Summer shoes: Elegant, airy, yet utterly comfortable!

As a confident woman you know what you want—and your choice of shoes is a decisive complement to your personal style. With chic sandals you can achieve a fresh, feminine look without having to compromise on comfort.

Artigiano offers you a wide selection of sandals made from quality materials designed to support your feet on hot days, combining stylish design with a relaxed fit.

Give your feet the holiday vibe with Artigiano’s collection of ladies’ sandals straight from the catwalks of Italy, in designs that will be sure to draw looks, at the office or on the beach!

Sandals for women—when less is more

As temperatures heat up you need shoes that don’t restrict your feet or make you feel uncomfortable. Sandals are the best choice for the warm season. And while you may think classic sandals are just flat shoes with a few straps to hold your feet you’ll find there are many styles available that cover the whole range from elegant to bohemian. Find out how to look gorgeous with your next pair of summer shoes, and don‘t forget to browse for a matching handbag and accessories like fashionable sunglasses to complete your look!

Stylish sandals for professional or festive outfits

Elegant, open summer shoes are just one step away from ballet pumps – like crossover sandals with a slingback. They provide a firm enough hold on your foot while leaving the better part of it uncovered. You may opt for a minimalist design or fashionable accents like bows, rhinestones or cutout detailing. Elegant sandals underline your style on formal or festive occasions, but they won’t look out of place with stylish trousers or your favourite summer dress.

Strappy sandals: step out in style

Strappy sandals are classics. They combine delicate looks with a comfortable fit and, depending on the design, go just as well with a relaxed, retro look as with a professional outfit for office hours. These chic sandals don’t have to be flat—medium heels, block heels and wedges are among the options to choose from if you want to elongate your legs a little.

Roman sandals: firm support and a classic look

Summer is the time when you want to be out and about—for holidays, festivals or concerts. You want sandals that keep your feet as cool as possible while offering great comfort and support. Roman sandals, sometimes called gladiator sandals, with their many straps up to the ankles (and sometimes beyond) make sure that you never lose your footing. The casual summer shoes go well with dresses or skirts, but also with jeans or summer trousers.

Comfortable walking shoes to support your feet

Ideal not only for trekking or hiking, but also for staying cool while on your feet, open-toed walking shoes with a cushioned sole provide support through the day. Lightweight soles and easy-to-close, no-chafe straps come in fashionable colours and designs that also make trekking sandals perfect for the city.

You can easily round off your look with accessories that conjure up a holiday feeling – like bright scarves, belts and stylish jewellery!

Being comfortable in your sandals

Sandals will be divinely cool on your feet—particularly when you have a perfect fit. If your summer shoes are too large, your feet will slip and slide, causing friction and blisters. If they are too tight, you won’t be able to wear them for too long. Here’s how to make sure your sandals fit well:

• Your feet and ankles usually swell a little during the day, especially in summer. For a good fit, try on sandals in the afternoon!
• Your toes should not protrude beyond the tip of the sole.
• Ankle straps or ties should be soft and pliable, but firm enough to support your feet.
• Styles with velcro straps or adjustable buckles can be adjusted to your foot during the day.

Caring for summer shoes

Sandals really have to put up with a lot of stress while carrying you through summer. Here are our tips to make sure your favourite walking shoes stay fresh and clean:

• Summer shoes quickly gather dust. Most sandals can be cleaned by wiping them with a damp cloth.
• The straps of leather sandals can be cleaned with shoe polish or a suede brush.
• Stains can be removed with a dash of liquid detergent on a piece of cloth.
• In time the sole, heel and straps of summer sandals will gather sweat. To eliminate smells, put your sandals in a plastic bag and store in the freezer for a few hours. Deodorizing foot powder helps prevent sweaty feet.
• Difficult to clean materials, like raffia soles on wedge sandals, should be waterproofed with special sprays immediately after purchase to avoid dirt getting too deep into the fibres.
