Manolos for Dancers

The premiere shoe of Broadway pushes couture front and center. Instead of keeping your focus towards the audience, girlfriends… look down at your fab new shoes instead. This week’s trend proves there really can be pumps that rival Carrie Bradshaw's lurking around NYC corners.

“Life! Beauty! Art! Per que no, eh? As far as I know, ‘You do only live once,’ so why not go out looking great and feeling great?” Straight from the mouth of shoemaker extraordinaire Phil LaDuca, LaDuca shoes have bedazzled the feet of a bazillion Broadway stars, currently seen in Wicked, West Side Story, 9 to 5, Shrek, The Little Mermaid, Mary Stuart and more.

If they can dance in ‘em, you know this line is made for walkin’. These couture heels are wearable and walkable! (running for a cab is cool too) SATC fans, are you hearing this? The Italian craftsmanship poron padding and impeccable construction make shoes that women only dream about. The La Duca artistry and finesse make your high heel dreams a reality. We can’t stop saying “Bellissima!”

LaDuca’s new line also includes a bridal collection. If you’re getting ready to say “I do”, get a glimpse of the three styles shown to the left. (No bridezillas, please.) When you dance with your dad, you’ll know that his hard earned dollars for your first tutu came in handy.

Receive your next paycheck with pride from the backup act you did last month, and take it to LaDuca to indulge in the one pair of Italian shoes that’ll make you feel like a star. For dancers, it’s a much better choice to indulge on a LaDuca than a Manolo. They are a splurge, but the prices don’t even come close to the $895 Suede Fringe Booties from Blahnik. (Psst. LaDuca was also one of the 12 fab vendors in the TONY swag bags.)

Go ahead, treat yourself. After all the barefoot dancing and traipsing around to auditions, your tootsies deserve a 4-inch treat. Remember, you only live once.
