It’s a very pretty shop. Elegant, sleek. Very Lexington Avenue, I’d say. In fact, the original Eric NYC may have been on Lexington Avenue.

One of the partners in that NYC shop has ventured out to brownstone Brooklyn alongside Barrio and across the street from the upcoming Kids Rx (both are venturers from Manhattan).

Visually, Eric will pull in all the shoe-obsessed of Park Slope. Stylish shelves lines the left and right walls and comfy ottoman-style seating is down the middle. Browns, beiges, whites, the space is minimalist, stylish and restful to the eye with a discriminating selection of shoes.

Yes, shoes for the Park Slope woman.

I wanted to ask Eric, the owner, what he thinks the Park Slope woman wants when it comes to shoes. From the looks of it he thinks: comfortable, low, brown. Yes, there is life beyond Keens, Birkenstocks and Crocs.

There are some fun, dressy shoes. And the ski book style boots in the back are really cool. I’ll be in there again today to check out the price points and to talk to Eric:

“So what is a Park Slope shoe?”
