Size 7 Heaven
Samples Only in Reseda has tons of great shoes if you have small feet. Tons of pairs from Marc Jacobs, Ellen Tracy, and Kezio. But almost all their stuff was in size 6, 6.5, or 7. Curse my size 10 feet! Saw a cute green slide from Ellen Tracy with a mini-heel for $51 (orig $84) and a red patent leather heel from Marc Jacobs that had a tiny pink bow across the front for $95 (orig $158), and tons of other good stuff. Unfortunately, no Web site!
Owner Jin Kim gets his shoes from wholesalers and from manufacturers who want to unload the sample shoes they use to get orders from retailers. He's friendly once you start talking to him. But make sure the shoe fits because there are no returns.
Visit them at 19401 Victory at Tampa in Loehmann's Plaza. Cash or credit. Mon to Sat 10-6. (818) 881-8621.
