Women's shoes for all seasons

What women's shoes for autumn and winter?

Women's autumn and winter shoes keep you warm and dry, from ankle to knee.

• Women's ankle boots stop at the ankle and can be worn with both trousers and dresses.
• Women's boots come up to the calf or knee, made from leather, rubber, or lined for snow.
• Women's slippers keep your feet warm at home.

What women's shoes for spring and summer?

Summer shoes expose the foot and allow the skin to breathe.

• Sandals and espadrilles include flat, wedge, and anatomical sole styles.
• Mules and flip-flops slip on easily, for both the city and the beach.

What shoes to wear all year round?

Some basic pairs can be worn in all seasons, with almost any outfit.

• Women's sneakers, low or high top, are the most comfortable for walking.
• Flats include loafers, ballet pumps, and derbies for city and office wear.
• Heels and court shoes dress up an outfit for work or an evening out.

How to choose comfortable shoes?

Comfortable shoes hold the heel without pinching, leave space for the toes, and cushion each step. An insole that follows the arch of the foot, a firm counter, and a slight heel are less tiring than a completely flat shoe.

For wide feet or bunions, choose a round toe, soft leather, and an adjustable closure, like laces, Velcro, or a strap that fits the foot rather than squeezing it.

How to find the right shoe size?

Measure your foot with your heel against a wall, up to the tip of your longest toe, at the end of the day when your foot is a bit larger. Compare this foot length to each brand's size guide: a size doesn't always correspond to the same length.

Leave about a centimetre in front of the toes in a sneaker, a little less in a city shoe. If your feet differ in size, choose the size of the larger one.

How to care for your shoes?

Smooth leather is cleaned dry, nourished with a suitable cream, and protected with a waterproofing spray. Suede and nubuck are brushed and protected before the first wear. Always let wet shoes air dry, away from a radiator, with newspaper inside.

Alternating two pairs from one day to the next allows the leather to dry and extends the life of your leather shoes.

What women's shoe brands to choose?

These shoe brands each have their specialty, from anatomical comfort to canvas sneakers.

• At Birkenstock, a German brand, everything starts with the anatomical sole, like those of the Madrid and Arizona sandals.
• Asics, a Japanese brand born in Kobe, relaunches its iconic running shoes in a lifestyle version.
• Comfort is the focus at Tamaris: the German brand equips many of its shoes with patented technologies.
• Victoria, a Spanish brand from La Rioja, is known for its canvas vulcanised trainers.
• Buffalo has made a name for itself with its platform soles and has a large part of its collection in vegan materials.
• Les Tropéziennes by M. Belarbi, born in Saint-Tropez with its sandals, works with iridescent, woven, or cut leathers.

Where to find the other collections?

Outfits can be put together with women's clothing, from jeans to dresses, and accessories complete the look.

Frequently asked questions

How many pairs of shoes should you have for the whole year?

A base of a few pairs covers most situations: a pair of trainers, ankle boots, a flat city shoe, a pair of heels, and sandals for summer. Neutral colours make them compatible with your entire wardrobe.

How to stretch a shoe that is too tight?

Wear it at home with thick socks, while gently heating the tight area with a hairdryer. An adjustable shoe tree or a leather softening spray will stretch the leather where it pinches; synthetic materials stretch much less.

What shoes for wide feet?

Choose a round or square toe, soft leather or a mesh upper, and an adjustable closure. Some brands offer differing widths for the same size: check the width indicated on the product sheet.

How to waterproof shoes?

Apply a suitable waterproofing spray for the material on clean, dry shoes, from about twenty centimetres away, then leave to dry overnight. Repeat regularly during the rainy season.

How to prevent bad odours in shoes?

Allow your shoes to air dry between wears, wear natural fibre socks, and sprinkle baking soda into closed pairs at night. Cedar or charcoal insoles absorb moisture.
