Bianca Wooden Heel

Why it's worth it

A palm tree heel. That is the shoe.

The Edit

Slim double-straps of red nappa leather intersect at the toe and run to a silver-buckle ankle strap — the upper is almost nothing, which is exactly the point. All the intent lives in the heel: a 90mm palm tree carved from wood, trunk striped dark brown, fronds lacquered green, grounded in a black base. Made in Italy on a square-toe last with a leather-lined footbed and natural-edge sole.
