What is it like, you ask? Well, it's this girl's idea of heaven. Shoes as far as the eye can see: small shoes, big shoes, short shoes, tall shoes. Everywhere.
Top Shoes was a discovery I made about 10 years ago, while visiting UCLA with my brother, who was hoping to go there for school. I stumbled upon it, and it was love at first sight. This chaotic, packed shoe store is LA's best-kept secret. Brand-name shoes at half the retail price--no joke. I have bought shoes there for WELL below retail value and then seen them for WELL above retail value in other shops.
I do not make a trip to LA without going to my favorite shoe store. I will not even buy shoes for awhile if I know I will be going to LA soon, because I usually buy three or four pairs while I am there. It's that good, people. I am not even kidding around here. It's a shoe lover's dream. While you will not find Manolos and Choos there, you will find brands like BCBG, Nine West, Kenneth Cole, Steve Madden, and many more great shoe makers!
Buy a pair for me!
