Footcandy Shoes

When Napa Valley vintner Perry Butler counted his wife Carolyn's pairs of shoes, he stopped at 500. Obviously, she had a passion for more than making fine wine. He thought, "Why not combine both passions, which involve high style and world travel?" While Perry is tasting wines for his label, Juslyn Vineyards, in London, Milan, New York and Paris, Carolyn could meet with designers on the Left Bank or its equivalent. And so, Footcandy was born. The elegant shoe store has two locations in California: Saint Helena and Sonoma; and recently opened a new store in Delray Beach, Florida. Carolyn Butler's buying philosophy is, "I am the consumer, I sell to myself."
