With These Boots, It’s All About the Details

Pointed toes, stilettos, and a clean palette - this pair of booties from Malone Souliers really stands out among all the trendy blocked heels this year. The grey plaid pattern makes the boots feel preppy and modern at the same time. No matter what outfit you’re wearing, this pair has the ability to transform your entire look. While the heels are 3 inches high, they are very comfortable to walk-in, which is rare among booties. 

My favorite part of this pair is the V-shape opening design. Together with the slim patent straps tracing the pointed toes, this design “extends” your calves and makes the leg to body ratio perfect.

Based in London and made in Italy, Malone Souliers shoes run deep from fashion blogs to Hollywood thanks to their unique design and attention to detail. In the five seasons since its launch, the brand has gained a global reputation for its delicately crafted collections with a truly unique and vivid palette of colourways.

Back in 2017, the brand became publicly recognizable with its Maureen flats. They are the perfect shoes to throw on with either casual jeans or formal clothes. Besides flats, Maureen pumps is also a classic design of this brand. The delicate arc and the velvet texture highlights the feminine beauty. More interestingly, the shoes mix and match the feminine elements with the metal stripe at the toes, creating a confident look.

“The last is the basis of all shoemaking,” says Mary Alice Malone, the creative designer of the brand, “It is a very old art. I give the makers directions, if I want high, pointy, more arched, more flat. We start to develop a shape that is wearable; you have to make sure the engineering is right. The last and the heel are the most technical parts of shoemaking. If a customer has wide feet, for example, I can alter the pattern accordingly.”

Beyond velvet, Malone Souliers also plays with different textures and subtle innovations - silk, crocodile skin, suede, etc. - on its simple designs. With its aesthetics and comfort, it is an understatement to say Malone Soulier shoes are wearable works of art.
