Quick answer
Style the IVY sandals with cropped trousers or midi skirts to highlight the square toe and metallic straps, and protect the leather with a waterproof spray before wear.
Why the IVY sandals stand out
The IVY sandals combine brown leather with two front straps in platinum specchio, giving them a metallic sheen that catches the light. The 4 cm square heel offers a stable lift, making them suitable for long days on your feet.
The square toe is a modern silhouette that pairs well with both tailored and relaxed outfits. Because the straps are metallic, they work as a neutral accent that can dress up casual looks without overpowering them.
Balancing comfort and style
While the block heel provides more stability than a stiletto, any heel can cause discomfort over time. To keep your feet happy, consider adding cushioned insoles if you plan to walk a lot, and break them in gradually at home before a full day out.
The specchio straps are shiny and may show scuffs more easily than matte leather. Handle them with care and avoid rubbing against rough surfaces.
How to style and care for your IVY sandals
- Choose the right outfit: Pair the IVY sandals with cropped trousers, midi skirts, or linen dresses to show off the square toe. Avoid wide-leg pants that cover the straps. Check that the metal straps are visible in your outfit.
- Protect the leather and specchio straps: Apply a waterproof spray made for leather before first wear. Reapply every few weeks, especially if you wear them often. Test the spray on a small area first to ensure it doesn't alter the finish.
- Clean them properly: Wipe the leather with a soft, dry cloth after each wear. For the specchio straps, use a slightly damp cloth and dry immediately. Avoid harsh cleaners that can dull the metallic finish. Never soak the straps or use abrasive brushes.
- Store them correctly: Keep the sandals in a dust bag or box away from direct sunlight and heat. Use shoe trees or stuff the toes with tissue to help them keep their shape. Avoid stacking heavy shoes on top of them.
- Rotate your shoes: Give the IVY sandals a day of rest between wears to let the leather breathe and recover. This helps prevent creases and extends their life. If you wear them daily, consider a second pair to alternate.
