2015, 2018 and now 2020: Every few years, we catch up with shoe maven Kristina Cavallo, who has dedicated a room in her New Rochelle home to all things footwear.

At the last minute, Kristina dropped everything she was doing to pose and answer questions for WAG. That’s why she’ll always be a “shoe”-in, in our book: Kristina, what’s new in your collection since we last talked? “…I have added some really cool pieces to my collection. I have also added some new designers to my room, which I love as well. Christian Louboutin will always be my favorite designer, and some of his latest pieces have been so creative. They include a completely adorned crystal hot pink pointy pump, which is new for 2020. I have also added some beautiful Gianvito Rossi sandals, which are huge this year in so many colors. Versace pink and silver pumps are amazing. I have also been in love with platform sneakers from Gucci and Stella McCartney. I also have added some beautiful pumps from Charlotte Olympia and Ruthie Davis. Some amazing crystal flats from Christian Louboutin have been added to the collection as well as some matching handbags.” With so many new additions, your shoe room must’ve needed an upgrade. “Yes, I have expanded my shoe room and added a few more shelves in the available corners to showcase
