The City Sandal

 
 
 
 

Catch a lift? Our City Sandal was made for busy days of celebrations, and late nights on the dance floor. A just-right heel height, precisely placed straps, and a cushioned insole have earned our City Sandal cult status (per InStyle, it’s “so damn comfortable”).

A perennial bestseller thanks to its smart design and unrivaled comfort, The City Sandal is our gaux-to for every bride looking for a little lift. We started with a walkable 2.5-inch heel and layered in carefully placed straps and our signature foam padding at the insole. And voila! A shoe truly made for all-day wear.

    I most value style and comfort in shoes, and it’s really challenging to find a pair that meets this criteria. Margaux checks those boxes every single dang time.

The City Sandal runs true to size, so we recommend ordering based on your usual US size. If you are between sizes or widths, we recommend going up in size.

Our City Sandal is made from soft Italian nappa and suede and will soften and mold to your foot with wear. Ideally, the straps at the front of your foot should feel fitted but not too snug when you first put them on. The back straps are not designed to fit entirely flush against your ankle and heel so that they are comfortable as you move and walk. Like the straps at the front of the foot, they will soften with wear, and any initial gapping will become slightly less noticeable with time. 

Our nappa City Sandals are made from a soft Italian nappa leather. Nappa leather is permeable, so avoid exposure to water and rain. To maintain the sheen and finish over time, you can use a quality leather lotion. Our suede City Sandals are made from Italian suede, a surprisingly durable material. Marks and scuffs to the suede can be gently removed using a suede brush and cleaning spray, like those provided in our suede care kit. Regular treatment with a protectant spray can also help prevent signs of future wear.

The City Sandal has a comparable fit to The Platform Sandal, Carmine Mule, and Carmine Platform, as all are made on the same last.

The tailored front straps of the City Sandal should fit snugly but comfortably around the widest part of your foot. The straps at the heel will not be entirely flush against your foot in order to allow for comfortable movement throughout the day.

Bespoke pairs ordered through the atelier are handmade to order at our factory in Spain and ship within 10-12 weeks of order–right in time for your big day. Keep in mind that you may want your shoes for your dress fittings, so please take your fitting timeline into account when placing your order.

We are happy to send a selection of swatches for you to choose from on request. Simply submit your swatch selections and mailing address to the Atelier team via the form below, and we'll have your swatches on their way shortly!

As Atelier pairs are handmade to-order and unique to you, they are final sale and cannot be returned or exchanged.

Reviews

Perfect Nude Block Heel

"Scored these beautiful heels on sale during their Archives and they are perfect! Needed them for a bridesmaid line where the requirements were "Nude, block heel, open toe" and I hated how the single horizontal strap across the toes looked on me. These were perfect! I have slightly wider feet (but not wide enough to be considered wide size) and the Medium width worked perfectly! I'm a US size 7 but ordered a 38 which they list as a US size 8 and they fit perfectly!"

— Hunter J. (5/5)

Comfortable and lovely

"I love Margaux shoes and I ordered these from the sale to wear to a wedding - before I even bought my dress! I knew the gorgeous palest nude would go with anything. I wore them new from the box to the wedding and spent 6 hours on my feet socializing and dancing. The shoes were comfortable and gorgeous. Would order in every color!"

— Lisa C. (5/5)

Very cute and versatile shoe

"Such a really cute shoe! I ordered a 1/2 size larger than normal and it's still maybe just a tad short, but it works. Got a couple of compliments when I wore them for the first time. I had a great customer service experience as well with trying to decide which size was best. Very happy with my purchase and LOVE having options for pretty, well-made shoes in larger sizes!"

— Andi B. (5/5)

The only block sandal

"Margaux has a plenty of selection in size and width. Very orthodox design which is quite difficult to look for recently. It looks like it’s very well made. The customer service was very polite, and the shipping was prompt."

— Kenji S. (5/5)

Ordered this shoe and was sent an entirely different pair

"Sadly, I ordered this shoe and was sent an entirely different pair. This is extra frustrating because the shoe seems to have been discontinued. Truly a bummer as I have it in brown and absolutely love it, it’s chic, comfortable and classic. The customer service team, specifically Robyn, was wonderful and as helpful as she could be, but since the shoe is sold out I had to settle on a different pair that I’m not as taken with."

— Hillary B. (1/5)

"The espresso is a stunning color, and I can tell the leather is of good quality. The 5mm padding at the bottom of the shoe is very comfortable. However, there are some design flaws, such as the diagonal straps around the ankle being a bit too long, so they flay out. I agree with the seller's recommendations of sizing half a size up. Personally, I wish I would have gotten it in a wide width as the normal width is still a bit too narrow on my feet."

— Sally (4/5)

Go To Wedding Guest Shoe

"Danced the night away in these! Very comfortable and perfect height for me. As someone who doesn’t wear heels regularly, I walked in these with ease. They match with everything basically and look very pretty on. 10/10 recommend! These are gorgeous workhorse wedding shoes!"

— Jane F. (5/5)

Winner

"This is my THIRD pair of City Sandals, which is an indication of how much I LOVE this style. They are comfortable and chic. They’ve become an important part of my wardrobe. I wear half a size smaller in an open back shoe; the fit of these shoes is consistent with other shoes I wear, which is just another thing I appreciate about Margaux’s shoes, they fit well. However, the ankle straps were WAY too long on all 3 pairs. I needed to have my husband punch 3 more holes in each of the straps, which is odd, since I don’t have thin ankles, thin legs or even narrow feet. The only downside is that the straps are too long now, so they stick out a bit. Clearly that doesn’t bother me much."

— Marnie V. (5/5)

Perfect addition to my pre-wedding

"Perfect addition to my pre-wedding outfit. Very comfortable"

— Meredith A. (5/5)

Perfect City Sandals

"The City Sandal is everything I anticipated-stylish and well constructed of beautiful leather. Undoubtedly they will be a staple in my shoe wardrobe for years to come."

— Carol C. (5/5)
