For (most) women, diamond isn’t their only best friend. The other item that they can’t live without is owning a good pair of shoes. No, make that more than a pair. Women’s shoes come in different shapes and styles with the likes of heels, sandals, peep-toes, lace-ups and so on. Here are the Top 10 Women’s Footwear Stores if you are planning to shop for a pair around KL and Selangor area.
1) Nelissa Hilman
Long before Nelissa Hilman established her namesake footwear label, she used to work as a chemical engineer back in the early 2010s. But the Kuala Lumpur-born Hilman quit her corporate job and made a career leap by enrolling a shoemaking course in Florence, Italy. It was her lifelong passion that she always wanted to do ever since her younger days. Every pair is meticulously handcrafted using premium leather sourced directly from Italian tanneries. You can find both classic and trendy shoe designs such as high heels, flats and sandals at Nelissa Hilman, which are available online and store outlet at UGF-20, Bangsar Village II.

2) ChristyNg.com
Like most successful local entrepreneurs, Christy Ng’s bittersweet journey is a classic rags-to-riches story. She wasn’t born to a well-to-do family but her passion for entrepreneurship and commitment are the reasons that motivated her to her eventual success. Today, she operates both online and physical outlets such as Jaya One, 1 Utama, MyTown and Mid Valley Megamall. Apart from stocking various ready-made shoes like heels, peep toes and wedding shoes, Christy Ng also provides custom-made shoes as well. You can even get to customise your own pair of shoes using the online store’s integrated 3D shoe design. All you have to do is choose the type of shoes (e.g. Full Open Peep Toe or Ribbon Flats) and pick a right size. Other customisation available includes types of materials, body style and add-ons like strap, brooch and ribbon. Once you are satisfied with your design, just click “Add To Bag” and you’re good to go!
