Ladies, strap on your stilettos and get ready for the next two Saturdays’ Madison Avenue’s Walk in the Park, to benefit the Central Park Conservancy. On Saturday, October 13 from 11 am – 3 pm, 15 premier shoe-related boutiques on Madison will host a “Cinderella Saturday,” where when you shop for new shoes, you may be one of the lucky ones to win a free pair! Each participating store will make a donation to CPC in total amounting to $25,000. Participating stores are located on Madison Avenue between 57th and 86th Streets: Bally, Barneys New York, Calvin Klein, Charlotte Olympia, CH Carolina Herrera, Devi Kroell, DKNY, Fogal, Galo Shoes, Jimmy Choo, Longchamp, Max Mara, Porsche Design, Stuart Weitzman, and Stubbs & Wootton. Then, on Saturday, October 20 at 11 p.m., a 1/4 mile high-heeled “Walk in the Park” will commence at 11am led by those fancy-footed shoe brands and registered “walkers” who donated $25 or more to benefit CPC. To join in the fun and contribute to the cause, register at centralparknyc.org. For more information, please email Madison Avenue BID at [email protected] , or call them at 212 861-2055.

We were so excited about a shoe-focused event that we ran right to Barneys and poured over every inch of their footwear selection to find our favorites in every type of shoe, from casual flats to rain boots to high-heeled evening sandals. ‘Tis the season of darker neutrals, so we kept our color palette in that range and gave you tons of options for the best-dressed feet in the city for every fall footwear occasion!
