Peep Toe Wedges

A wedge built on a contrast of finishes: matte black vegan nubuck through the body of the shoe, high-shine patent vegan leather across the toe. The two meet in a crossover at the front that opens into a peep, and the patent catches the light exactly where the eye lands. Everything else stays quiet — a clean topline, an open T-cut through the middle of the foot, and a rounded heel counter that keeps the back closed.

The wedge is the architecture. At 5cm it's covered entirely in the same nubuck as the upper, so the sole reads as part of the shoe rather than a block underneath it, and it slopes evenly forward so the foot is lifted rather than tipped. Along the base runs a flexible TR outsole with a ribbed tread — a fine scalloped edge visible in profile, and grip where you need it.

Inside, the pale footbed is trimmed to match the patent at the toe, so the same contrast carries through under the foot. A layered insole with a soft memory-foam top on a recycled PU base (20% recycled PU) sits beneath, which is what makes a 5cm wedge as walkable as it is.

They're smart without being formal, and easy to place: cropped or skinny jeans with a plain tee, a midi dress, a slip skirt, wide black trousers when you want the height without the effort of a heel. The mix of matte and shine keeps them interesting up close and simple from a distance.
