The Aubrey slingback loafer in Begonia red and black — leather, brass hardware, two adjustable straps, a 1 inch platform and a 1.5 inch heel. The Poppie heel in Fandango Pink and Fog, a velvet low heel on a flexible rubber sole with a 2 inch heel. The Gwen Chelsea boot in Umber Lilac, brown leather with a lilac rubber bumper and flyknit gores, and the Morris boot in Violet, fuzzy suede on a hiking silhouette with plaid flannel lining and double sport laces. Six styles in women's sizes 6 to 10, $228 to $348; the collection shows only what's in stock.
Charlotte Stone started her label in 2014 after FIDM's shoe-design program and time learning the craft under artisan shoemakers in Italy, and the brand's line is "shoes that get color right." You see it in the details: a lilac bumper on a brown boot, velvet on a work-day heel, and the signature flared rubber base that gives a loafer some height without taking away the ease.
Fit: the product page for each style lists heel and platform height and wins over any rule here. Wear the Aubrey with ASKK NY jeans or Saint Art trousers; see women's shoes for Larroudé, Jeffrey Campbell and Intentionally Blank alongside.
Questions we get about Charlotte Stone
How high is the Aubrey loafer?
A 1 inch platform with a 1.5 inch heel on the flared rubber base — some height without the feel of a heel.
Are the Poppie heels comfortable for a full evening?
That's the design: a 2 inch heel and a flexible rubber outsole under a soft velvet upper.
