The LIDO 2022 Summer Shoe Edit
The sun is shining and we are ready to cast aside our boots and trainers!
Here are our favorite brands for summer shoes and sandals, to carry you through the next few months!
This brand based in Soho (NYC) is not only creating funky espadrilles… Its team is on a real mission to source the best materials to produce their footwear; such as Chrome-free leather, innovative fibers made from 100% post-consumer recycled plastic bottles, or even foams made of plant derived bio-oil sourced from castor beans.

This family run business was started in 1927, in Saint Tropez. Since then every generation of the Rondini family has continued the tradition of making hand crafted leather sandals. Their craft is steeped in the traditional techniques and their models are the classics that remain timeless. If you are able to stop by the shop, you will be able to get a peak of their atelier, where everything is made, as it remains attached to the storefront.

We had to mention one of the most sophisticated summer footwear: the popular wedge espadrille! Founded by Luis Castañer in 1927, the iconic shoe has reached the entire world, while keeping strong values such as tradition, craftsmanship and the use of natural materials.

You will remember that we introduced you to Maria, the founder of Olympian Sandals, last August. If you have been thinking about her sandals since then, now is the time to jump on them. All traditionally crafted in her native Greece, these beautiful sandals will give you a spring in your step the entire summer!
