Remember when Easy Spirit first used the tag line, "Looks like a pump, feels like a sneaker?" A more accurate description, of course, was "Looks like an orthopedic shoe, feels like sneaker."

But Easy Spirit is now eying a higher-end, younger market. By enlisting the design talents of Tara Subkoff, which fashion followers will know from the L.A.-based line Imitation of Christ. Subkoff's designs are smart, modern, feminine and sexy.

My favorite? The Pallendro.

Gone are the days when Easy Spirits were the fashionable domain of little old ladies. With a great designer on board, Easy Spirit shoes at last actually "Look like a pump, but feel like a sneaker." Price: $240
