Go Back

If you ever need shoes in Brookline, Mass (at 307 Harvard Street, Coolidge Corner), just stop by and say "Hi" to Mel at Mel's Capitol Shoe/Too. His store is refreshingly utilitarian, with shoe boxes stacked from bottom to top against the walls. If he doesn't have the shoe you're looking for, he'd be happy to offer you a suitable substitute. By the way, Mel, the Converse sneakers you sold me are holding up great. Thanks. You're a good humored guy! And. . .guess what Mel?. . YOU'RE ON THE WEB!
