The Hello Stiletto Shoe Club

Ever have the most wonderful pair of shoes and nowhere to wear them? Or you want to make sure everyone sees them? The Hello Stiletto Shoe Club solves that dilemma.
You always have the right occasion for your favorite shoes. Better yet, you'll always have a handy excuse to buy a new pair.
This party is for the well-heeled crowd -- high heels of course.
"This is for me," said club member Tia Jones. "This is--this is better than shopping."
The Hello Stiletto Shoe Club meets once a month to part and show off their best in three and four inch fashion -- and to take a peek at what everyone else is wearing.
"If I could have a pair of pumps in every single color that would be a really great thing," said Atlanta chapter founder Amanda Viciana.
She started the club in Atlanta after her sister founded Hello Stiletto in Boston.
"I know there are a lot of people like me," she said. "Mothers or they're in a career where they have to wear conservative pumps, and they have this great pair of stilettos, and this is a chance to show them off."
There are now several branches of the shoe club around the country. She's also sold on leather soles.
"I used to own about 85 pairs, but somehow I went up to about 100 in the last month," Amanda said.
There's more going on here than just shimmying in jimmys. It's a chance to dress up, meet other women, and share shoe stories. Laura Davis got engaged in Europe and bought a pair of patent pumps to remember the shiny moment.
"And they're kind of unique, and I wanted to show them off tonight," Laura said.
These women know how to accessorize, and how to build something from the ground up -- all the way to four inches at least.
"I've met a lot of great people that I wouldn't have met otherwise," Amanda said.
The club's next event takes place at Bloomingdales at Perimeter Mall on April 17.
