Shoe Diva Event Macy's State Street
A shopping event & fashion show in which you, the attendees, are the models and all the focus is on footwear. Break out your favorite shoes! We're talking about the ones you absolutely love but rarely get a chance to wear. Whether they're your red strappy stilettos that aren't quite office appropriate or those pink satin sandals that don't fare well at kiddie play dates, they'll be perfect for this event.
Macy's will also be offering a special discount on shoe purchases during the event, enjoy refreshments and a signature Hello Stiletto "walk off" in which attendees will be invited to walk the runway to compete for prizes and the title of 'best in shoe.' GF's own Graham Kostic will be one of the judges.
5PM – 8PM
