Department Stores
While department stores like Tangs, Robinsons, Takashimaya, Metro and Isetan might not sell bona fide bridal shoes, you’re likely to find a suitably stylish gem among the labels they carry, from mid-range brands like Nine West to cult favourites like Chiara Ferragni. Besides, wandering around the entire shoe section to test drive as many pairs as possible is part of the fun, if you ask us.
