You might expect spectacular designer shoes around Rockefeller Centre with luxury retailers, fancy hotels, skyscraper offices and chic outdoor cafes along its borders. But designer shoes expert Alejandro Injelmo believes that people don't know how to find fashion, comfort and function in one pair of shoes.

He said that designer shoes are only appropriate for some occasions and not for everyday wear. The prettiest of designer shoes for women have a little heel to them, although gladiator sandals at any height create the illusion of a long, lean line with their straps. The city surrounding him is an endless source of inspiration because of the architecture. Like a building, a designer shoe has to be strong, sturdy, attractive and inviting.
Injelmo was born and raised in a family of shoemakers who came from Cuba. He is the fourth generation in the family business.
