Rome shopping
 

I'll probably spend a weekend in Rome soon so I need some shopping advice. I'm wondering if there's is any place where I could find Manolo Blahnik shoes? And - what shoe stores in Rome would you recommend? Thank you in advance.

Unless the exchange rate improves, the prices in Rome are very high. New York prices are lower.
We returned from Rome two weeks ago and my total shopping was 2 pair of gloves.

Via Condotti and surrounding area has the best best shopping ever. If you can get your hands on Italian Vogue, look at the back which has all the designers and where their products are sold. Also: http://travel.yahoo.com/p-travelguid...eighborhoods-i

And specifically for shoes:

Enjoyyyyy

In the Via Condotti and the streets around there, you will find most well known Italian shoe designers. I haven't seen Manolo Blahnik, but if you go into the Via Babuino, there are some interesting shops that sell several top designers. If you go into the Babuino, coming from the Spanish Steps, on the right there is a fabulous store; I think it's called Elena.
Then if you continue towards the Piazza del Popolo, there is a shop on the left hand side, that also sells some interesting designers. Think its called Tad concept store or something like that. Very interesting. There's a cafe too.

Thank you for the ideas. I am SO looking forward to it.
