Show column

Dries Van Noten shoes are the house’s quiet success: made in Italy, calf-lined and calf-soled, sized on EU 35 to 42, and cut to the same textile-first logic as the clothes, so a loafer comes in snakeskin-printed calf, a pump in velvet with a moiré motif, a sneaker in suede with a creased toe, a boot in contrast leather patchwork. Coveti carries 21 styles, $730 to $2,710, every pair marked Made in Italy. This guide sorts them by type, gives the heel height the house states, and links the fit guide.

The sneakers

The Suede sneakers in Black are the house shoe: suede and mesh, creased toe, thin sole, “inspired by 70s marathon spirit” in the house’s words. It comes in suede, leather and heeled versions and as a backless mule; the sneaker page lists every one. The Leather ballerina sneakers in Black are ballerinas on the same soft thin sole.

The loafers and the boots

The Leather loafers in Tan are square-toed in two-toned leather; the penny loafers come in snakeskin-printed and embossed calf, one of them heeled. The loafer page has the four. The Leather biker boots in Black are slip-on bikers with a top buckle, the Heeled leather Chelsea boots in Black a heeled square-toed Chelsea, the patchwork boot an over-the-knee in contrast leather; the boot page covers them.

The heels, mules and sandals

The Velvet wedge pumps in Brique are T-bars on a curved wedge in velvet with a moiré motif, and the leather and embroidered wedge pumps share the sole. The Leather slingback pumps in Olive are round-toe slingbacks with snakeskin accents. The heeled velvet mules, the Suede sneaker mules in Black and White and the suede workwear mules are the slip-ons, and the Braided leather sandals in Black are the one flat sandal. The heels and mules page lists them.

Fit

Take your usual EU size; between sizes, go up in suede and down in calf slingbacks. EU 38 is UK 5 and US 8 on the house scale, and the shoe size guide has the full table.
