Tip Top Shoes

Since 1940, Tip Top has been selling practical shoes to New Yorkers of all kinds. On a recent weekday visit, every chair was occupied with folks of all ages trying something on. Get your Blundstones, Dr. Martens, and Kork-Ease here — Tip Top really does sell all of the popular shoe brands (sneakers included), with one of the most comprehensive selections in the city. Kids shoes occupy their own storefront nearby, and the selection of socks by the checkout is worth a look.
