Corinne - Open-Toe Faux Suede Flats

The shoes you reach for when you want to look put together in a hurry

Corinne slips on and finishes the outfit. Soft faux suede, a clean open toe and a flat sole make these easy to wear with a dress in the afternoon and with jeans in the evening.

Soft faux suede, quietly smart

The upper has the matte, velvety look of suede without the fuss that comes with the real thing. It holds its shape through the day and reads as considered rather than casual, even with something as simple as trousers and a shirt.

A closed back, so they stay on

The heel is covered rather than open, and the suede wraps right around the back of the foot. You are not gripping with your toes to keep the shoe on, which is what makes an open-toe shoe comfortable to walk any real distance in.

Flat, light and easy to walk in

There is no heel to negotiate and the sole is light underfoot. These are the pair you can wear to the shops, out to lunch and home again without thinking about your feet.

Open where it counts

The open toe and cut-away sides let air move around the foot, which makes a real difference on a warm day. It is also the detail that keeps a flat shoe from looking heavy.

Six colors that go with what you already own

Tan and olive sit quietly with almost everything in the wardrobe. Raspberry, pink, mustard and fuchsia are there for the days when you want the shoes to be the interesting part.

Looking after them

Wipe clean with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Do not soak them or use anything abrasive. Keep them out of direct sunlight and away from radiators, let them dry naturally, and store them somewhere dry and airy.

Corinne is the kind of flat you buy in one color and come back for in another. Simple, soft and easy on the feet, which is usually all you want from a summer shoe.
