Last Tuesday was the night the 26th Annual Footwear News Achievement Awards was held at New York’s Museum of Modern Art. As it was the “Oscars of the footwear industry,” naturally, we had very high expectations of the shoe spots at the event.

Thankfully, the designers, retailers, models, and celebrities who attended the awards show did not disappoint and flashed footwear that would be considered a feast for us fanatics. It really was all about the shoes that night. Not only was it the theme, but the attendees also made sure that their shoes were the focal point of their ensembles.
