Flatforms (men)

Flatforms for men are available as well, in all styles and colours!

Nudes

Nude Shoes （单鞋）

Pale, neutral shoes are not only perfect to be worn with summer dresses, but they also give the illusion of longer legs. A light coloured heel completes any feminine outfit. You can wear them even after the summer is over.

Clogs

Clogs （木底鞋）

Clogs got all the attention last year, and they continue to be a trend for summer. It use to be unfashionable but it is now gaining prestige with studs, wooden bottoms and leather uppers. Here is a tip: When you wear clogs, pair them with slightly higher hemlines to create the look of longer legs.
