It's Shoe Week! Check back all week for lots of shoe love.

People say things like "men are from Mars, women are from Venus," and sell lots of books. But in reality, we're not so different. We all need food, water, and footwear to survive. Luckily in San Francisco, men and women can even shop for footwear in together, since some of our best shoe sellers cater to both male and female feet. If you've been following along with Shoe Week, you'll recognize some names in our men's shoe store map, including Paolo, Gimme Shoes, Shoe Biz, and John Fluevog. So grab your partner and get ready for some couples shoe shopping.
