Pay Attention!
That old cliché about women having a soft
spot for shoes is alive and well in Reykjavík,
especially when those women pop into shoe-
store Kron on Laugavegur. Co-shop owner
Hugrún Árnadóttir is alleged to have the
most impressive shoe collection in Iceland,
and not surprisingly, since Kron is something
of a candy-store for feet enthusiasts. Indeed
everything inside is deliciously wearable, the
best brands, quality, and style hand-picked
to make Kron the most exciting shoe retailer
in the city. Kron stocks brands such as Chie
Mihara, Vialis and Salvador Sapena, and is
one of the only stores in all of Iceland that
sells the gorgeous Spanish brand Camper.
But it’s not just women who get a kick
out of Kron, as the store stocks quality men’s
shoes and boots to boot. A purchase from
Kron is definitely a treat, and should be
considered such, especially when you get a
look at the price tag. Yet the prices dutifully
follow some of Europe’s top labels, a fact of
pretention that the store often lets you forget.
As anyone with a self-respecting sweet tooth
will undoubtedly affirm, this place is a factory
of sweet, sweet shoes, and luckily enough
you don’t need a Golden Ticket to take the
magical tour. VÞ
