ESTÉE, in pink, was handcrafted from a supple and smooth Spanish leather. She is a solid, dare we say it, “millennial pink” menswear-inspired oxford with tonal laces, a round toe and perforated brogue detailing.
Differentiating her from a traditional shoe, she has a chunky 3 tiered leather outsole (or welt), adding a little more oomph and drama. The heel is half rubber, making it easy to replace by a cobbler when it gets worn down from use.
Oxfords can be distinguished from other types of shoes by their lacing, the facing and quarter sections of the shoe anatomy are stitched underneath the vamp of the shoe. This makes the shoe less flexible but it looks damn good and was designed as a foolproof formal shoe.
She is the perfect semi-formal shoe and will punch up your wardrobe and your day. Even though the Oxford shoe was inspired by formal-wear, you shouldn't be deterred from wearing ESTÉE with any outfit you desire, from mini-skirts or shorts to the perfect dress or suit. Just like the forward thinking woman these shoes were named for, you'll never be basic.
