Quick answer

If you want a classic strappy sandal with a platform for extra lift, go with LIDIA. If you prefer a sleek pointed-toe silhouette with Swarovski crystal detailing, choose OLIVIA.

Heel height and platform: same height, different feel

Both LIDIA and OLIVIA share a 10 cm heel, but LIDIA adds a 2 cm platform. That platform reduces the effective pitch, making the heel feel slightly more stable for extended wear. OLIVIA lacks a platform, so the arch is steeper and the foot sits at a sharper angle.

Materials and detailing: vinyl patent vs. Swarovski crystals

LIDIA is made from vinyl and patent leather, giving it a glossy, durable finish that works for both day and evening. OLIVIA steps up the glamour with Swarovski crystals on the vamp and a pearl white and specchio silver colorway. If you want understated shine, choose LIDIA; if you want head-turning sparkle, OLIVIA is the clear winner.

LIDIA vs. OLIVIA: key tradeoffs

  • Comfort and stability: LIDIA's 2 cm platform reduces the effective drop, making the 10 cm heel feel more balanced for walking or standing. OLIVIA's steeper pitch is better for short wear or seated occasions.
  • Visual impact: OLIVIA's Swarovski crystals and metallic finish create a high-glam look that draws attention. LIDIA's vinyl patent sheen is elegant but more subtle.
  • Versatility: LIDIA's three color options (DORADO, PLATEADO, NUDE) and classic strappy design pair with everything from jeans to cocktail dresses. OLIVIA's pearl white and specchio silver are more statement-making and less neutral. If one sandal must work for multiple outfits, LIDIA offers more flexibility.

Product facts

  • LIDIA: LIDIA has a 10 cm heel with a 2 cm platform and a strappy upper in vinyl and patent leather. The platform makes the 10 cm heel feel more walkable, and the vinyl/patent leather offers easy cleaning and lasting shine.

  • OLIVIA: OLIVIA features a pointed toe, Swarovski crystals on the vamp, and crossed straps on the instep, with a 10 cm heel and no platform. The crystals add instant evening elegance, but the lack of a platform means a steeper incline that may feel less stable for all-day wear.
