New Store: Traffic

Oh yes, oh yes, oh yes: Philadelphia has a new shoe store! Right by the GameStop in the Gallery at Market East is Traffic, with tons of shoes crammed into a tiny glass-walled space. I have to start by saying that their website is a hot mess (thus the not-so-great pictures and the non-matching colors), so if you want to know what they’ve got you really need to go explore in person.

But if you need trendy shoes (read: straps and glitter) for $25 or less, Traffic is just the place. Shoes like... these:

The Vantage 61 (by Delicacy) is your basic strappy sandal. Available in white or black, you can pick up these babies for $25. The Athena 416 (by Qupid) has six (count-em: six!) straps around the ankle, and is available in a black/snakeskin combo, a red/leopard combo, and an olive-snake combo (shown). Pick up a pair for $20.

The Demand 210 (by Qupid) has a sweet buckle at the ankle, a sky-high heel, and comes in coral or sage. Only $20! The Emotional 7 is part gladiator sandal, part Peter Pan boot. Available in either gray or black, you can pick up a pair for $20.

You already know I have a soft spot for zebra, so one more:

The Ella 66 (by Delicacy) comes in gray/black and shiny silver/black—and those buttons on the ankle cuff? They’re giant rhinestones. Fab. Gallop away in a pair for $25.

Can’t make it to Market East? There’s also a Traffic in Deptford and Lansdale.
