About the Brand
Dolce Vita is known for crafting timeless footwear you’ll want to show off season after season. Our comprehensive collection of designer shoes for women includes heels for every occasion, from cork platform sandals to simple suede block heels and even a strappy kitten heel that goes with everything. Get the height and comfort you crave with wedges, whether you opt for raffia espadrilles and pearl heels made for wedding season or braided slides that elevate your poolside ensemble.

Our soft leather and suede mules are three-season staples you can enjoy from spring until fall. The clog silhouette features a rounded toe and classic wood sole, while the pointed-toe mule brings iconic ‘70s detail to a truly modern cut. Our peep-toe mules are effortlessly chic in earthy yet elegant colors.

We have boots and booties to complement your unique fashion sense, from modern lug-sole boots to Western boots with all the details. Not sure where to start? The HUEY women’s booties are perfect for city dwellers and nature lovers alike. The chunky lug sole on this durable rain boot provides stability on slippery surfaces, while the synthetic lining keeps feet dry.

Our leather and suede women’s loafers also feature thick lug soles and chunky heels for an edgy, utilitarian aesthetic. Our flats come in a range of styles, from d’Orsay slip-ons and classic loafers to braided sandals and minimalist ballet flats.

We didn’t forget about the all-important sneaker, whether you’re into the athleisure look or all about street style. With platform soles and woven knit and crochet uppers in pastel and neutral hues, our DOLEN sneakers are the ultimate statement piece for your spring wardrobe. Our low-top ZINA sneakers are everyday essentials with retro color-block and side stripe details as well as modern perforated leather, metallic embellishments, and floral motifs.
