For your amusement, enlightenment and shopping pleasure, we present you with the Racked LA Shoe Hotlist. We've stomped the streets, from Beverly Blvd. to Rodeo Drive to Montana to Sunset, to bring you a highly subjective guide to some of LA's best shoe shopping. While we've tried to focus on the sweet spots that are indigenous to LA, you can't have any respectable shopping guide and leave out meccas like Barneys New York or three-level-heaven Nordstrom at South Coast Plaza. If you think we made some glaring omissions, leave them in the comments.
