Personally, itâs hard to choose just one kind of footwear from this decadent shoe brand because thereâs something for every girl. If we really had to recommend one thing though, it would be the Apophis pumps in black. Itâs the classic black pump with a gorgeous twistâdragon wings. Perfect for the Khaleesis in your life.
Why yes, men can be into shoes too. For your guy friend (or âguy friendâ), a great addition to his growing footwear collection would be the DMâs Lite, the newest shoe from Dr. Martens. Featuring the brandâs signature style but in a new ultra-lightweight Phylon midsole, itâs both durable and even more comfortable. Go timeless with the black pair, or be a little more edgy with the Newton cherry red one.
