The women’s footwear and accessories boutique opened this spring to feature European-style shoes in an intimate location on 42nd Avenue within walking distance from the Bayside Long Island Rail Road stop. Robert Yeganeh, creative director and buyer of the new Love My Shoes, is a trusted local merchant who has been selling shoes for 37 years, and began his career as a small-time salesman in a flea market. He founded the first location of Love My Shoes in 1996, and the business was once so successful that Yeganeh was operating a sevenstore chain by the mid- 2000s. With new investors in the marketplace and Yeganeh’s contacts and knowledge of the business, he was hired to do what he does best, “fast fashion” for today’s customer in a time bind who wants the work done for them. New Love My Shoes has since opened three stores in Queens and Long Island including the Bayside outpost, with the other two located in Long Island in Oceanside and Babylon. A fourth Long Island location in Huntington is scheduled to open its doors in early fall to coincide with back-toschool shopping trends. “What we had to do for the new Love My Shoes was to reinvent the brand, reinvent the layout of the stores, reinvent the mindset of how shoes fit into our target customers’ lives, and have newness introduced to a wider range of consumers.” A wide variety of styles and brands are displayed, and Yeganeh says some are stocked for their high-profile branding (with Vince Camuto, Steve Madden, Doc Marten and Keds among labels represented in the shop), and others are stocked for their distinctive look. The high-heeled shoe collection in the new location commands attention, with pairs lined up by the dozen against the walls of the shop. There is a style for every occasion, from glitter stilettos ready for a night out to classic black pumps perfect for daytime office wear. For women looking for a little more comfort, flats, sandals, sneakers and even some rain boots are available. Jewelry and handbags are also sold at the store, so clients can purchase a complete look or entire shoe wardrobe from the same convenient location. Love My Shoes is located at 213-02 42nd Ave. in Bayside, and can be reached at 347-836-8490. Also visit the store online at www. lovemyshoes.com.
