Harry's Shoes

Profile

Catering to generations of New York City residents on the Upper West Side and beyond, Harry's Shoes has earned deep loyalty with an extensive selection of European and American designer and comfort footwear, personalized service, and casual-but-circus-like atmosphere. Divided into two departments, the airy shop showcases women's shoes in front and men's footwear on the left. Socks, stockings, shoe polish and other accessories are also available. Be sure to take note of the store's strict return policy, which is posted every few feet: Unworn items may be exchanged within ten days and refunds are not given. — Raven Snook

Key Departments

Men's Shoes

Shoppers don’t have to wait for help in this woefully under-patronized section, which is stocked with the likes of Timberland and Uggs.

Women's Shoes

The biggest department in the store boasts the widest selection. Ladies can choose from famous brand names (Bruno Magli, Cole Haan) or more obscure lines with offbeat styles (Naot, Crocs). It's less Sex and the City, more sensible in the city.
