Dear Manolo: In Step for Easter

Dear Manolo:

Can you recommend a pair of shoes for church on Easter morning?
— AUDREY

MANOLO SAYS, Manolo says, the Manolo must admit he has never completely understood the American version of Easter. Elsewhere this day of joy is celebrated with religious processions and family feasts. Yes, in North America there is still the ham-based dinner, but here the main event occurs when the tiny tots wake up, rush down the stairs and launch themselves teeth-first into the five pounds of chocolate, marshmallow and jelly beans left for them by the giant fairy-tale rodent.

Later, at church, these children, now under the deleterious influence of Cadbury's Creme Eggs and Peeps, will bounce up and down, twitch and swing their legs in the pews, while their parents shush them.

Happily, some of this sugar-fueled energy will be dissipated by the hunting of the eggs, during which their best clothes will be permanently stained with grass, food coloring and chocolate saliva.

Of the course, this doesn't mean you shouldn't look your best for church and the mayhem which follows. And so, here is the beautiful shoe from the Stuart Weitzman ($188, zappos.com), perfect for the day!
