JW PEI sandals: heeled, flat and slides, and the pairs worth buying

JW PEI sandals split cleanly in two: strappy heeled sandals for evenings and weddings, and flat sandals and slides for summer days. Coveti carries 60 pairs from $250 to $340, 56 heeled and 4 flat.

Key facts

• 60 JW PEI sandals at Coveti, $250 to $340.
• 56 sandals on a 3 to 9.5 cm heel and 4 flat sandals.
• Families include the Alivia, Isadora, Lexi, Lilah, Noemi, Serena and Mireille.
• Uppers in vegan leather, satin, mesh, terry towelling, denim and woven cotton; the Fluffy flat sandal lists feather in the upper.
• The brand advises half a size up on the Piper platform sandal.

Heeled sandals

The Alivia is the largest family, a strappy heeled sandal in several finishes. The Noemi has a wide strap, a square toe and a metal accent on a 9.5 cm heel. The Mireille is the romantic one, mesh embroidered with flowers and finished with a bow. These are wedding-guest and party shoes; pair them with a midi dress so the straps show.

Flat and low sandals

The low pairs are for holidays and hot cities: the Fluffy flat sandal on a 1 cm sole, which JW PEI lists in vegan leather and feather; the Lilah woven cotton platform on 3 cm; and the Lexi family on 4.5 cm, in a terry towelling slide, a denim-embossed sandal and a faux fur platform. They go with linen, denim shorts and summer dresses. Keep the towelling and woven pairs dry; they are not beach shoes.

Sizing

JW PEI sizes sandals in US numbers; Coveti lists EU from the brand chart, explained in the shoe size guide. Strappy sandals forgive half a size more than closed shoes. The one stated exception is the Piper platform sandal, where the brand recommends half a size up.

Sandals by occasion

Weddings and black tie: the Isadora lily sandals and the Alivia calla lily heel in satin, both on 9.5 cm, with a long dress. Garden parties and long lunches: the Serena orchid toe-ring sandal on a 4 cm heel, which is low enough for grass. City summer: the Alivia gold metal heel in vegan leather and denim, which copes with pavements and goes with jeans. Holidays: the Lilah woven platform and the Lexi terry slide, with linen and swimwear cover-ups.

Care

Wipe vegan leather straps with a soft dry cloth after wear. Satin and embroidered mesh mark with water and sun cream, so put the sandals on after you have dressed. Terry towelling and woven cotton should be brushed clean and dried naturally, never on a radiator. Store each sandal in its dust bag so the metal heels do not scratch the straps of the other shoe.

What to wear them with

Heeled sandals with a slip dress, a satin skirt and a Gabbi for the evening; flat sandals with straight jeans, a white tank and a Yara shoulder bag for the day. For holidays, a woven sandal and a straw bag are the whole outfit.
