All Eyes Are On You When You're Wearing Your Slingback Heels.

Slingback heels are the skirt slits of the foot world. They offer a glimpse of skin and a dash of mystery. That's why women have been wearing them since the 18th Century. Some things simply never go out of style.

In 2023, Vogue called slingback heels summer’s sexiest shoe. They said the same in 2022 because some shoes are universally chic year after year. They’re synonymous with golden Hollywood glamor, just as they were in the 18th century when the first leather pair hit the shelves. That’s why women have been wearing them ever since. Slingback high heels hark back to the elegance of Audrey Hepburn, but they’re equally relevant among modern stars like Selena Gomez and Katie Holmes.

What To Expect From The Bobbies Slingback Block Heels Collection This Year

Slingbacks have always been a core component of the Bobbies range. They’re a classic, after all. This year’s slingback heels for women recall the pointed toes and kitten heels of the early Noughties. They’re low enough to be comfy, but sophisticated enough to carry you into the cocktail lounge. When it comes to slingback heels black is the must-have option, but we also bring you this year’s cream and navy palette with a comfortable insole. If you prefer a square toe, this year’s trendiest block heels come replete with gold-tone metal hardware. This season, we’re seeing style stars in nude slingback aesthetics and metal finishes. Nude heels for women are always on trend, but this summer, they’re an exclusive favourite fashion of choice.

Trendy Pumps Made The Old-Fashioned Way

This year, Bobbies slingback styles are strappy and sleek with a strong Fifties reference. If you’re looking for slingback heels closed toe designs will carry you into winter, but Bobbies is about more than mere beauty. Our shoes are handcrafted by specialists in a traditional Portuguese workshop where only the finest results will do. Every detail matters, including earth-friendliness. Bobbies is passionate about saving the planet, so we source all our materials ethically. Portugal is renowned for its shoemaking excellence, so our patternmaker custom crafts all our court shoes individually, optimising leather scraps to eliminate wastage. Every footbed and size is hand-cut and dyed. Then our pointy-toe slingback heels are stitched and painted by hand. Whether the shoe is textured or smooth, open or closed, the personal touch makes all the difference.

How Your Shoe is Assembled

Every new slingback strap, toe, and stiletto heel must be heated, softened, and fused. Our master assembler even creates the logo by hand. Now that’s dedication. Our finishing team takes over details like gold tone metal hardware, polishing, and insoles before packaging the shoe. Two hundred micro-steps go into every pair of Bobbies shoes. That’s why our fans can’t bear to take them off when they get home. Each pair is crafted with the utmost devotion.

Eco-Friendly Chic

Bobbies is passionate about more than just style. We also feel strongly about ethical fashion, so our entire production line is built to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. We operate around our logistical core in Portugal, always keeping other manufacturing players within three kilometres of our workshop. Then we move directly onto the delivery phase so that we can reduce the carbon footprint of our transportation requirements. Your slingback shoes will be the core of your summer wardrobe for years into the future. They’re fashion staples that simply never date. Bobbies brings you every design you could wish for, from kitten-heeled flats to laid-back stilettos. They’re the extra oomph your summer wardrobe needs.
