Before my first trip to New York in middle school, I remember researching the "do's and don'ts of the Big Apple." The most consistent tip? Only wear closed-toed shoes. The phrase was bolded, as if the writer was screaming it at me. So, off I went to NYC with anything but sandals. All these years later, it seems New York's elite want me to reconsider.
Jennifer Lawrence, Gigi Hadid, and, most recently, Zoë Kravitz, have been publicly pro-open-toe footwear on the streets of NYC. That's right, the only thing between their bare feet and the suspicious sidewalk is a thin slab of The Row-branded rubber.
