Soula

For a vast selection of trendy footwear, women and men from all five boroughs hit up this hip shop, where purses and bags hang alongside framed photographs above sleek rows of sandals, sneakers and heels. Rick Lee, who honed his craft as a buyer at Barneys New York and as director of merchandising at Cole Haan, is the force behind the store, which has grown so successful there’s now a second location, in Park Slope.
