Alexander Wang Heels: The Cher Mule, Julie Sandal and Every Style Explained
Alexander Wang Heels: The Cher Mule, Julie Sandal and Every Style Explained
Alexander Wang heels are sharp, high and often covered in crystal. The core styles are the Cher mule, the Julie and Nova sandals and the pointed Akila, Akilita and Buffy pumps, most of them on a 105mm stiletto, with a kitten 35mm and a 65mm block for daytime. Shop them all in designer heels, mules and sandals, and see the full edit at Alexander Wang at Coveti.
The Cher mule
The Cher is a single-band mule on a slim 105mm heel. It comes plain in black, in vintage denim, in faux fur for winter and in crystal hotfix in black and silver, black and jet, brown and light pink. There is also a 35mm kitten version. It is the brand’s best-known heel because it works with everything: barrel jeans, a slip dress, track pants. Shop the Cher crystal mule.
The Julie and Nova sandals
The Julie is a barely-there 105mm sandal, sold with tubular nylon straps, crystal hotfix satin straps, a crystal coil that wraps the ankle and an alexanderwang billboard strap. The Nova adds zipper straps, in a double-strap version and a slingback. For the night these are the pairs to pick. Read more in our guide to rhinestone heels.
Pumps and slingbacks
The Akila is a pointed 105mm pump with a zip; the Akilita is its slingback sister; the Buffy is a 105mm slingback with a logo-embossed strap, also made in denim. For a lower heel the Slasher and Fei come on a 65mm kitten-style heel, with zip and stretch versions.
How high are Alexander Wang heels?
The heel height is in the name: 105mm is about 4.1 inches, 85mm about 3.3 inches, 65mm about 2.6 inches and 35mm about 1.4 inches. The 85mm styles are platform slides, so they feel lower than they look.
How to wear them
The house formula is high and low at once. Wear the Cher crystal mule with barrel jeans and a fitted tank, the Julie with a black mini dress, and the Buffy with track pants. Keep jewellery small when the shoe has crystal on it.
