Madison

Located in the hip westside Brentwood Village, Madison is a women's store dedicated solely to shoes. For the luxury footwear designers, Madison is where women like to treat their feet. Beautifully leather crafted moto style boots by Fiorentini + Baker, booties from Milano, Italy's Officine Creative and Casadei's foldover boots are fall wardrobe hits this year. This season gals will be wearing laceless Officine oxfords, which are offered in different leather finishes and colors. For typically warm autumn days in L.A., sandals are a great transitional shoe — brown leathers from Calleen Cordero and multi-colored leather buckled sandals by Silvano Sassetti. Madison's apparel store is located off of San Vicente Blvd. in Brentwood, just minutes away from the shoe store.

Amid the hipster shops along Abbot Kinney, Waraku welcomes both guys and gals into its store for a Tokyo shopping experience. Women come here for the unique special edition sneakers from Nike, Asics/Onitsuka Tiger, Puma, Adidas and Converse (and many more).  But they come more often for the off-branded limited editions from Indian and Sou Sou. Both are cutting edge Japanese shoe hits. Tokyo culture is everything here; find popular Japanese brands including Buden and Waraku, kitschy knick knacks with cultural flair and always a surprise or two from the newest Japanese designers.
