Before you go shopping at Bloomingdale's, you might want to hear what Erica Russo has to say.

To make the search for things you love a little easier, we tapped Erica to give us the lowdown on what to look for when we visited the new shoe floor at New York City's flagship store. When it comes to footwear, she revealed the brands to know and love, and we've even included our own picks ahead to get you inspired.
