Summer Does Not Ask Permission. Neither Does the Solstice.
There is a confidence that comes from footwear that refuses to compromise — shoes that understand a woman's stride is her signature. The Solstice Heel sandal is engineered for the intersection of architecture and ease: a sculptural high heel wrapped in genuine suede, grounded by an anti-slip rubber outsole that transforms unstable terrain into a runway. The open-toe geometry frames the foot with deliberate negative space, while the side-zip entry eliminates the indignity of wrestling with buckles in the entryway.
The upper is cut from genuine split suede — soft to the touch, breathable against bare skin, and forgiving across the instep during the first wear. A cushioned footbed with micro-arch support distributes pressure across the metatarsal zone, extending walkable wear time by an estimated 40% over flat-footbed heels in the same category. The ankle strap is reinforced with double-stitched stress points and a metal buckle with a safety roller to prevent strap fraying. The zipper mechanism uses YKK-grade teeth on a nylon coil track — tested to 5,000 cycles without degradation.
Available in classic black, camel tan, and blush nude across EU 35–42. The 9 cm heel is pitched at a 110° angle — steep enough to create the elongation effect that high heels are known for, shallow enough to maintain stability during a 4-hour dinner. The platform forefoot reduces the effective heel drop to approximately 7 cm, meaning the foot sits at a more natural angle than the external measurement suggests. This is geometry disguised as fashion.
The right pair of heels does not complete an outfit. It defines the perimeter of what the outfit is allowed to be.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are these comfortable for all-day wear?
A: The Solstice Heel is designed for 4–6 hours of event wear. The cushioned footbed with micro-arch support, combined with the 2 cm platform that reduces effective heel drop, makes these significantly more wearable than standard 9 cm stilettos. For full-day office wear, we recommend alternating with flats during commute.
Q: How does the side zipper hold up over time?
A: The zipper uses a nylon coil track rated for 5,000+ open/close cycles. The zipper pull is reinforced at the attachment point. To maximize longevity, unzip fully before removing the sandal rather than forcing the foot out with the zipper partially engaged.
Q: Is the suede treated for water resistance?
A: The suede is not pre-treated with a waterproof coating. We recommend applying a suede protector spray before first wear. Avoid wearing in rain or wet conditions — water spots can permanently mark untreated suede.
Q: Do these fit true to size?
A: Yes, the Solstice Heel fits true to EU sizing. The open-toe design provides additional room for toe spread, and the adjustable ankle strap allows for ~1 cm of circumference adjustment. If you have a particularly narrow heel, the strap can be tightened to the innermost hole.
