We feel good when we look good. An impressive outfit begins with the perfect pair of shoes. After all, your feet carry you all day, so shoes must be the foundation of your ensemble.
What is the perfect pair of shoes?
The best shoes are the ones that fit your personal style, your feet, and your actual activity.
Stilettissimo
Shoes you feel utterly comfortable with. At Stilettissimo, we believe that your shoes should allow your personality to shine. They must emphasise your individual style.
A luxury shoe must always be comfortable. You should be able to walk in it for long periods and, naturally, move through an office day with ease. There is a shoe for every occasion. If you try to climb a mountain wearing high heels, it is not the shoe’s fault, as mountaineering requires specialised footwear. Choose the right shoes for the right occasion.
A heel that is too high or too thin to walk with ease is neither luxury nor elegant. A beautifully handcrafted shoe with a low kitten heel is far more sophisticated than a 12-centimetre stiletto that makes your gait unsteady.
Heels Have Power
Most women remember their first pair of high heels and never forget how they made them feel.
They make you feel more elegant; they make you stand taller, and they influence your gait. In other words, they transform your entire appearance and have the power to make you fall in love with yourself.
What Luxury Heels Are
There is a common misconception that high heels are uncomfortable and harmful.
True luxury shoes never hurt
- Stilettissimo
While a cheaply made mass product may negatively affect your feet, true luxury footwear will never do this.
Stilettissimo shoes are all lined and softly padded, while our skilled artisans ensure the heel and the shoe are in perfect balance, guaranteeing unparalleled comfort. A luxury shoe is handcrafted, boasts a unique design, is made of first-class materials, and is exclusive. At Stilettissimo, we create only limited-edition shoes, and each pair is individually numbered.
How to find the perfect heel?
Never, never, never is luxury determined by the height of your heel.
- Stilettissimo
However, you must select the right heel for you.
Stiletto vs Block Heels
If a stiletto feels insecure, opt for a block heel. Its stability makes it easier to walk in, especially in the city.
Plateau Soles
A plateau sole allows you to wear higher heels as the inclination of your foot is less steep. We recommend plateaus not higher than 2.5 centimetres to maintain elegance in your gait.
Walk Safely
Some women may slip out of their shoes, even in the correct size. Choose shoes with ankle straps, T-bars, or Mary Jane straps to prevent this.
The Right Width
If your shoes are perfect in length but tight in width, avoid patent leather. Patent leather is rigid due to its varnish. Instead, choose napa leather, satin, raffia, suede, or naplack. Naplack is genuine leather, shiny like patent but soft like napa.
Lower Heels
A low-heeled shoe can be very attractive and elegant if beautifully made. Imagine a ballerina or loafer with an extraordinary buckle or another exquisite accessory. All eyes will be on your shoes.
The Right Soles
Polished leather soles are prone to slipping, which is why we avoid them.
- Summer Shoes: We use nubuck leather. Its unpolished surface gives better grip.
- Winter and Four-Seasons Shoes: We use leather soles with a rubber inlay or genuine rubber soles.
Every Stilettissimo shoe is designed to celebrate your individuality. Handcrafted by the best Italian artisans, comfort and beauty, each pair is a statement of style and confidence.
Luxury is not only in the materials or the design, but in the way it makes you feel every step of the way.
