Orleans Shoe Co. — Fitted in Person
L'Amour des Pieds
"The love of feet." Soft kid suede, lamba and metallic nappa dress shoes, sandals and boots with a flexible arch that shapes to your foot.
The thing everybody gets wrong
Dressy Doesn't Mean Stiff
Most dress shoes make your foot bend to fit them. L'Amour des Pieds goes the other way: glove-soft leather and an arch that molds to your foot as you wear it. Dressy enough for a gala, soft enough that you'll forget about your feet.
What We Carry
Everyday kid suede
The Orva, Odetta, Hadirat, Cantura and Gracen, in black, coffee, chocolate and taupe.
Dressy and metallic
The Cyra, Karsha, Estefana and Mahiya in champagne, platino and white gold. The Bamelle adds stones or glitter for a night out.
Sandals
The Amadour platform sandal in suede and linen, which also comes in wide, plus the Catiana in raffia.
Boots for fall
The Pamby suede boot and more cold-weather styles as they come in.
How L'Amour des Pieds Should Fit
- Narrow through the heel, so your heel stays put
- Kid suede and lamba are soft from day one and give a little more with wear
- The arch shapes to your foot over the first few wears
- Metallic nappa and patent won't stretch as much, so they should feel right at the start
Why We Carry It
For a wedding, a Carnival ball or just a nice dinner, it's one of our favorite answers to "I need a dress shoe I can actually wear." Handmade in Brazil in leathers soft enough to feel like a glove.
