we've already professed our love for the pedro garcía perry sneaker, when we named it the shoe of the year in 2015, but this season there is a new kid on the block: the parson. we like to think of it as the streamlined version of the perry with its lower profile and slender rubber sole. this is the shoe we will be sporting as we transition into fall and our new space. 

the midnight satin exterior adds a bit of femininity, while the frayed edges give the unique touch we always look for in pedro garcía shoes. these sneakers have the same thick laces as the perry, but the wide rubber sole is replaced by a creamy suede bumper and thin rubber sole. we love this lighter look and feel.

as it was difficult to choose just one (and in the spirit of the start of the season of all things bountiful), this month's shoe pick is technically an entire brand. it's a brand that's become a scarpa staple; we've carried them for years, and almost everyone on staff has a pair — a further testament to their greatness.  it's no wonder cydwoq provides our go-to sandals for june.

coming from a long line of shoemakers, cydwoq hand crafts their wares in california using italian leather. their signature sculpted footbed readily checks off the "comfort" box and only improves with wear.

cydwoq's aesthetic is just different enough to add interest to an outfit without upstaging it.  a range of styles and materials allows for versatile pairing with summer outfits — from dresses to jeans, we wear our cydwoqs with just about anything.

when we asked binky, our shoe buyer, what her favorite pair of shoes was this month, she made her choice without hesitation: the henry beguelin croc tip sandal. 

slipping into these sandals is a luxe treat after months of schlepping around in boots. and it's not just about the croc: these pairs are crafted in italy with a calfskin lining and insole, so they mould comfortably to your feet.  subtle bohemian details, like the hand-stitched beading running down the upper, are a henry beguelin signature.
