Slingbacks... These shoes with undeniable charm balance timeless chic with bold modernity. Elegant, comfortable, and decidedly on-trend, they embody the perfect compromise between pumps and sandals.

Whether you're a fan of sharp style or a lover of practical and refined shoes, it's time to dive into the world of slingbacks. Follow our guide, as we reveal all the secrets of this iconic shoe.

What is a slingback?

If we had to sum up the slingback in a few words: a shoe with a closed heel at the front and held in place by a back strap. Neither completely enclosed nor completely open, it offers the perfect balance between elegance and comfort.

Why wear slingbacks to work?

- Comfort above all : walking all day in heels without pain? It's possible! Thanks to their adjustable strap and their design designed to fit the foot without compressing it, slingbacks offer incomparable stability and support.

No more suffering from tight pumps, hello assured style from morning to night!

- Effortless elegance : With their slim silhouette and delicate heel (kitten heels or higher depending on your mood), they elongate the silhouette without overdoing it. They pair equally well with tailored trousers, a pencil skirt, or even well-cut jeans for a chic, relaxed look.

- A touch of originality: Because boredom has no place in your wardrobe, opt for slingbacks in vibrant colors, bold prints, or textured materials. At humaya, we focus on models that liven up your outfits while remaining refined.

How to choose the right slingbacks?

• Heel height : opt for a kitten heel (3-5 cm) for optimal comfort or dare to go for a higher heel for a bold look.

• The material : leather for a sophisticated touch, suede for a soft and chic look, or printed fabric for a touch of fantasy.

• The color : timeless black, nude, or white go with everything. But why not indulge in a flamboyant red or a deep denim blue?

Maintenance: your long-term allies

Because your slingbacks deserve all your attention, a few simple steps are enough to keep them impeccable:

• Rain and stain protection for unpredictable days.

• A brush stroke for leather or suede.

• A shoe tree to preserve their shape.
