It is hard to believe that we are talking about fall, but the end of summer is near. We have been unpacking lots of new fall arrivals. Now that the sidewalk sale is over, it seems like it is time to talk about what we have in store for the stores.

We always like to have something new at each store, and this fall marks the return of Isabel Marant shoes at The Shoe Hive, along with our first shipment of STAUD shoes. The line’s spring clothes and bags were so popular we thought it was time to introduce their footwear.

You will also notice we have more heels than we have had in the recent past. My personal favorites are by Rupert Sanderson; I tend to order most of his shoes for myself. It is hard to think about boots after months of warm weather, but the return of the Over The Knee boot is pretty exciting as well. We have some flat options from Ann Mashburn, and one of the most stunning pairs I have ever seen is now in the store from Alexander Birman.

If you are wondering why Aquatalia is still missing, don’t worry, it is coming - we just don’t have photographs. So many shoe companies struggled during the dressed-down last few years that not all of them made it out of the pandemic, but we are so happy to have Aquatalia back in our store. It is always a customer favorite, especially during the winter months. How can you go wrong with weatherproof shoes!

We already have lots of the styles in the book in-store and on our website. If you see something you want us to notify you about when they come in, send me an email at elizabeth@theshoehive.com we will make sure you know when we have unpacked it. I highlighted a few of my favorites for fall as well. I always use the lookbook time to decide what I need to get this season. I mean, I know I won’t just get these five, but always good to have a plan.
