Cusp
MARC by Marc Jacobs, Dolce Vita, Sam Edelman and Elizabeth and James are just a few of the fab footwear brands you’ll find in the back of this Water Tower gem. Whether it’s spring or winter, summer or fall, you can be sure Cusp’s shoe selection will be fierce—no Plain Janers here. And unlike the picked-over racks at other places, the sales at Cusp are actually worthwhile—no more squeezing into a too-small size to pick up a great pair of pumps at a discount.
