Fourth Street is madness — you know it going in, you know it circumnavigating the parking lots, you know it dodging baby carriers and designer dogs. But at the sound of the trickling fountain at the front door of Rabat, you are promised surcease and a little serenity. This comes from gazing at beautiful yet affordable footwear at this pleasant, quirky shop for men’s and women’s shoes and accessories. Start from the rear at the bags, including the cult designer labels Hobo and Francesco Biasia. Choose from the delectable sock collection as well as a beguiling selection of jewelry. Rabat is known for carrying women’s European labels such as Arche, Camper, the dance line Repetto, Giraudon, and Robert Clergerie, as well as local artisans such as the handmade Sidewalk brand. Men’s shoes include Giraudon as well as Tsubo and Puma. In an admitted nod to the dog-obsessed nature of Fourth Street, the shop mascot is a pug named Henry, who entertains a number of doggie callers when he’s receiving.
