Although the St. Louis Park location offers a selection of men’s footwear, this shop is for ladies only. A small but well-lit rectangular space with sale racks front-and-center and full-priced merchandise lining the walls, Shu Global Footwear is the walking woman’s dream store. Although a few towering heels and boiled wool clogs peek out from the neat rows of shoes, the vast majority of pairs are designed to offer middle ground between comfort and style.

Flexible rubber-soled Campers offer walkable comfort paired with a quirky, colorful Spanish design aesthetic.  Steel shanked Cydwoqs offer solid support with a modern, sculpted, architectural look. Jeffrey Campbell offers an array of fun and funky embellished designs and also occasionally proffers affordable designer knockoffs. And if you’re not in the market for killer work shoes, you can also pick up a pair of Uggs for winter schlepping, FitFlops or MBTs for walking workouts, or Keens for state park hiking. Or drool over the small but lust-inducing selection of sinfully soft leather handbags from Latico, Tano, and Angela Adams.

If you’re looking for Louboutins look elsewhere, but if it’s stylish practicality you seek, Shu is the place for you.
