Dorking by Fluchos Cady burgundy patent lace-up shoes

These burgundy patent shoes for women from Dorking by Fluchos are a lace-up style on a chunky sole that gives everyday outfits a modern edge. The croc-embossed patent catches the light, shifting from deep wine red to almost black.

The look

The Cady is a classic lace-up with five pairs of eyelets, thin black laces and a rounded toe. What makes it stand out is the base: a deep cleated sole and a low, block heel that keeps you steady on your feet. There's a small Dorking tab on the side, and the inside is finished in navy.

Fit

The laces let you adjust the fit across the instep, whether you're wearing fine socks or something thicker. The rounded toe gives your toes room to move, and the thick sole puts a bit of distance between you and the pavement, which you'll appreciate on long days on your feet or walking around town.

How to wear it

Burgundy works almost like a neutral. Try it with straight or cropped jeans, grey or black tailored trousers, or a midi skirt with dark tights. Paired with a camel coat or a beige trench, the colour stands out without shouting. It's a good choice for the office, lunch out, or the cooler autumn and spring days on the Costa del Sol.

Caring for patent

Wipe with a soft, slightly damp cloth and dry straight away. Keep the shoes away from direct heat and store them in a fabric bag so they don't get scuffed against other pairs.
