Though his name is synonymous with stilettos, Manolo Blahnik is equally talented at designing pragmatic options like the Aldena loafer. The velvety suede slip-on is superbly soft, giving way to a leather sole and stacked heel. Tonal stitching and a split, rounded apron toe hit menswear notes with Blahnik’s watchful eye for femininity. Tassels add a classic flourish.
