Show column

Dries Van Noten heels are wedges, slingbacks and mules rather than stilettos: a curved wedge under a T-bar pump in velvet, leather and embroidered viscose; a round-toe slingback in leather with snakeskin accents; heeled mules in velvet with a moiré effect; and, at the flat end, suede workwear mules, backless sneakers and a braided leather sandal. All are made in Italy and the house states the heel height in millimetres on every heeled pair. Coveti carries 14 pairs across 13 styles, $750 to $1,810, and this page lists them with the heel.

The wedges

The Velvet wedge pumps in Brique are squares-toed T-bar in velvet with a moiré motif on a curved wedge heel, in brique; the Leather wedge pumps in Black are the open version in black leather; the Embroidered wedge pumps in Black carry 3-D floral embroidery on viscose. The wedge is the house’s heel: stable, sculptural, and made for the wide trousers.

The slingbacks and the heeled mules

The Leather slingback pumps in Olive are round-toe slingbacks in leather with snakeskin accents. The Heeled velvet mules in Green are slip-on round-toe mules in velvet with an elongated heel; the heeled sneaker mule and the heeled penny loafer are the other lifted slip-ons.

The flats

The Suede workwear mules in Dark Purple are slip-on suede mules on a low block; the Suede sneaker mules in Black and White are the backless suede sneaker; the Braided leather sandals in Black are the flat square-toed sandal with a braided upper.

Fit and care

True to size; go down a size in the calf slingbacks if you are between. Velvet wants a brush in the direction of the pile and nothing wet; suede a brush and a protector; leather a soft cloth. The shoe size guide has the table and the heel heights.
