Coral Blue jewel sandals
A jewel sandal is the sandal in which the decorative element is not an added detail but the structure of the shoe itself: here the band across the instep carries a rhinestone buckle, and it is that buckle that gives the model its name and its shape. The whole page is given to this family, with an open toe and a heel of two and a half centimetres, the same on every model in stock. Two and a half centimetres is a height you can stand in for hours without pushing the weight onto the forefoot, and that is the practical difference between a shoe for a ceremony and a shoe you keep on for the whole ceremony.
The closure is slip-on across the range: there is no ankle strap to adjust, so the foot is held by the front band alone. That changes how you pick the size. On a sandal with an adjustable strap, half a size up can be pulled back in by tightening; here it cannot, because a loose band lets the foot slide forward and the open toe shows it at once. Anyone halfway between two sizes is better off, on these models, with the smaller one.
The footbed is contoured, in padded leather, on every model on the page: it means the surface underfoot is not flat but follows the curve of the arch, and that above it sits a soft layer covered in leather. That is why a sandal with a thin sole can hold up for a whole day. The uppers alternate woven leather, which widens slightly with wear and takes the shape of the foot, and fabric, which instead keeps its original measurement. The soles come in two kinds as well: rubber, light and flexible, and leather, stiffer at first and to be kept away from water.
For upkeep what matters most is the buckle: rhinestones go dull on contact with hairspray, perfume and sun cream, so wipe them with a dry cloth after every wear and never treat them with liquid cleaners. Woven leather is brushed following the direction of the weave, never across it, because dust settles at the crossing points. To see the whole sandal offer in stock, beyond this page, there is the dedicated category: sandals for women.
