Italian Heels is a high heel label that was well known in the early 2000s but is less-mentioned today. The Italian-based manufacturer makes exactly what its name says it does, high heels from Italy.
Back in 2013 we bought these 4.4 inch black stiletto mules from ItalianHeels.com and were satisfied with them. The shoes are entirely handmade from quality leather and natural fabric by the brand’s highly experienced shoemakers.
We’ve reviewed the mules further below, but first a word of caution. In 2023, we revisited the Italian Heels website and it doesn’t appear to have changed in about 20 years.
The copyright declaration in the footer says “2015” and the dated look of the site doesn’t give much confidence to a purchaser. There are also limited online reviews available.
This is not to say that there’s anything wrong with ItalianHeels.com, just that we don’t have any recent intelligence either way.
Turning back to the excellent mules that we bought a decade ago, the hot shoes have a shiny black patent kidskin leather upper, which is minimalist to say the least. The 4.4 inch (110mm) gold metal spiked stiletto heel is a manageable height but more than high enough to qualify the shoe as a truly sexy high heel.
Perhaps the best feature of all is the striking gold opalized lining on the mules. Not immediately obvious when the wearer is standing still, the lining flashes seductively as she walks – or as these stilettos dangle absentmindedly off her toes when taking a deserved break from the dance floor.
They’re a solid gold shoe tease either way but with a classy patent leather touch that the fashion conscious young woman demands. We bought Italian heels’ black stiletto mules direct from the manufacturer’s website for around USD$110 (a currency converter is available on the site).
