"They went into my closets looking for skeletons, but thank God, all they found were shoes, beautiful shoes," said Imelda Marcos, the notorious shoe hoarder and lover of glamour.

Whether you're looking for heels for a wedding, flats for the office or sneakers for the gym, we've rounded up 12 of the best LA resources for all your shoe needs.
