Our Favorite Narrow Sandals for Women, Men & Kids


 

 

Ahhhh, the weather’s getting warmer and we’re thinking about exposing those toes once again in nice narrow sandals. 

Stay tuned  some of our narrow width fav’s for the 2012 Spring/Summer Season for Women, Men, Girls and Boys

Men’s & Women’s Narrow Shoes and ‘Mad Men’ Inspired Style!

In honor of the two hour season premiere of  Mad Men, we present The Banana Republic limited-edition capsule collection, featuring 1960s inspired dresses, cigarette pants, jewelry, menswear and accessories and we add our take on today’s narrow width footwear styles to compliment them!

About the Show: Set in 1960s New York, the sexy, stylized and provocative AMC drama Mad Men follows the lives of the ruthlessly competitive men and women of Madison Avenue advertising, an ego-driven world where key players make an art of the sell.   The series revolves around the conflicted world of Don Draper,  the biggest ad man (and ladies man) in the business, and his colleagues at the Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce Advertising Agency.  As Don makes the plays in the boardroom and the bedroom, he struggles to stay a step ahead of the rapidly changing times and the young executives nipping at his heels.  The series also depicts authentically the roles of men and women in this era while exploring the true human nature beneath the guise of 1960s traditional family values.

About the Clothes:  The Emmy Award-winning costume designer for AMC’s ‘Mad Men’ partnered with Banana Republic for a second installment of the limited-edition capsule collection, featuring 1960s inspired dresses cigarette pants, jewelry and menswear.

About the Shoes:  In the early 1960′s rounded pumps were fashionable as were pumps with chunky heels for women.  Men’s shoe styles…well shoe styles for men haven’t changed all that much.  However,  just as  Banana Republic has taken 1960′s style and reinterpreted it in their collection, we’ve added our  narrow shoe spin with our footwear selections, as well.   Our women’s pump selections,  some  with rounded toe and others more pointy, are black and nude patent leather.  A neutral patent leather pump is a nice alternative to the black patent leather black pump we see so often.  We chose two casual lace-up athletic style loafers to match the style of the casual lace-up oxford pictured below, for our narrow shoe selections for men.  These great shoes are stylish and comfortable and right on trend for the fashionable guy who just happens to wear a narrow shoe width.

Celebrity Style the Narrow Shoe Way

 Matt Lauer’s Shoe Style - Remember that television show “The Look for Less,” which recreated a high-end look at a low-end price?  We thought we’d create our own variation on that theme in our newest blog category:  Celebrity Style the Narrow Shoe Way-The Look in Narrow.   With the help of our new sister blog, called  Celebrity Style the Narrow Shoe Way, this  new “look in narrow”  is all about finding celebrity style  inspiration from the  narrow shoes on up. Now, not only can we show you our picks for narrow width shoe alternatives to the shoes the celebs wear (which, of course typically aren’t narrow), we can inspire you with a lower-end alternative to their stylish outfits, as well.

 

 

The Look in Narrow:  Matt Lauer 

 We like Matt Lauer here at  The Narrow Shoe.com.  We think he’s great on the Today Show,  he has a great style sense and we think he might be “one of us,” a person who wears a narrow shoe width!   Look at these pics and you might just agree.   We’ve read that Zegna is his clothing designer.  If he has as much trouble buying shoes as we do, Zegna might design his shoes for him, too.  However,  if he were to buy shoes from our site, here’s what we’d suggest for him!

 Pictured here in an elegant black suit and black oxfords (instead of the brown one’s he favors on the show) here’s what we’d choose for him:

Welcome to The Narrow Shoe.com!

The Narrow Shoe Blog

At The Narrow Shoe.com, we know just how frustrating it can be to find stylish designer and name brand shoes in your narrow width in the “vast sea” of wider sizes out there, because our founder wears a narrow shoe size, as does her daughter.

In fact, she comes from a long line of narrow shoe wearing family members, on both the maternal and paternal sides of her family.  In her immediate family, her mother, father and sister all wear narrow sizes, too!  That’s why this site was created–to make what is often a difficult and stressful task, dare we say it, actually fun!

So why shop with us? Well there are many great reasons, but here are the most important ones:
