Quick answer
Choose SHEILA for all-day comfort and a flat silhouette; choose AMALIA for a dressy, elevated look with a 10 cm heel.
Heel height and silhouette differences
SHEILA is a pointed-toe ballerina flat with a subtle 2 cm wedge heel, offering a nearly flat profile that is ideal for extended wear. AMALIA, in contrast, is a slingback pump with a 10 cm heel, providing significant lift and a more formal silhouette. Your choice depends on whether you prioritize comfort or height.
Materials and closure style
SHEILA is finished in patent leather, giving it a glossy, polished look that pairs well with both casual and semi-formal outfits. AMALIA is made from piel (leather) and features a destalonado (slingback) design, which offers a more adjustable fit around the heel and a classic, open-back aesthetic. The slingback can be more forgiving for different heel shapes.
