When Anna Wintour, someone who could literally choose any shoes in the world, opts to wear the same pair every day, you take note. For the Vogue editor in chief, it’s Manolo Blahnik or nothing, and she’s famously been quoted saying she “just doesn’t even look” at other brands in the 2017 documentary about the designer’s life. Clearly she’s onto something, and Anna is not alone in her devotion to Manolos. From Diana to Kate, Meghan to Carrie (Bradshaw, of course)—the designer’s beautiful footwear has graced the feet of so many of the world’s most stylish and elegant women.
This fanbase is not just a result of them looking so fabulous (that too)— but it’s also because slipping one on genuinely feels like a Cinderella moment. Manolo designs for how a shoe looks and flatters the foot, yes, but one of his main concerns is also how they feel—something I think all women can appreciate. I was lucky enough to wear a pair of the Lurum heels on my wedding day, and let me tell you I never wanted to take them off, not even at 4am. Supreme quality, comfort and design details all add up to make Manolos the perfect shoes.
