Who can resist a man who understands the difference between a kitten and a stacked heel? The Shoe Guys are one of the highlights of a WW&S event. These charming men aren’t models or actors — they are men from the community who support the cause and are willing to brave a party full of women, presenting the shoes on silver trays and explaining the wine pairings.

After a quick lesson in shoe vocabulary, they are adept with descriptors like d’orsay pump, peep toe and peau de soie. Who can resist? Elaine Honig couldn’t – she married a Shoe Guy.
