Bottega Veneta Burgundy Shoes

Consider where you’ll wear them, the silhouette you prefer, and the fit: choose a heel height you can wear comfortably, the toe and strap design you like, and the overall leather quality and craftsmanship.

Focus on heel height (flat, mid, high), style (mule, slingback, sandal, loafer, espadrille), coverage (open- vs closed-toe), and strap or fastening details for security and comfort.

Think about occasion needs (back straps for support, weather-appropriate toe coverage), and features for all-day wear or travel (cushioned footbed, easy slip-on design, versatile fit).

For formal settings, lean toward a closed-toe option with a modest heel; for casual days, consider flats like mules or espadrilles; for travel, choose slip-ons with comfortable cushioning and versatile color.
