Chuckies (CLOSED)

The modus operandi at Chuckie’s is “the higher the better.” As such, the 22-year-old shoe boutique houses enough dangerously high-heeled and platformed designer shoes to set any footwear enthusiast’s heart aflutter. And though the steep price tags might be hard to justify, one look at the selection of Jimmy Choo, YSL and Camilla Skovgaard kicks is enough to make even the most responsible shopper go weak in the knees. The boutique is one of two locations (the other is on Madison Avenue); in addition to its plethora of up-to-the-minute platform pumps, peep-toe boots and flats, Chuckies hawks belts and bags by Miu Miu, Lanvin, Chloé and Stella McCartney.
