Secretique | Babies Richelieu Classiques Marie

A dress shoe shouldn't make you want to kick it off before noon!

Imagine a baby with an Oxford design, hand-perforated, smart enough for a meeting and soft enough for a full day's walking. That's exactly what the Marie does: the look of a dress shoe, the comfort of an everyday shoe.

• Brogue perforations
  The openwork design adorns the toe and vamp, like a man's Oxford reinterpreted for a woman's foot. It's this detail that gives the shoe its character, even when worn with simple jeans. The buckle strap immediately softens it.
• Soft and breathable lining
  The interior stays dry and fresh, even after several hours. No prominent seams rub the heel or little toe. You can wear them from day one, with no break-in period.
• Supportive insole
  The arch is supported, the forefoot cushioned: pressure is distributed instead of concentrating under the metatarsals. This is what changes everything after three hours on your feet.
• Non-slip sole
  A smooth shop floor or wet pavement no longer make you hesitate. The support is stable from heel to toe, and the flat sole maintains a natural gait.
• Sizing advice
  This model runs small: take one size above your usual size. With this precaution, the fit will be perfect right out of the box.

You've probably bought "special occasion" shoes that never left their box. These will do the opposite: they'll become the pair you wear on Monday as well as Saturday, until the leather molds perfectly to your foot.
