Shoes

Must-have styles for summer

• Elegant sandals: minimal or interwoven, with a medium or high heel, ankle strap to lengthen the figure.
• Slingbacks and pumps: from pointed toes to low (kitten) heels, chic alternatives for ceremonies and formal outfits.
• Ballet flats and flats: clean lines, square or round toes for maximum comfort in the city.
• Summer loafers: in soft leather or light fabrics, perfect for smart-casual looks.
• Espadrilles and wedges: ideal with midi dresses and light skirts, they add height with stability.
• Premium sneakers: essential silhouettes in leather and canvas for a contemporary twist on dresses and suits.

Seasonal materials and colours

For warm weather, opt for soft leathers (nappa, calfskin, perforated suede), raffia and breathable canvas. Leather and rubber soles ensure grip and durability; padded insoles improve the fit.

Palette: sophisticated neutrals (black, nude, sand, ivory), pastels (powder pink, sky blue, mint), metallics (gold, silver) and vitaminic touches for bolder outfits.

How to choose the right designer shoes (comfort, heel, occasion)

• Comfort: look for soft straps, padded insoles and a width consistent with your foot shape. Pointed toes are flattering but require half a size up if you have a high instep.
• Heel: kitten (3–5 cm) for everyday elegance; block or medium (6–8 cm) for stability at long events; stiletto for evenings and ceremonies; wedge or platform for height with comfort.
• Occasion: sandals and slingbacks for ceremonies; pumps or loafers for the office; ballet flats and premium sneakers for leisure; espadrilles for holidays and resort wear.

Pairings to enhance any look

• Ceremonies and invitations: nude or metallic slingbacks with a midi dress; delicate sandals with a long dress. Mini bags and essential jewellery for an understated ensemble.
• Office and meetings: pointed pumps or polished loafers with a summer suit; neutral colours for maximum versatility.
• Weekend and travel: espadrilles with shirtdresses; leather sneakers with cropped jeans; ballet flats to transition from day to aperitif.

Size and fit guide

Designer women's shoes generally follow EU sizing. If you are between two sizes, consider half a size up for pointed toes or styles with straps; for wide-fit styles, stick to your usual size.

Always check the size guide and, if in doubt, ask for advice on the fit of the specific model.

Care and maintenance

• Smooth leather/Nappa: soft cloth, neutral cream and light water-repellent protection.
• Suede: specific brush, protective anti-stain spray; avoid direct contact with water.
• Raffia/Canvas: gentle dry cleaning; avoid harsh solvents.

Store shoes with shoe trees and dust bags, away from heat sources and direct light exposure.
