The Dune story
Design philosophy
Dune's flared heel breaks the slim-stiletto rule; it widens toward the floor for greater stability and a sculptural presence. And the tortoise buckle is a retro touch that breaks the strictness of glossy black, uniting modernity with a warm classic detail.
Material quality and our checks
On inspection the flared heel is solid, not hollow, so it carries weight steadily despite its slim side profile. The tortoise buckle is real resin with natural colour gradients, not printed, and the patent's gloss is evenly spread.

FAQ
Is the flared heel steadier than a stiletto?
Yes, widening toward the floor broadens the base for better balance than a slim pin, with a distinctive sculptural presence.
What is the tortoise buckle and is it durable?
It's a resin with brown gradients like a tortoise shell, durable and break-resistant, adding a warm retro touch that breaks black's gloss.
Is the sharp pointed toe comfortable for the toes?
It gives enough room despite its sharp front, but anyone with wider toes may prefer a half size up.
Is Dune practical for the formal office?
Yes, the closed-front slingback cut is more composed than open sandals, suiting the refined office as well as evening.
