My favorite item in stock right now are my Aquatalia boots. These bad boys are waterproof and fashionable! I wear mine all the time for rain and will continue to during the snowy months. President and Creative Director Marvin Krasnow has over 45 years of experience and crafts these boots with authentic Italian leather and suede techniques. This international brand fits perfectly in all cities, climates, and occasion. New York City is home to Aquatalia’s Chief Operating Officer and Fashion Director Rena Krasnow. There is no better place to be to direct brand operations than at the shoe lovers capital of North America. Marvin K. and the Aquatalia headquarters reside in Montreal where they emanate the surrounding style and cosmopolitan inspiration. Their location also serves as the driving force for their brand. The unruly weather forced them to deliver a level of elegance and luxury that can withstand all elements. Don’t sacrifice style for weather ever again and come in to Shoe and She for a fitting for the must have boots this season!
