PAIGE DENIM DEBUTS FOOTWEAR

Popular jean brand Paige Denim has expanded into footwear this month. Similar to their denim offering, the footwear collection channels its laid-back Californian-essence that the brand is known for. Designer and founder, Paige Adams-Geller said her personal footwear always influenced her designs and was waiting for the moment she could launch her independent footwear line. Adams-Geller is a self-proclaimed shoe addict and the label's footwear debut includes 19 pieces with everything from ankle boots to sandals.

"We wanted to include pieces we felt were a necessity in a woman’s closet: the sneaker, the heel, the Western boot, the lower heel height and the higher heel height," she added. "When you put Paige jeans on, they feel like your best friend and we wanted the same thing to happen with your foot. The most important quality for our shoes is comfort, so we made sure to pick leathers that mold to the foot, used special padding inside the shoes and negotiated the heel heights to ensure that every piece was something you could get around in."

With limited distribution, Paige Denim's footwear capsule can be found on their e-store and at two major retail partners: Nordstrom and Selfridges. "Given the success we had with our men’s business this year, I’m also pretty positive that by next fall we will have a men’s shoe collection."
