There’s a time and place for stilettos, chunky heels and pointy-toed boots – for every other time, there’s flats, sneakers, wedges and slides.

With the Valentino Garavani VLogo Locker Mary Janes, look trendy in feminine low-profile style, in a throwback to a classic.

Easily wearable with a wide range of day and night ensembles, this new footwear silhouette goes a step further in functionality through its foldable back, allowing the shoe to seamlessly transition to a relaxed, daywear slip-on.

For style that contributes to a good cause, look no further than the Christian Louboutin x Idris Elba Fun Vieira sneakers.

In the brand’s third collaboration with the British actor and his model wife, the Walk A Mile In My Shoes (Wamims) capsule collection includes the timeless sneaker style in multicoloured printed calf leather.

Also, 100% of the proceeds from sales from the collection will be donated to six charities around the world: The Gathering For Justice, Elman Peace, Immediate Theatre, The Raining Season, Casa93 and Afrikids.

Roger Vivier’s Viv’ By The Sea mule is the brand’s latest iconic summer sandal, featuring a buckle fixed only on the straps – the buckle itself is a reinterpretation of the classic square buckle, now rounder and softer.

A new pair of Suede Gommino Loafers from Tod’s is the perfect casual elegant pair of shoes.

The brand has put a summer–ready twist on one of its most–coveted loafers, with this pair featuring meticulously woven raffia detailing and the brand’s signature Double T Ring at the upper sides.
