Hand-crafted
Footwear
We offer a unique range of personally curated footwear from New Zealand and International designers. Our shoes are made in small family owned factories across the world, primarily in Italy, Spain and Germany. Artisans passionate about their craft use traditional shoe-making techniques. Third and fourth generations in these family businesses bring fresh concepts and modern elements to the traditional craft.
Our
Exclusives
Head over Heels offers exclusive collaborations with some of our favourite Kiwi and International designers. We work closely with these brands to customise our range and add our own twists. Sourcing unique colours and leathers that aren’t available anywhere else in the market allows us to deliver special pieces that are tailored to our customers.
The new Manettes are here! We have worked with Beau Coops again to customise one of our favourite Summer shoes, just for Head over Heels! Manette has been given a fresh new look for 2020 with a new polished, wooden heel. Wooden heels bring versatility and softness, allowing you to style these up for weddings or dress them down for a more casual look. We have also chosen three new exclusive colours ~ bordo for a pop of colour, and nude and off-white for neutral options that will go with almost anything.
