Leather shoes for women: choosing the right pair

The right leather shoes can make any outfit, whether you’re pairing them with jeans for a casual day, or something a little more elegant. Naturally, it’s essential to choose the right leather shoes.
It’s more than just the style of the shoe, it’s the type of leather used, and how the shoes are made. If you want the best leather shoes for women, you need to understand your options.

The Importance of quality leather shoes

Not all leather is created equal. There are several factors that define how good leather is. The most obvious is the grain. That’s the visible element of your leather.
If you want the best leather shoes for women you need to choose full-grain leather. It looks the most natural, has a textured appearance, and is supple, ensuring comfort. Full-grain leather is also durable and breathable.
Top-grain leather is nearly as good as full-grain. It’s made in the same way but buffed, leaving a smooth, perfect finish. It can be easier to look after than full-grain leather.
Most other, lower-standard, leather shoes are classified as genuine leather. This must be genuine leather but there is no guarantee about the quality.
High-quality leather shoes will retain their shape, look, and style. They’ll be soft, supple, comfortable, breathable, and less likely to pick up foot odors.
In short, they’ll complete your outfit time and time again and they will love your feet as they should be loved.

Exploring different styles of leather shoes

Leather shoes can be purchased in an array of different styles. Before you start looking it’s important to assess the quality of the manufacturer. If you want shoes that are stylish and will last, you need to choose handcrafted leather women’s shoes, such as those provided by Jennifer Tattanelli.

Ankle Boots

These are perhaps the most versatile additions to any woman’s wardrobe. The classic ankle boot can be dressed up, or down, depending on the occasion. As the name suggests, these are ankle height and you’ll find a huge array of styles.
This stylish pair of suede sock booties from JT has a 70mm museum heel, allowing them to pair elegantly with skirts, leggings, and even dress pants.

Loafers

Loafers are slip-on shoes without laces. They are convenient, comfortable, and generally have small heels. Women’s leather loafers generally have simple lines, visible top stitching, and stylish details, such as beads or tassels on the top.

Heels

Heels are the perfect choice when you want to enjoy a glamorous evening. They can also be paired with jeans for a more casual look. All you have to do is choose the height of the heel and the style of the shoe.
There are many to choose from. You may prefer to select heels made with top-grade leather as the shine will help to create an elegant finish to your look.

Sandals

Sandals come in many forms, and many of them can be made of leather.

Perhaps the best all-round option is the platform wedge sandal. A handcrafted wedge can be paired with summer dresses, skirts, and almost any other summer garment you can think of. Best of all, the right pair can be worn day or night, allowing you to transition perfectly between events.

Caring for your leather shoes

Leather needs to breathe, that’s why we recommend owning several pairs and giving each pair at least one day off after being worn.
To look after your leather shoes, stored them nicely on shelves and not one on top of each other. You should also use a leather shoe tree to help maintain their shape.
