For over 30 years, Adrienne Vittadini® has been inspiring women to embrace their femininity and pursue their passions with confidence and poise. Our founder, Adrienne Vittadini, built this brand on the ideals of delivering accessible luxury and the promise that when you feel your best, you can take on the world. This spirit lives on in every pair of Adrienne Vittadini® shoes we craft.
Our History
Adrienne Vittadini launched her namesake brand in 1979, determined to break boundaries in the fashion industry. With an eye for chic, modern design and high-quality craftsmanship, Adrienne paved the way for a new kind of American style – practical yet sophisticated; casual yet elegant.
In the early years, the brand was known for its knitwear and iconic sweater dresses. But it was the launch of Adrienne Vittadini shoes in the 1980s that propelled the brand into a household name. Adrienne’s footwear designs made statement heels and polished flats accessible to every woman. She proved that you don’t have to sacrifice comfort for fashion – Adrienne Vittadini® shoes combined both effortlessly.
Throughout the decades, the brand has evolved with the times but stays true to Adrienne’s core vision. We’ve expanded our offerings into handbags, jewelry, fragrance and eyewear, but footwear remains our specialty. Adrienne Vittadini® shoes hold a unique place in the hearts of our fans. To this day, women worldwide count on us for footwear that makes them look good and feel confident from work to weekend.
Our Footwear
Adrienne Vittadini® shoes are designed for the modern woman on the move. Whether you’re headed to the office, an evening out or running weekend errands, our shoes effortlessly transition to keep pace with your lifestyle.
We offer a wide range of styles, colors and heel heights so you can build a wardrobe of footwear for every occasion. Here’s a look at some of our key collections:
The Classics
Our classic heels, flats and sandals have stood the test of time. They’re the shoes you’ll wear season after season, never going out of style. Pumps, peep-toes, wedges and ballet flats in lush patent leathers, buttery soft suedes and modern metallics make up our everyday classics collection. They’re office-approved and still stylish enough for date night.
Trend-Forward Shoes
While we love our classics, we also keep an eye on emerging trends. Our trend-forward footwear pushes boundaries with fresh silhouettes, bold colors, mixed materials, fun patterns and details like tassels, pom-poms and hardware. They transform simple outfits into fashion statements.
The Statement Makers
When you want your shoes to do all the talking, our statement styles turn up the volume. From sky-high platform heels to strappy caged sandals, embellished patterns and shiny metallics, these shoes command attention. They’re bold, fierce and empower you to show off your inner diva.
Boots
Transition between seasons in style with our collection of ankle boots, knee-high boots and booties. Choose between block heels, stilettos or flats in leather, suede and synthetic blends. Whether you’re stomping through slush or strutting down the sidewalk, our boots go the distance.
Comfort Features
While many of our shoes look ultra-glam, they feel like heaven thanks to comfort technologies like cushioned footbeds, flexible rubber soles and lightweight materials. We also design shoes specifically for all-day wear, like our comfort clogs, slip-ons, espadrilles and flats with arch support. You’ll look chic and stay comfortable at the same time.
Our Design and Craftsmanship
Adrienne Vittadini® has been perfecting accessible luxury footwear for decades. Our design process combines classic Italian shoemaking techniques with a modern American edge. The result is shoes made to the highest standards, without the outrageous price tags.
Honoring Our Heritage
Adrienne has always had a penchant for Italy. She was inspired by the Italian approach to creating beautiful, quality products that make people look and feel exceptional. Early in her career, she established relationships with Italian shoemakers to produce her sophisticated designs. To this day, Adrienne Vittadini® shoes are made in Italy to uphold these old-world craftsmanship traditions.
Built to Last
Our shoes are designed to stand the test of time and trends. We use premium materials like Italian leathers, suedes and patent leathers meticulously cut and stitched together by skilled artisans. Durable rubber outsoles provide traction and flexibility. Our goal is for your Adrienne Vittadini® shoes to hold up for countless steps – not just a single season.
A Passion for Detail
It’s in the small details that our shoes really shine. Elegant buckles, delicate stitching, layered straps, custom hardware and decorative embellishments elevate our footwear. These thoughtful touches take a shoe from basic to brilliant. Our designers find inspiration in jewelry, architecture, nature, textiles and art to turn out show-stopping details.
Uncompromising Comfort
Sophistication meets all-day comfort across our collections. We use cushioned footbeds, padded insoles and flexible materials so you can walk with ease. Adjustable straps, stretchy elastic, padded socks and slip-on silhouettes also amp up the comfort factor. Our shoes might just be the hardest working heels in your closet.
Creating Timeless, Confidence-Boosting Shoes
Great style gives you the freedom to present your best self to the world. Adrienne Vittadini® designs shoes that make you feel beautiful from the inside out. Our brand promise is to create footwear that is:
