Oh Hey There, Heel Boy

     This is now my opportunity to apologize for the blog hiatus, but I have been doing something equally (more?!) amazing over the past few months.  I've been working with the awesome staff at Heel Boy, one of the top shoe stores in all of Toronto.  Located in the trendy West Queen West neighbourhood, Heel Boy is a destination, not only for hipsters but for anyone with a love or need for shoes.

     Heel Boy has grown in popularity over the past decade and has attracted shoe-a-holics, including myself, with a diverse assortment of on trend styles for men and women.  Here is a look at what is on the shelves for Fall and Winter 2013!

     Ankle boots are the hottest trend for fall.  Ranging in all colours, suede and leather, lace or zip up, these booties work with skinny jeans, tights with chunky knit sweaters and tunic dresses.  Steve Madden, Dolce Vita, Seychelles and Franco Sarto are some of the well known brands carried by Heel Boy shown above.  If you don't already have a pair in your wardrobe, you know where to find one . . . or three!

  

     Heel Boy is a true supporter of Canadian brands, being an striving independent company itself.  Taking us stylishly into the colder months are Sorel, Kodiak and Uggs.  Having a warm, waterproof boot is a must and Heel Boy has the most stylish designs available.  If you are a true "heel girl" you will love the Sorel ankle rain boots with a bright orange heel!  

     Any style of rain boot is perfect for this chilly, wet weather.  Available in fun prints and versatile  neutrals, Hunter, Cougar and Dav are the go to classic brands to slosh through the city in.  Not only are they all 100% waterproof, they are also cute and comfy!

     Need some on trend footwear for your man?  Heel Boy carries a perfect selection of mens shoes and boots for any occasion.  Suede shoes by Reef for fall and warm, waterproof Sorel's for winter with   contrasting soles and laces is the new look in men's footwear.  

     Kenneth Cole, John Varvatos, Lacoste and Walkover are some of many brands with options for the office and first dates (hint, hint).  Need a comfortable shoe for weekends and mornings at the dog park?  New Balance offers support and style in fun colour combinations (also available in women's styles!).

     

     Heel Boy is a known destination for ladies looking for the perfect sexy shoe or boot.   Bold buckles and lace ups add an edgy look, especially with a sky high heel like these Tiger of Sweden's.  A slim, simple buckle is a classic, well tailored look on a knee high boot, much like the Ivanka Trumps on the top shelf.  Colcci, French Connection and Guess are also go to brands for the perfect black bootie, a look any girl can pull off for a night out!

      Pumps and flats for the office or any event can be found here.  The upcoming holiday season is the perfect time for suede and patent leather, sparkles and gold details.  Red, oxblood, navy and of course, classic black are the most popular but don't be afraid to have some fun with vintage inspired cuts and ankle straps.  

     What ever you are looking for, Heel Boy is your one stop shop.  The welcoming, high energy staff will gladly assist you and have the answer for any footwear fix.  So throw on your warmest layers, grab a coffee and take a stroll down Queen West to visit us.  I promise you won't be leaving empty handed!
