Luckily for Calgary, Dani Izzo of Check Mate Shoes has opened an additional boutique, the Shoe Muse (326 Aspen Glen Landing SW, Suite 106, Calgary, 403-453-0490, theshoemuse.com). With the return of the borrowed-from-the-boys look this season, now’s the time to slip into a cool pair of oxfords or brogues.

Among the store’s stellar selection of menswear-inspired styles, there’s the Miz Mooz label. Made of buttery Italian leather, the wingtip-inspired bootie ($200) features classic men’s tailoring with a feminine twist. Or try the Nash (shown, $145), a chic lace-up brogue that works well with trousers or a skirt. Can’t find what you’re looking for? Visit the Fly Trap—Canada’s first Fly London concept shop, located at the back of the store—for more fierce footwear styles.
