DNA Footwear

It’s safe to say that this hip and trendy shoe boutique is taking over Kings County with the opening of its fifth Brooklyn shop (the others are in Bensonhurst, Park Slope and Carroll Gardens[where is the 4th? are there 2 in one neighborhood? mention that here...]). Mixing rustic elements (exposed brick walls, vintage decor accents) with a chic aesthetic (chandeliers, stained concrete flooring), the large space houses accessories and shoes from brands such as Seychelles, Frye and TOMS on floor-to-ceiling wall shelves. Vintage Shoe Co. leather brogue-style women’s combat boots ($290) and Palladium high-top waterproof men’s boots ($120) will protect your tootsies in winter. Dressier fare includes ladies’ Frye classic knee-high boots with button detailing ($328); Seychelles chunky-heeled, faux-leather booties ($149); and men’s Bed Stü distressed-leather boat shoes ($75). You can also stock up on TOMS classic slip-ons ($44), or accessorize with fringed Ugg scarves featuring pockets ($95) and Bed Stü cross-body shoulder bags ($55).
