To "prevent the woman from walking sadly", George and Rosa Carel introduced in 1952 the trotter heel to the antipodes of the needle. Carel has kept this philosophy today: if the shoe rises, its heel widens, so the woman continues her joyful walk.
While browsing through Carel collections from the 60s, our team of stylists wanted to refresh this design of mary janes with a single strap and square toe.
With its 6.5 centimeters and its flared width, the Caren's heel gives a curve to your legs and energizes your silhouette: stable and stylish, between modern power and vintage charm, you're ready for a walk hand in hand on the Pont des Arts.
Our Spanish workshops declined the Caren in different colors and materials, to discover above.

Care advice
Our patent leather shoes are already waterproof treated. Patent leather is a material that requires regular maintenance :
- Place raw wooden shoe trees, ideally made of beech wood in your shoes to absorb moisture.
- Keep them away from dust and any source of heat, storaged in a furniture or a shoe box.
- Clean, moisturize and polish them once or twice a month (! leather cream is forbidden !).
The Carel advice
Do not expose them to heat sources such as hair dryers or radiators; the leather may crack.

EACH SHOE IS UNIQUE AS YOU ARE ;)
90% of our shoes are handmade in exclusive italian fabrics. Size may vary from one design to another. We advise you, once you take your measurements, to refer to the tab "Size & Advice" that you can find below the button "Add to cart" .
How to measure your size ?
Our tip:
While wearing a sock, place your foot against a wall on a sheet of paper long enough to keep your foot from sticking out.
Be sure to keep your heel firmly against the wall and your foot flat.
Make a small mark in front of your longest toe.
Finally, measure the distance between the end of your sheet and the mark you made.
If the length is between two sizes, round up to the biggest one.
