The women love to dress up...high heels...and a kind of cheap high fashion that you can find at thousands of "small shops" in the Petrivka Rynok... Most Metro stops...have underground shopping if not a big Rynok outside...think flea ... food store in the basement...it's next to Bessarabsky Market...or go to Globus Shopping Center which is right on Independence Square in front of Hotel Ukrainia...in the heart of downtown..,a few sporting shops there that could be helpful. ...
