The reign of animal print has still not said its last word and if the leopard is really already well integrated into our dressing rooms, it is the turn of the python to seduce the more refractory. And the wise shape of the square heel is perfect for calming down a daring print like the python, so now is the perfect time to crack!

Nubuck square-heel sandals

@Asos

This leather finish called nubuck is highly sought after this year. A couture, even "luxury" spirit that really brings a very glamorous style to their owner. A timeless version that will be very elegant on black, cream or camel sandals. To wear with a beautiful colorful dress like an orange dress, a white dress or a fuchsia pink dress.

Velvet square-heel sandals

@Rivecour

Aesthetically similar to nubuck sandals, velvet shoes , they bring an even more authentic touch. A charm that is perfect for a dressy outfit, a romantic outfit, a bohemian outfit. Moreover, this season, we set our sights on the square toe sandals velvet rose. A powdery, soft and delicate pink for summer or fir green or burgundy for winter.

The slingback shoe

@Stradivarius

Often confused with babies, slingbacks are very different. Created by the famous Coco Chanel in the 1950s, the first slingbacks were two-tone (beige-black). They exist with round toes, pointed toes, animal print, leather, classic heels, but especially square heels! And quite frankly, to blend in with the retro universe of this couture shoe, we love the square toe model!

High square toe pump in patent leather

@Prada

Who says square heel says stability but beware, that does not mean that square heels cannot be dizzying. There are high pumps with a square heel . Of course, if you can't walk in high heels, it's better to opt for a small square heel for more stability.

The transparent block heel

@Boohoo

If you love fashion, you'll definitely have seen these shoes passed somewhere between Vogue, Instagram and Here. The transparent square toe sandal is the new generation of very hype sandal that we dare to wear in everyday life. They will be to die for with light jeans and a cream knit or a beige top.

However, be careful, because the transparency of the heel (and sometimes even of the sandal) attracts the eye much more at the level of the feet. So make sure you have a great french pedicure!
