Tani (CLOSED)

Between the killer selection of flats and couches so comfortable you sink right in, you’ll want to try on shoes all day long at this upscale footwear emporium. Tani carries off-the-beaten-path international labels, such as Chie Mihara booties, Ash heels and Bensimon kicks, in neutral colors that easily integrate into wardrobes for everyday wear. If you like your Superga sneakers in flashy metallic gold or silver, hit the Broadway outpost, which carries many of the same brands in bolder patterns and brighter colors. This is one of those rare stores you can drag your boyfriend to: Guys will appreciate the beautifully crafted dress shoes, boots and sneakers from Rachel Comey, Gorilla and Gola. If the price tags ($50–$400) are too steep for your budget, hit the back room for sale items marked 25 to 70 percent off.
