For us, the most elegant shoe to wear with black and white tie. The Opera Pump is a slipper with a bow on the front and a black satin quilted lining, handcrafted in Spain from patent leather. A style that has entered the 21st century pretty much exactly as it left the 19th.
* Crafted by hand in Spain
* Black satin quilted lining
* Patent leather
* Blake stitch construction
* Single leather sole
Fits small – size up
Our Belgians and Opera Pumps are crafted on a narrow last – we generally recommend choosing half a size up from your usual size in laced shoes. Please refer to our Size Guide above or reach out to our customer experience team for detailed sizing guidance.
* Rotate between wears and insert shoe trees after use to retain shape and minimise creasing.
* Use a shoe horn when putting them on and remove the slippers by hand to protect the heel.
* Wipe the patent leather upper gently with a soft cloth after wear to remove smudges.
* Use a dedicated patent cleaner on scuffs and avoid abrasive brushes.
* Let the leather sole dry at room temperature if it becomes damp and keep away from direct heat sources.
* If you expect frequent wear in wet conditions, add a thin rubber sole for extra grip and added longevity.
* Store the slippers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
