If you haven’t booked your summer trip to the South of France or the Amalfi Coast yet, you are about to be inspired. Tod’s has released a new campaign, styling its new slip-on shoe by capturing the beautiful landscape of the Mediterranean and portraying the modern elegance of Tod’s in a series of still images and a short video. As we found out, the slip-ons couldn’t have looked more at home on the Med…
Indeed, whether you’re jetting off for a chic city break in St. Tropez or a relaxing coastal escape in Positano, Tod’s refined yet relaxed slip-on has been created as a leisure shoe par excellence, designed to ensure you’re putting your best – and most elegant – feet forward, wherever your summer adventures take you.
The lightweight and comfortable slip-ons in a choice of suede and nubuck are characterised by a soft silhouette and minimal clean design, adding effortless elegance to any summer attire. Indeed, whether you’re wearing a pair with casual linen trousers and a polo shirt during the day, or smart tailored trousers and a sweater in the evening, dressed up or down, we guarantee this will be the most versatile shoe in your wardrobe, and one you’ll wear time and time again. Essentially, it’s a fail-safe shoe you can pack for every summer trip and know it will look tastefully put together with all your holiday ensembles, without seeming like you’re trying too hard.
Attentive to every detail, the sporty soles in rubber and raffia are covered with Tod’s distinctive rubber pebbles, which are also on the heel, while the upper part of the shoe recalls a traditional style loafer. This combination of contemporary and classic design is achieved by the expertise of Tod’s craftspeople, who have innovatively applied the manufacturing techniques traditionally used in glove-making – ensuring these slip-ons really do fit like a glove on your feet! The production of each shoe requires an extremely high level of skill, and the sewing of the pieces is done by hand.
The slip-on is available in a range of colours drawn from riviera landscapes and pastel-tinted towns – take your pick from shades of brown, beige, grey, green, and a striking light blue, which will add personability and flair to an otherwise neutral outfit.
One thing’s for sure, Tod’s new slip-on is a summer footwear must-have, ideal for strolling through the streets, or putting your feet up and embracing the carefree Italian lifestyle – by far the most stylish way to make memories on the Mediterranean, and beyond.
