SHOE wasn’t the last footwear floor for department stores. Bigger is better it seems when it comes to shoes. With the prices rising, designs rotating on a constant spin cycle, and newbie young designers moving in everyday, there sure is a whole lot of ego to house in those shoe mansions. While department store shoe floors grow, so too do the online markets. Zappos, Endless, and Piperlime are just a few of the online shoe warehouse that have just about every shoe currently on market, plus a whole butch of past season shoes at bargain basement discounts.
