YSL Sandals: Tribute, Opyum, Cassandra and Flat Sandals

Saint Laurent sandals are some of the house’s best-known shoes, led by the Tribute platform and the Opyum with the YSL heel. Shop Saint Laurent sandals and mules at Coveti.

Tribute

A platform sandal with interlaced straps and an ankle strap, made in two heights and in patent and smooth leather. A flat Tribute also exists.

Opyum

The sandal whose heel is the Cassandre in metal. It comes in several heel heights.

Strappy stilettos

Fine straps on a high stiletto, with ankle ties and thin buckles. These are the evening sandals.

Tribute heights and platforms

The Tribute comes in two heights. The taller version stands about 13.5 cm overall on a 3 cm platform, so it feels close to a 10.5 cm heel. The lower version is easier for long evenings. The flat Tribute keeps the interlaced straps on a flat sole.

How to wear YSL sandals

A Tribute with wide trousers and a fitted top. The Opyum with a short black dress. Strappy stilettos with a slip dress. Flat thongs with linen trousers and a white shirt in summer.

Fit

Strappy sandals show the foot, so the fit at the toe matters less than at the ankle strap. Take your usual European size. See the size guide.

Care

Wipe the leather after each wear, keep patent apart from other shoes and use heel caps on stilettos.

Flat sandals

Leather thongs and flat slides with the Cassandre, for summer.

Frequently Asked Questions

How high is the YSL Tribute?

Saint Laurent makes the Tribute in two heights, and the taller version stands about 13.5 cm overall on a 3 cm platform.

Are YSL Tribute sandals comfortable?

The platform lowers the effective height, so they are easier to walk in than a stiletto of the same height.
