        Shoes are not merely accessories, but also source of joy in our lives, as stated in newly-opened 1031 Shoes' slogan "Joy starts from your feet". Inspired by the hippest fashion elements on Tokyo's streets, Taiwanese and Japanese designers have cooperated to develop creative shoe designs, from northern country furs to tasseled Bohemian styles. Other leading fashion elements include American casual-style drawings and geometric patterns, and mysterious Oriental styles created with totems and carvings. In addition, the store will take a Polaroid photo of your newly-purchased shoes and stick it on the PVC shoe box, in order to make it a lot easier for you to find perfectly matching shoes. The average price for a pair of shoes here is around NT$2,000, with occasional promotions offered. --By Josephine Lin
