wild pair

Originally a popular mall-based shoe store in the 1980s and 90s, Wild Pair was known for its trendy and daring footwear styles for women. The original chain was operated by Edison Brothers Stores, which was liquidated in 1999. The brand name has since been revived and is now offered as an exclusive line at Macy's. Today's Wild Pair continues its legacy of providing fashion-forward footwear, offering a wide range of styles from chunky platform sandals and lug-sole booties to embellished heels and over-the-knee boots. The brand targets a modern, style-conscious consumer looking for accessible, on-trend designs. While the original stores are a point of nostalgia for many, the current iteration exists as a private label, primarily focused on bringing contemporary and often edgy shoe designs to a mass-market audience through a major department store retailer.
